My weight loss journey
Feb 20, 2008
I am now post-op...My surg. was Wed. 7/7/04 and I came home on 7/10/04. I am almost one weak post-op and feel very good. I have my follow up with the surgon on Thursday to have the staples removed.
(Sunday July 18, 2004)
Well I went to the Dr.'s on Thursday to have my staples removed and I found out I lost 18.5 lbs in one week and one day! I was so happy! Well I get on the scale today and I am now under 300lbs for the 1st time in a very long time. I will post again soon! :-)

Sorry it has been so long since I posted my old computer finaly had it and needed to get a new one. I am feeling great and now eating real food. I am now down 36lbs and counting. I decided to join a gym to give my weight loss a little kick. I already feel so good and can't wait to keep dropping the pounds.

I have not posted in a while things have been very busy with work and I just wanted to give a quick update. I am down 39lbs as of this morning. I can not stop my self from getting on the scale every single day. I was getting depressed because my weight was not going down but lost 2 more lbs so I was happy with that but wish it would move faster.

Ok...So I again have not updated in a while...I am so close to no longer being morbidly obese. The word morbid is so bad! I am now 3 months and 5 days out of surgery and down 51lbs. I can't complain about that progress! I feel great!

"In this Skin"
(by Jessica Simpson)
They see me in a magazine
I'm the one they want to be
Still dont feel I'm good enough
Still don't feel I'm thin enough
I stand up and I'm pushed back down
And every opinion now
It makes me feel inhuman
Givin' in and givin' up
To be worthy
To feel beautiful in this skin
Be beautiful in this skin
Love me for me
Have confidence in this skin
Be confident in this skin
So tell me what is wrong with me
I'm the girl with everything
So why am I not strong enough
I wanna be strong enough
To tell you how I really feel
I know my talent is real
So don't tell me
Don't tell me
I have to prove one or two
I don't have to prove
So don't tell me
Don't tell me
Cause I am worthy
To feel beautiful in this skin
Be beautiful in this skin
Love me for me
Have confidence in this skin
Be real, be real
See the beauty indise this skin
I don't have to hide this skin
I feel, I feel
An awakening in this skin
Stop forsaking me in this skin
I am, I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am
oooohhh
To be
worthy
Be beautiful
Love me
For me
Cause I am beautiful
To be worthy
To feel beautiful in this skin
Be beautiful in this skin
Love me for me
Have confidence in this skin
Be confident in this skin
Be real, be real
See the beautiful in this skin
Cause I don't want to have to hide it
I feel, I feel
I'm beautiful in this skin
Beautiful in this skin
I'm beautiful
And your beautiful
Beautiful in this skin
