It has been a long time...

Jun 28, 2011

I know it has been a long time since I have posted, but a lot has gone on in my life one very good and a lot very bad. Separation, divorce, bankruptcy, meeting the man of my dreams, death of my 22 year old cousin to colon cancer, death of my dad while we were all on a cruise together, my aunt is now suffering from brain cancer and my mom is having all kinds of health problems. So you see.... I have had lots on my mind, not to mention I am dealing with a lot of health issues of my own, as I suffer from Systemic Lupus and now Fibromyalgia. I had gained some weight through all of it as I am a big time stress eater, got myself up to 163 lbs, but finally I am back on the saddle and back on the road to my low weight of 135 lbs. I have lost 16 lbs so far in 7 weeks and intend to lose another 12 lbs before my trip to Punta Cana in September. I am now again recording all my food, weighing my food, measuring my food, weighing myself and keeping myself in check; it is the only way I know how to keep myself on the straight and narrow....it works for me. I have realized I have to stop using food for comfort, I have to stop using food as an excuse or I will end up where I started and I never want to go back there....ever!!!!  I will be a success story, this will be the one thing in my life that I can truly be proud of in my life, that I can truly say I was true success. I know there are a lot of people who had this surgery that gained all the weight back, I know some of them....I won't be one of those people. I was given a great gift and I will not waste that gift, I will not throw it away!!!!! I will be 135 lbs again and I will be a success!!!!! :)
