Man Its been a long time.

So its been a 4 months since I posted a blog. I got on this site and now I feel guilty. Not like I have some cult following or something but still a slight twinge of guilt. I am down 116 lbs and have been stuck here for 2 months now. I am kinda worried about not losing any weight for a while now. I knew it was going to happen eventually but, I feel like a failure now just from lack of weightloss. I know logically this is normal. Your body cannot continue forever to lose an endless amount of weight or you would die. But I was at my peak weightloss at 8 months out. I have read somewhere that you are supposed to lose weight up to 18 months out. I really dont fit that category, I suppose this is why I am freaking out and not satisfied. I guess I want to look like Twiggy or something, lol. Is that too much to ask for really? HAHA joking totally. I hope everyone is well out there in loser land, or in my case done losing land.( I should just chill...---->)

January 6 months out!
on January 14, 2009 3:30 pm
I am currently hovering at 216 and a size 14 jeans. I am ok with all the numbers and sizes considering that the last time I was in a 14 I was probably in third grade. I have been trying my best to keep myself in high spirits. Some days I really wonder how much I have really changed. I mean the scale tells me but it just doesnt sink into my brain or something. I still feel the same. I know I told myself I am still the same person just less of me now. My mom says that my brain just hasnt caught up with my body. I am only 4lbs from my 100lb marker... how exciting!!!!! I am in a new relationship, 2 months now. I am completely crazy about him, we have so much fun together and he can make me laugh like no one else. I have quit smoking again for the 6th time. I really want to stick with it this time. So far 09 is looking pretty good. Next month is my 25th birthday. This last year has taken me on one crazy trip, I am excited to see where I end up. Well I will post again soon.

New Years is coming tomorrow!
on December 30, 2008 4:52 pm
Well I have finally lost some more weight. I think its because mom my was in the hospital for 12 days with pnumonia on top of her having multiple sclerosis, it was a baaad situation. She got to come home on Christmas eve thank the good Lord. She is doing much better, but during the 12 days of being at the hospital 10 hrs a day I ended up losing 10 lbs! It was pretty impossible to find the "right"  things to eat never being at home and all. Plus my nerves and the stress was taking a toll.  As far as the constipation goes metamucil worked wonders, it took a couple days. So the offical weightloss from my highest is 93lbs. I cant wait to hit the 100 lb. marker. I guess it will be next year sometime unless some miracle happens over night lol. I am going to the gym tomorrow to work off these cookies I have been eating... someone needs to smack me. Anyways Happy New Years to all my OH friends and thanks for all the support. See ya in 2009!!!!  I wish you all Peace, Love and Lots of weightloss in the New Year.

My Story

HI, My name is Jaime. I am 24 years old. I am scheduled for a roux-en-y gastric bypass on July 16th. I am very nervous and excited about it. Currently I am on summer break from nursing school. I am hoping the surgery recovery won't be too horrible. I am also hoping this surgery will end my hypertension??? I was diagnosed at age 18. I have pretty much been overweight since about age 14, even though I was very active in sports up into my high school years. I also love being outdoors and living the country life.  If you wanna get to know me, or if you have any questions go for it. I am a very outspoken, outgoing person. I am also on myspace at www.myspace.com/jaimehicks Feel free to contact me.
