HELLO
Jun 29, 2007
WELL LET ME FIRST START OFF WITH YES IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE JOURNALED ON HERE. I GOT MY BUTTERFLY TATTOO TODAY AND I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT, I LIKE IT ALOT. I MEASURED MYSELF ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AND I AM DOWN 22 INCHES ALL OVER SINCE SURGERY. I TEND TO GET FRUSTRATED THAT IT TAKES SO LONG TO COME OFF, BUT AGAIN I HAD LAP-BAND AND I AM NOW JULY 7TH WILL BE FIVE MONTHS POST OPT. I NEED TO FOCUS MORE ON WATER AND EXERCISE. THERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE I WAS GOING THROUGH THE LOSING MY HAIR SOME. MY HAIR IS SO THICK THOUGH IT DIDN'T SHOW. I AM NOW IN A 14 PANTS CONSIDERING BEFORE I WAS IN A 20, SO IT IS NICE TO LOOK IN SIZES THAT ARE NOT ALWAYS CONSIDERED PLUS SIZES. NOW AS FOR MY TOP WELL THESE BOOBS JUST ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE QUICK ENOUGH. I AM STARTING TO DRESS NICER AND SHOW SOME FIGURE INSTEAD OF BIG BAGGY T-SHIRTS AND PANTS. RIGHT NOW MY SCALE SAYS I AM DOWN 29LBS. I WENT FOR MY THIRD FILL JUNE 12TH AND I HONESTLY THOUGHT THE SCALE WAS GOING TO SAY THAT I GAINED WEIGHT, BUT IT DIDN'T IT SAID THAT I LOST 2LBS. SO ATLEAST IT DID NOT GO UP, BUT IT SURE COULD HAVE GONE DOWN MORE. WELL THAT IS IT FOR NOW.
HANGING IN THERE
May 01, 2007
WELL I DID THE MARCH OF DIMES WALK ON SUNDAY IT WAS 3 MILES AND I GOT TO SAY THAT WAS ALMOST NOTHING. I WAS REALLY SURPRISED AT HOW WELL I DID THAT I GUESS THE TRAINING AND EXERCISING THAT I HAVE BEEN DOING PAID OFF. I DID 3 MILES IN ABOUT 40 MINS. PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. I ENJOYED MYSELF AND I LIKED THE FACT OF GETTING EXERCISE. NOW THE REAL TRICK WAS AT THE END OF THE WALK THEY HAVE SO MUCH FREE FOOD: HOT DOGS, CHEESEBURGER, PANCAKES, COTTON CANDY, SOFT DRINKS OH AND WATER. TELL ME HOW THEY COULD DO THAT AFTER JUST WALKING AND TRYING SO HARD. THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED ME IS THE FACT THAT IF I ATE BREAD IT WOULD STICK SO BAD IN MY BAND I WOULD PROBABLY BE VOMITTING FOR DAYS. I DIDN'T WANT THE FOOD THAT BAD!!! I'VE BEEN BUSY WITH MY SON AND HIS BASEBALL THAT I STILL HAVEN'T HAD A WHOLE LOT OF ME TIME, BUT HE GOES TO HIS DAD ON WEDNESDAY AND BACK TO THE GYM FOR THE WEEK FOR ME. I AM LOOKING VERY FORWARD TO IT. WELL I AM STILL SITTING AT THE 175LBS. AND NOT MOVING. I'LL TRY HARDER THIS WEEK. HOPE ALL WHO READS THIS IS DOING WELL.
NEEDING TO TALK
Apr 28, 2007
WELL I WEIGHED IN TODAY AND I AM AT 175LBS. NOW. ORIGINALLY STARTED AT 203LBS. DAY OF SURGERY. I GOT TO ADMIT THIS TAKES ALOT OF HARD WORK TO GET THIS WEIGHT OFF. I AM ACTUALLY ABLE TO SHOP IN STORES AND START TO ENJOY IT. I USE TO WEAR A SIZE 20 AND NOW I AM DOWN TO A SIZE 16 SO THAT IS NICE. I AM DOING THE MARCH OF DIMES WALK TOMORROW THAT IS THE FAMILY 3 MILE WALK WITH MY MOTHER, SON, AND MY NIECE. I TRY TO DO THIS EVERY YEAR, HOPEFULLY THIS YEAR WILL BE EASIER. I HAVE BEEN GOING TO THE GYM TO WORKOUT AND I ACTUALLY DON'T MIND EXERCISING NOW. I EVEN GET UPSET ON DAYS THAT I DON'T HAVE TIME TO IS THAT CRAZY OR WHAT? IT IS GOING ON MY 3RD MONTH SINCE SURGERY ON MAY 7TH. I HAVE HAD SOME STRUGGLES LATELY WITH TRYING TO BE STRICK ON MYSELF AS WELL AS GET ALL OF MY WATER IN. I NEED TO PUT MYSELF IN CHECK AGAIN. I HAVE HAD ALOT OF STRESS WITH MY FATHER NOT FEELING WELL. HE HAS HEART DISEASE AND NOW HE HAS TO HAVE ANOTHER ANGIOGRAM DONE MAY 7TH. THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING A PACE MAKER IN HIM, HONESTLY IT LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT NEED TO HAVE OPEN HEART SURGERY AGAIN. THATS NOT GOOD. I FEEL LIKE I AM LACKING SUPPORT RIGHT NOW WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO BE POSITIVE TOWARD MYSELF. WELL I GUESS THAT IS ENOUGH VENTING FOR NOW. I WILL UPDATE LATER TOMORROW AFTER THE WALK.

I AM REALLY STARTING TO LIKE EXERCISING MAYBE IT'S NOT SO BAD.
