Motivation

I'm still not sure who that person was or who I am now, but this is what keeps me motivated

Who Are We?
on November 11, 2011 10:47 am
My 9 month anniversary is creeping up on Monday. It seems anymore that time is going so fast. Before I know it, its going to be February and I'll be going to my one year check up with my surgeon. Life has been nothing but a whirlwind since surgery. I've experience so much in such a short amount of time and I never thought I'd make it through it all. I've had my share of ups and downs and I've made it through them all! I am FINALLY starting to figure out who I really am. I was scared for a short amount of time that I would never really figure out who I was suppose to be. I was worried too much about what other people wanted me to be. I had to do some real soul searching to figure out who it was that I wanted to be. I still have a long road ahead to me but I have learned that who I was when I was "fat" is not who I really wanted to be inside or outside. It was who I was only because that's the situation I was in and was afraid to be the real me because of my appearance on the outside. Finally what I feel on the inside is showing on the outside. I'm happy to say that I am quite pleased on the progress I have made.

On another note I am also pleased on my weight loss. Its amazing that I am down 138 pounds so far and I have only 102 left to go. I went and purchased a pair of jeans a few weekends ago and I am in a size 20!!! I couldn't believe it. I can't even remember that last time I wore that size. I remember last year at this time I was in a size 30/32. Something else I am doing is running 2 miles a day and last year I was struggling just to walk a mile. I have a goal of running in a half marathon next summer. I believe I will be ready by then and can't wait to accomplish that huge milestone!!!  I love keeping track of all these before and after moments. These are the things that keep me going! I can't wait to see else the future holds for me!!!

Where has the time gone?
on September 26, 2011 10:40 am
It just seems like yesterday I had my RNY, but here its been 7 months for me and I can hardly believe the progress I've made and the weight I've lost. As of today I am down 126 pounds. Its unbelievable to look at old pictures of myself and believe that person was me, but its also hard to look in the mirror and recognize the new me. I know I still have 116 pounds to lose and I will look even more different, but I can hardly wrap my head around what I look like now. I've been on several roller coasters throughout the last 7 months but everyone of them have been worth it today.  I am so proud of what I have accomplished thus far. I never knew I had the strength in me. I have my great family and friends to thank for the great support. 

On another note I've become interested in a man who also had RNY about 3-4 weeks after I did.  He actually lives across the street from me.  We have spent time together and he is great. It nice to sit down and talk to someone who has experienced the same things as you.  Another thing that is awesome is that we have the doctor. We are going out again this Wednesday. I'm starting to get nervous that things are too good to be true, but I'm trying not to get worked up over it all and just let things happen. But for the time being its all great. I hope it all continues.

My big 4 Months Post-Op Celebration
on June 14, 2011 4:43 am
Today is exactly 4 months since I had my RNY. I have officially lost 100 lbs. today!!! I am so excited and in complete disbelief about it. I never thought I would look or feel the way I do.  I have reached by first goal by losing the 100 lbs., but I gave myself until the end of 2011.  I still have 140 pounds to lose. Its time to move on and to my next goal of losing another 100.  Its by far not the easiest thing I have done, but it has made me into the new person I am today and has improved my outlook on life and my health. I just needed to share my success because I am quite excited about it.
