HAS ANYONE READ MY WHOLE STORY...FROM THE BEGINNING OF MY JOURNEY...PLEASE POST A COMMENT IF YOU HAVE...I RMEMEBER WHEN I BEGAN THIS JOURNEY I USE TO SEARCH PEOPLES PAGES AND GO BACK AND READ EVERY POST...JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE DID THAT TO ME..IF SO WHAT DID YOU THINK?

 I was so nervous going into that surgery waiting room...and now I'm a year and 27 days out wow....Its feels good I'm hanging around the 150-160 range which I'm fine with...I'm about to try this p90x thing out so we'll see if i can get it tight get it right lol as they say.....so if anyone has any feedback concerning that please holla at me...but other than that I'm about to start grad school in the fall going back to bama so if your in the area holla at me...peace be with you all..and much success in your journeys

...............for now

moving on down the road...lol....still  going

So I am at 173lbs... weight is coming off a little slower nowadays but im still happy because its coming off period lol !!! So yes its a major adjustment new lifestyle, new life in general.....Im having fun though, moreso then I have in a long time lol probably ever in my adult  and teenage life why? you may ask well because I have energy!!!!! So Much Energy to spare!! Other then that Im still going towards my goal of 160-165 and when I get there I plan on maintaining and toning up all this flab...A lot of people having been asking me about my workout routine well I dont really workout conssitantly but I do walk  I do  a lot of walking but I am going to start getting a consistent rountine going I was talking to one of the trainers at the gym on campus...and he said that i should do cardio two times a week and weight train three days a week and that will help me tone up. So we will see how that goes...lol i knocked the fat but not the laziness but we will work it out! lol alright until next time peace be with you!

this statement is ringing so true for me right now for the first time in my life i am able to say no to bad foods and to food in general (when im not hungry) ive never been able to just say no and now i think to myself is eating this going to be beneficial to me  in the long run and if the answer is no i just step away and that makes me feel better then any bite that i could ever take....i just wanted to share this because i know that before my procedure i never thought i would be able to get past the need to eat all the time but im here to tell you that it does get better just keep working your tool and youll be successful..thats not to say its easy because everyday its a struggle but as time goes by youll start to develop new habits you just have to keep on going and not be discouraged by the setbacks( that will come) as we are on this journey ...having this surgery is one of the best... if not the best decision ive ever made for myself....but i will say this the biggest change with wls was not the physical but the mental change that youll experience as you move along this journey (that part of it is a beast)...but even with that im still happy that i had the opportunity to have gastric bypass rny

Now i've seen a number of people make those cute little list about what they want to do when they lose their weight im a lil late but im going to create one too!

!) Of course... leave/abandon and never look back at the plus size section! Bye bye Lane Bryant we had some good times but its over
2) Share clothes with my skinny friends..this one may be funny...but when I go somewhere with my skinny friends their always in each others closest trading clothes and what not I want to do that too acheived
3)Get rid of my CPAP acheived
4)Not feel self-conscious when I'm the biggest girl in the place still working on the whole self-conscious thing - still working on this its amazing even with all the weight loss this is as evident as ever
5)lol not be the biggest girl in the place(not the biggest girl in place) still true woohoo
6)Have fun when I go out still working getting better each time
7)Fit and wear knee high boots (not just the ones with the stretch or that are made for wide calves) going to the store today to try some on my fat boots are way too big yes love the boots
8) Have lots and lots of energy Energy to spare
9)Buy clothes from these little cutsy stores (i.e Forever 21, Delias, etc) bought a couple of things but not completely "in there" yet lol college student cant afford clothes right now but i can get into them lol

okay so everyone told me that it was going to happen! The haters, the haters, the haters.......Well yeah it's coming as soon as you get some shine people want to knock you right down off of your high...wow I dint think it was going to happen to me but it did
