I am a little confused about this new program. I told my story in my old profile!
Typical yo yo dieting for almost 10 years, each time the weight gain was 10 lbs more.
Basically, 5 months post op, still losing, about 62 lbs so far. I know it's a bit slower than most, but I try to remind myself it's not a contest, a lifestyle.
I've encountered some hard times in the last few months. My employer decided that they don't need Nurse Midwives any longer so I had one month to find a job. I had a few interviews and chose Tampa.
Right now I am not sure if that was the best decision. I chose a practice that you have to be self employed, no benefits, except more money down the road. I applied for individual health insurance, and I was denied because of this surgery. I am so uspet. Not to mention my damn car insurance doubled from moving from Winter Haven to Tampa. I keep telling myself this will get better.
I have not excercised as often as I did the last 4 years. I know I need to make it my priority again and use it to help cope with stress in life. I used to love exercising, and even had a personal trainer in Winter Haven. I loved Gold's Gym in Winter Haven. I am not real crazy about the gym I joined here. The cardio is good but the equipment looks like it is from the 70's. I can't let that be my excuse for not going!
