NEED TO ADMIT WHAT HAPPEN
on June 24, 2010 7:40 am

ok bear with me with this this is extremely hard for me to share and very personal. please respect that fact that ive been keeping this in for a while and its killing me and tearing me up so any comments please think about that before you add. ok... before my rny i was a workaholic, partier happy person yes i said it i was HAPPY i had this spunk to me this sassyness and its gone....... im in love with my boyfriend but ironlically not happy and last noght finally realized why. my boyfriend works adn comes home does anythign and everything for me he can hell clean out my blender so i can make my shake in the morning hell cook on his days off do stuff so i dont have to just any little thing he can, but theres a wall around me i walk on egg shells around him and now i understand why. Now when i drink a lil to much i become a angry person and if hes with me i always assume someones trying to get with him or looking at him and i make him uncomfortable and i hate my self for that.... 3 of my past relationsships i got terribly hurt and am still scorned from. i was cheated on by 2 of them but one we parted ways and remained friends. well few months before surgary i went to a family gathering of of my ex and his family (close with his mom) and drinking just having fun well me and him felt a lil frisky and made out a lil no sex... later on that night i drank alot more (mind you i could deff drink alot then and be moderatly ok ) well two thgns i remember waking up to him and his best friend having me in a situation where they forced there oral on me, second his friend ontop of me and all i remember is SAYING NO................. Yes i was RAPED by my ex and his friend. i felt pressure on my hands ,legs and dont want to go into the rest. thats the day i stopped being me... and i hate every minute of it. do i blame myself .... yes i should of known better.... my bf says i shouldnt and im starting to believe him, im always down,dont feel as sexy as i used to.... i try and try to remember everything did i provoke it did i lead it on.... no what keeps running in my mind is we did dfferent thigs when we were together sexually i mean ( no im not a slut please dont get that image) did he think it was ok..... well it wasnt. since then i stopped associating with the entire family and it kills me ive been around him 1 tome since and felt so uncomfortable i left. his mother calls me and is upset and assumes that (becuase im skinny i changed and dont want to be around her ) god if she only new... i cant tell her ive considered it but i cant. so now a li iver a year later i guess they say thigs hit you and its unbareable well its hit me. its ruining me ruining my relationship and the person i was..  ... sorry im crying my eyes out right now this is so hard. So bottom line is this has taken some of the real me from me. im tires of jumping when my bf cell goes off, when hes not around worrying what hes doing i need to take a step back breath acknoladge what happen to me and try to deal with it and stop blaming myself for it. i want to feel pretty and sexy or worthless. i refuse to let this ruin me or my relationship. i am going to see someone for this i need to this isnt going on on its own. i am greatful however that when i do go out and drink now im cautious and refuse to let this overtake me. if that makes sense.. thank you for listeneing,

ONE YEAR SURGAVERSARY TO ME
on May 18, 2010 7:21 am

ABOVE PIC IS BEFORE SURGARY BELOW IS ONE YEAR POST OPP AND TRUE HAPPINESS



WHAT IVE LEARNED IS THAT TRUE HAPPINESS COMES IN A MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL STATE HOW HAS MY LFE HAS CHANGED I AM NO LONGER CONSIDERED A DIABETIC I AM OFF ALL MY HIGH BLOODPRESURE AND HIGH CHOLESTEROL MEDICATION I NO LONGER HAVE KIDNEY ISSUES. IM HAPPY AND EVEN THO I HAVE NOT REACHED MY GOAL WEIGHT IVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT ITS ONLY A NUMBER IM DOWN 111 POUNDS TOTAL AND FROM A 20 WAIST TO A 6/7 3 OR 4X TOP TO A L AND XL. IVE BEEN EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL THE PAST FEW WEEKS AND I KNOW THAT IT IS NORMAL BUT ITS MADE ME REALLY THINK ABOUT WHATS INPORTANT IN MY LIFE WEITHER ITS A RELATIONSHIP OR A BILL. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT IM HEALTHY AND I SAID I WAS GOING TO DO THIS AND I DID. THERES NOT A DAY THAT I GO THRU THAT I DONT THINK OF MY MOTHER AND WISH MORE AND MORE THAT SHE COULD BE HERE BUT I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT SHE ALREADY IS. I LOOK AT LIFE AS A OPEN DOOR AND TO POSSABILITIES THAT NOW ALLOW ME TO DO. I STILL SEE MY SELF AS THAT FATE GIRL SOMETIMES BUT MOST OF THE TIME IM LEARNING THE NEW ME NOT IN A SENSE OF PHYSICALLY THATS OBVIOUS BUT IN A SENSE OF HEALTHIER AND WOW WHAT DO I WANNA DO NOW. WELL IM DETERMINED,FOCUSED,AND OVERALL JUS ME AND IM PERFECTICALLY OK WITH THAT ..
THANK YOU TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND SUPPORT HERE COULDNT OF DONE IT WITH OUT YOU.

HPPY 10 MONTH SURGAVERSARY TO ME
on March 18, 2010 10:57 am

My Photos | i am so innocent | Still Sexy Mamma
NEW YEARS 08 | OK CANT HANDLE THIS | Still Sexy Mamma
Hey everyone well few things i was very emotional and upset when i was going thru the above pictures a few reasons. I never really thought of myself as big or fat until i look back now and see myself now. im 10 month post opp today and am very happy and grateful for my spirit and health. I was crying when i was looking back at them its amazing how much i can see a difference now then before. Between crosaing my legs,drivers seat so close up, no more diabetic medication more energy and overall happier. Thank god im healthy and trying to do better in every way. Loosing my mom in 2007 was the hardest thing ever and now by doing for me for the first tine in my life i can honestly say im proud of myself.
