Forgiven
Jan 18, 2007
I have not posted on the new board. I lost all of my old profile when I transfered over. I am not very computer savy. I am 17 months out from Gastric Bypass and I have lost 185 pounds. I am so grateful for all of the lessons I have learned and am learning. I have noticed that I have been struggling with depression alot more and am learning to thank GOD for what I have and learn to appreciate all that is around me. I have a wonderful son Caleb, his presence reminds me every day that I do have something to live for and that life is worth living. I am going to take one day at a time and try to learn as I go. I'm a LPN and I have been working for about 5-months. This has been the most difficult job I have ever taken on. I realized how much I like to be in control and I have been learing that I have to trust GOD and let him be in control. I never know what to expect when I get to work and that has been a great insecurity for me. I like to know what to expect and this a has been and is still a growing time for me.
I get to work with other surgery patients that have had the different weight loss procedures and that has been very exciting. To talk with them and encourage and also be able to share my experiences with them and know that I have helped them in the process. I am in the process of taking courses at home to get my RN.
This weekend I am going to empty my storage unit that I have had since my ex-husband and I have seperated/now divorced for 5-years. I have been wanting to do this for a long time, I just didn't want to let go. So I am moving on to bigger and better things in my life. That is one that I am seeing through my journey, to love my self as I choose the correct foods and also not to be afraid of change.
