Good job to myself
on May 11, 2012 3:07 am
I went to my nutritionist yesterday and she asked me a very perplexing question. One that I
hadn't really given much tough to. I didn't realize that I need to. I didn't think it was important.
It makes sense. I tell my children when they do good in school or at home. I tell my husband he
is a good provider. I even tell my mother-in-law she raised a good man. I thank the check out person
at the store and tip my waitress when they do a good job. So why can't I tell myself?
What is so hard about looking in the mirror and saying "hey! you are great!" Why is it that my little
so called accomplishments are not important enough to me to warrent a pat on the back? Why cant I
give myself an acknowledgment? So my nutritionist wants me to start. Even if its small. So here goes...

Good job this morning Dani, You did your Pilate's and got 20 ounces of water in before 6 am!! Way to go!

Ok that felt weird,

Dani

Calling today to schedual plastics
on May 1, 2012 2:40 am
Yeah I have finally decided on a surgeon for my TT with abdominal tightening and
Arm lift. And the winner is....
Dr. M. Kayser of Image by design in Roseville Mi.

He is awesome. Got all my jokes, made me feel very comfortable not only with the
surgery but with myself also. His staff were real women and they were just wonderful
to me and my husband.

So that was yesterday for the consult and today I am calling to set the DATE! I am
excited.

getting out of bed
on April 18, 2012 4:29 am
Every morning my alarm goes off at 4:45 am. Why? Well it's due to
the fact that I am crazy. Actually my 16 year old daughters bus
comes at 5:45am and I get to spend some time with her. Also
I have no excuse not to do my morning Pilate's routine. I am showing
my daughter that there is always time to exercise and I am making
a commitment to myself. And another benefit of my morning exercise is
it is already DONE for the day. I cant come up with any excuses not to
work out.

Anyone else a morning exersiser?

size 8
on April 16, 2011 7:26 pm
Went and bought a pair of Levi jeans today and in the dressing room realized I needed to get a different size. Only this time it was SMALLER! I got my what used to be a big butt, into a size 8 and they a comfortable. Really and truly nothing tasted as good as this feels. Me in a size 8 jean! I am so excited.

still feelin fat
on March 19, 2011 7:01 am
Well it has been six months since my surgery. I now weigh 167 pounds. I am told I look really thin. I have one woman who says I am anerexic (she is a different problem all toghether). Except that when I look at myself, and I mean when I look down to see if my pants are zipped, I see chubbs. But when I catch a look in a mirror I see thin. I know that this is very normal I just wish there was a happy medium. Some days I am happy with my new weight, some days I want to lose more and all this jiggling skin.

And I still am going places and looking to see if I am the heaviest person there. I need to make sure that I am not the fattest. I still feel like I am. So I will ask my family is that person bigger than me? I think I am driving them crazy. I know it's driving me crazy.

My Story

Like some of you I have been overwieght practically my whole life. 180lbs in high school size 18 clothes. My older sister on the other hand was 5/10 thin and the perfect size. Everyone said she should be a model. I hated that. Always made me feel like crap to hear that. My moms side of the family were all tall and thin. Not me. Short and round. I tried the sports, they werent for me. Yes I did have some issues growing up, my parents divorced, emotional abuse stuff like that, but who didnt. I got married young and gained 100 pouns with my first pregnancy. Never did lose that baby weight. I had a bad marriage, so do alot of people. Now I am in a great place. I am married to a wonderful man and I have two healthy teenagers. I have great inlaws and a family that loves me. Now it's time to release all this old ich on my body and get healthy myself. I dont want excuses to rule me anymore. On my journey to a healthy weight I want to learn to snow board, bellydance, I want to go to CedarPointe and ride the coasters, I want to play up North. I am planning on going down the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. The big 450 foot drop. (did that already want to do it again). I want to learn to ride a motorcycle and a horse. I want to go the the Renisance Festival in a costume and be able to walk around and enjoy. I want to walk into any store and find clothes that fit and look good! I also want to get a message and not be afraid the table will break. Well thats it...so far.

The New and Improved,
Dani
