Hey Team!

Been a while since I have had the chance to update...I hope everyone is doing well in their journey. As for me...everything has been a roller coaster. I go through emotional/mood escapades these dayz. Don't get me wrong I am feeling fantastic and love the success of my surgery, but sometimes I question whether or not I am too skinny now. I think my brain is still so used to seeing that old overweight Cari that it's having a hard time letting me get used to the "new" Cari. I get pissed sometimes b/c of my arm skin...but everywhere else I am pretty at ease with. I am finding it difficult to eat more food...because my mind thinks I need to eat more food to start gaining some of my weight back becuz I feel like I am getting too skinny, but as much as I try I just cannot seem to EAT more! Never in life did I think that I would be telling myself to "Eat More"?...haha...crazy...Then...maybe its just the people who knew me before who find it so strange that I am skinny...I wonder if people who have never met me think that I am too skinny? Or do I look normal?...I dunno...but I was told I would go thru some of these mental obstacles too. Well, I am still very pleased with my surgery results and my health overall. 

 Hey OH! Just wanted to come through again. Everything is sooo great. I am so blessed. One thing tho...the Doc said to start getting in 110 grams of protein per day...I am trippin because 65 grams is hard enough. So, that will be hard....but I am up for any challenge. Still studying for this LSAT on September 26th. I am expanding my options for places to go for law school now. I was content on staying in Dallas and staying close to home, however now I am starting to look into expanding my horizon. So I am thinking maybe Howard in DC...or even L.A. maybe...Berkeley has a good program or UCLA....not sure...its probably going to wind down to who's offering the most mula if you know what I mean. Undergrad loans are already high enough. Anyways...still haven't found that special someone in my life yet...but I am staying positive about that...I am sure he will come when its time. God knows whats/who's in store for me. Alrighty...keep it gangsta! Haha...jk. 

 HEY OH! Sorry...it has been toooo long. I am doing completely amazing. Just returned from Disney World yesterday. Back to work tomorrow. I just wanted to stop by and see how all of my OH friends are doing. I see most are doing gr8. Here is my before and after (or shall I say after/before). I went to the doctor a week ago and as he flipped through my chart I did not even recognize who it was in the photograph. I am extremely blessed and I thank God everyday for what he has done for me. Ok, well everyone keep safe and beautiful.

 Hi!!!

Just wanted to give an update as to my progress so far. I am doing really well. I feel great!!! I am just considering myself really blessed at this point. Today I am at a weight of 214 pounds...I almost wanted to take a picture of the scale because this is so freakin amazing!!! I have graduation to go to on Saturday so I know when everyone see's me this will be a shocker. But I have been pretty comfortable telling people these days. I am 14 lbs away from the 100's...I told my family I plan on having a small party when this happens. I do not even remember the last time I was under 200 lbs...man...this is crazy!!! So since surgery on December 30th (286lbs)...I am down 72 lbs in 5 months!!! Im gunna keep on truckin'!!! :-)
