@ A standstill :/
on January 27, 2012 11:22 pm
Now that the holidays are over, I'm in a rut. Over the Christmas holidays I gained 4 lbs. Which is actually good compared to the normal person. I'm working to get it off. I lost all 4 then gained 2 back. I still have 28 lbs to go. Due to my fiance going back to school, going to the gym has been a difficult thing to do. However, we are moving to a place where I can jog outside. Thank God!!! I think that would help me a lot.

It's great to see ppl i haven't seen in years. I look completely different. That's a good thing.

OH AAAANNDD....my hair is thickening back up. This makes me so so happy.

I hope everyone is doing well. GOD BLESS!!

10 yr HS reunion!!
on November 29, 2011 8:51 pm
So I had my 10 yr high school reunion the other night. We had a great time. Everyone said I looked so good. Me and 3 other girls had lost so much weight since high school. My outfit was awesome and my hair was great. I bought shampoo and conditioner called Mane and Tail. Absolutely love it.

Since my last post, I did find out what was happening with my dizziness and all. When I went to the doctor. My blood sugar was 73. So so so not good at all. He got all over me about my eating habits. Told me to get some sugar chews from walmart just in case it gets so low again. But since that's happened I've been doing really good. I've headed back to the gym after being out for 2 weeks. I'm feeling a whole lot better than before.

Thanksgiving was great even though I worked the entire day. No overeating and hardly any dessert. But wonderful food nonetheless.

Next is my boyfriends work Christmas party. Bought a new outfit. Have to say, IT'S AWESOME!!! Oh oh oh....had an experience I MUST share......

I shop at CATO store a lot. Now, if you know anything about CATO, most of the time when you walk in, the left is plus size and the right is regular/junior size. So i walk it and go to the left......habit. I'm looking and looking for something to wear to my reunion. I was getting frustrated. And it hit me......everything was to big on that side. I had to go to the other side. It was kind of nice. My size now is a 16 in pants and a L or XL shirt....from a size 22/24 pants and a 3x/2x shirt.

I'm pretty good right now. Hope everyone is wonderful. God Bless and Happy Holidays!!!

rough time :(
on October 25, 2011 9:55 pm
It's been a while. I've had a rough time. Yes I'm still losing. The scale is saying 188 as of my doc visit last week. Yes, a doc visit. I went for a cold and for dehydration. He gave me an antibiotic and told me to get musinex OTC. As for the dehydration, he's thinking I am anemic and B12 deficient. So....he prescribed me a B12 nasal spray and drew blood to test for anemia, which made me so sick (nausea, dizzy, it was horrible). Let me back up....I have been getting dizzy a lot for the past couple of months. Thinking is as not drinking enough fluids, I increased my fluid intake. I pee A LOT. But I still get dizzy. Especially going from a sitting to a standing position and when I stand for long periods of time. I'm also cold pretty much all the time. I just see it as losing 90 lbs of insulation....yeah I'm gonna be cold. My body's not use to being this weight. So I'm waiting for my follow up and in the mean time I am taking it easy. I don't jog as much as I use to. I do walk, but not as far. I kinda hate it. Gotta get myself better. My goal is for my next blog to be filled to the top with wonderful news.....but until then.....I'm relaxing.

God bless :)

My Story

I've never really been a light weight. I started gaining most of my weight in high school. I am at my hightest now at 278. I have done the dieting thing and did excellent there for a minute. Lost almost 60 lbs. But then gained it back plus 5. That was 3 years ago. So  here i am now. I have choosen to have bypass surgery. it was recommended by my neurologist for a condition i have called psuedotumor cerebri (building up of fluid around the brain, is causes pressure headaches, dizziness, and what bothers me the most is i can constantly hear a whooshing heart beat in my left ear 24/7. And in my case optic nerve swelling that can ultimately cause blindness). My neurologist and surgeon said that for some reason unlucky overweight women (yours truly) excess fluid builds up around the brain and losing weight is one of the key factors in fixing the problem. And yes, men do have this too. It is more common in women though. Which brings me to where i am today.

I work as a 911 dispatcher. I sit on my behind for 12 hour shifts. This does not help with my weight at all. But the good thing is that my job is paying for us to go to a gym for the next 6 months until our rec center is remodeled. So I'm just taking it one day at a time. Here I go on my weight loss journey :)
