Surgeon Testimonial

Mark Smolik
I was very impressed with Dr. Smolick. I found him very informative and not rushed. I was not so impressed with his punctuality. However I am 90% positive that he was dealing with some sort of complication that day. I was so nervous about talking to him that I forgot to write down questions and didnt ask him anything. So now I have no idea what a good goal weight would be or anything of that nature.rn

A Update!

Hello Everyone

I havent been around much lately. I wish that I could say its because I'm out working my ass out but I'm not. I'm working full time still, and going to school full time at night. I'm squeezing in being a wife and mom. I'm down to 210 pounds. That is pretty good I am told. Its a hundred pounds in eight months. To me it doesnt feel like enough. I am failing. I have said that since day one. Now a normal person would turn themselves around and quit failing.

I'm not normal. Some days I feel like the world is stacked against me. I hear myself say when do i have time to workout. Its an excuse. I should be working out. LIke I said before I am a grazer. I dont really dump, but then again i Dont eat enough of anything to dump. I am still addicted to carbs though. Thats pathetic. I dont take protein, I dont take vitamins and I sure dont take calcium or iron. Maybe thats why my foot still hurts. 

So looking back on the last 100 pounds. I am so happy that it is gone for good. I am going to keep it off! I might not be losing like I should but I am not going to regain it back. I wont eat if I'm not hungry. Thats a positive change. I wont eat greasy fatty food. Thats a positive change. I am looking forward to the next sixty pound coming off with some hard work at the gym. I hope that I can do that. I want to work out. I am going to work out. 

Thanks so much for the people who have emailed. Velda is such an inspiration to me because I feel like we are expirencing most of the same things. 

Right now it is crazy in my house and I wanted to steal a minute to update. I will be back tomorrow talk about some of the things I want to talk about :)


Amanda
