Weight gain in Rosedale, MD

Aug 20, 2013

Is anyone interested in joining a fitness club, walking, or joining Weight Watchers in the Rosedale, MD area?

Like many others, surgery was not the magic bullet I was stupid enough to think it is.  My partner is absolutely lazy and, once again, I have become lazy and have gained 40+ lbs.  I am very upset about the weight gain and lack of motivation because I don't have a partner to join me even in walking. 

I need to wrap my mind around being healthy instead of gorging on crackers, cheese, and nibbles during the day.  I am going to try cherry tomatoes and pickles to see if the helps me stabilize.

Everyone can use a "buddy" right??  Message me about your issues, if any and perhaps we can motivate each other positively again!

I wish you all well!!

Fat Again!

May 08, 2013

Well, I've gained 40 pounds and am not back in the Fat Category.  Disappointed that my eating habits are right back the way they were.  I'm hungry during the day too.

I thought that with the Sleeve surgery, I'd never get hungry again.  

Well, the silver bullet didn't kill the hunger.

Perhaps I was fooling myself.

Very disappointed in the surgery and myself for allowing the backslide.

Happy New Year All!

Dec 30, 2008

I guess I have been lax and have not posted.  I am down 71 pounds and thought that was amazing but I see others loosing at greater speed.  Well, congratulations to everyone who has taken this life changing journey!

I do not eat as I should and don't care for the protien drinks but do my best to so I don't begin loosing my hair.  My doctor told me that it takes 3 months for the hair loss to start and 6 months to stop it!!  Bottom line, do the protien thing!!!

I am very curious to see that this loss will continue and can not imagine loosing more!!  I feel somewhat tired but I am getting older! LOL  Will keep posting and looking forward to hearing from everyone.

Best of Luck and a Happy, Prosperous New Year to all!

Can't update the Weight Tracker

Oct 01, 2008

Can't update the tracker, but I can update my blog ... I am down 33 pounds in 6 weeks so that's not too shabby.  I now weigh 240 and feel like I'm struggling.  Now how can that be?  I hardly eat anything because nothing really tastes good, plus I feel uncomfortable when the food is going down.  I am sure I am not getting the 60 grams of protien per day ... how does one accomplish that?  If I have more protein, will it help get that scale moving?

I'll update again soon.


Fat ... Thin ... Fat ... Thin

Sep 05, 2008

The scale moved.  Horray!! 

I am so looking forward to reaching the 200 mark and that is still heavy.  Is it impossible to be hoping to reach that by December?  Yes, that is agressive, isn't it?  Maybe by March ... is that too slow.  Theoritically no, but emotionally, it is so far in the future, I just can not fathom.

I have been fat and thin and fat and thin.  I have read where others have lost their weight after surgery and have begun gaining again. Oh my God, I pray that does not happen and this is my last yo yo.

While being off work, I find myself lonely and bored.  No one to talk to during the day and when my fiance comes home, he's either too tired or shows no interest in my thoughts or progress in this journey.  I am receiving no encouragement from him.  Sometimes I feel like I'm in a house of cards.

Being off work is causing financial problems to mushroom, so that is adding to my worry. 

I am thankful for the option to post here as it is like going to confession.  Writing about my emotional experiences is cleansing.

Anyway, fat or thin, I'm the same person, but as we all know, the attitude changes.  People in this world just don't accept the heavy folk for who they are, right?  Or is that my mindset by shutting down when fat?  Well, given time, this will pass and I will begin to feel thin again and fit in the clothes I wore just 2 years ago.

My abdomen is still tender and sensitive.  I am looking forward to that going away and having small portions of real food.  That is just around the corner so it's not out of site.

All that said, goodnight for now.

I'm trying to keep the faith!

Slow Loss

Sep 02, 2008

Why is the damn scale not moving?  I have had no food in over 2 weeks and nothing going on.  I found out I have a UTI and need antibiotics.  Maybe that is the reason loosing is sluggish.  My right side is sensitive today; either because shorts too tight at the waist or because the drain area is healing ... not sure.  I don't feel heat so hopefully everything is ok.

I didn't gain the weight overnight even though it seemed like it.  I am trying to deal with the loss over time.  Anticipation!!

It's done!

Aug 24, 2008

I'm home, sore, and want something to eat.  Even toast.  I'm not really hungry, but feel like I should have something.  I can not believe I actually did this.  Here's to hoping I have added years to my life and will be a healthier, happier me. 

Time will tell and I am sure my moods will change for the better as well.

Be back soon.

Best of luck to everyone!!

Tomorrow is it.

I pray the Lord will be with me as I go through this surgery.  Why should I be afraid?  God, please bless me, stay with me and guide me.  Amen.

While getting ready to send off my FMLA, I called the doctors office to request a fax.  I was told the documentation would be faxed but not given a time.  One of my staff picked up the paperwork for me, and wouldn't you know it BOLDLY said OBESITY on it.  I was so upset I cried.  I did not tell those I work with why I am having surgery and felt this was so uncalled for.

I guess I just can not believe that I am obese.  Not to mention, I am somewhat fearful of the surgery.  I am praying that everything goes well and I have no complications, do not come out of surgery handicapped or face mortality on Wednesday.

It's awful, but I don't feel like talking it, nor do I feel loved today.  My fiance says he is concerned and doesn't want me to be in paid, yet he shows no affection.  My children do not know, and I have not shared with many friends. 

This is my sharing network.  I know I am looking for a guarantee that all will be well.  It's crazy that I just can not imagine this ordeal finally being over with.  I hope these emotions are normal.

God please hear and answer my prayers.  St. Theresa and St. Jude have interceded for me along the way and I pray they hold my hand.
