7 Months
on February 18, 2008 9:40 pm
So today marks my seven month anniversary.  I can't believe that it has been this long.  I've lost to date 58 lbs and couldn't be happier.  I feel better than I have in a really long time, both physically and mentally.  I had my 3rd fill last Thursday and have just began to test the waters.  I am tight.  This is definately the tightest that I have been and I'm kind of afraid to eat very much for fear that it will get stuck.  I think this is definitely the motivation I need to get the next 58 lbs off.  I love my band!!

I have to get this off my chest because it has been bothering me for the past couple of days.  I was at work and one of the oncoming nurses told my preceptor that I reminded her of another nurse that works on my floor.  At once I new exactly who she was talking about.  She's really heavy and we look absolutely nothing alike.  She's really pretty, don't get me wrong, but she grouped us together just because we're both fat.  Just because we're fat doesn't mean we're sisters!!

I'm back

Well I'm back on OH.  After getting really upset one night and deleting my profile, I decided that I need OH in my life to help me to succeed at losing weight.  Losing weight is the most frustrating thing.  I was doing awesome.  I had lost about 45 lbs in the first three months and then I made a really bad decision and totally blew it.  I have gained and lost the same five or ten pounds over and over.  I have resorted back to old habits and have been cheating my band.  I guess that I didn't treat the underlying cause of my weight problem and all of my issues flared.  

The past month has been incredibly stressful.  I finally graduated from nursing school and have started my new job in the intensive care unit.  I have also started working towards my bachelors degree and decided to buy a house.  Oh yeah and took my state boards (I PASSED!!).  Needless to say I have not been the most pleasant person to be around.  I know that if I hadn't gotten the band I would gained a ton of weight, but I am really depressed at the fact that I'm not at the point where I want to be at.  

I'm getting a fill on Thursday with hopes that I will be able to get motivated and get on track.  I also am vowing to join a gym as soon as we move into our new house (we're signing on the 20th, I'm so freaking excited).  I have to get my butt moving in order to get my body back.  I hate to look through old photo albums and see how good I used to look.  The thing that really pisses me off is that I thought that I was fat when I weighed 145 lbs.  I would kill to be that thin again.  I also think that I am going to look into some therapy.  I have got to get over the emotional issues that are causing me to overeat.  I have purposefully left my band loose so that I can deal with all of the stress in my life.  I actually had an appointment to get a fill and didn't go because I didn't want to give up food.  What is wrong with me.  Sometimes I just feel so out of control.  

I don't know why I ended up overweight.  My whole family is thin.  It really sucks that I got the fat gene.  Especially when we get together and all they do is talk about the diet that they are on and how fat they are.  They are all sticks and in good shape.  I love my sisters (all three of them) don't get me wrong but if I have to listen to those skinny bitches talk about how fat they are I swear I will break something.  I have actually never even told them that I had the surgery.  I guess that I am ashamed in some way and can't do it.  I think they would judge me for being weak and letting myself go so much.  

I've had this overwhelming desire though lately to get healthly.  I don't know if it's because all of the girls I work with are really thin or if it's because I am constantly surrounded by death at work, but I truly think that I am ready.  I want to make this change and get my life back.  I only pray that I will have the strength and motivation to do it.  I need all the help I can get right now!
