    I read your story again and it makes me feel right at home. I have the same worries as well. I have had stomach pains this week and couldn't help but worry if it was more than the flu. Especially since I don't have health insurance anymore. You look fantastic. I am so proud of you. People like you are what help me get into the the gym and drinking my protein on those not so good days!

    Your page is very motivativing.....It is rare that I find somebody close to my age and close to where I live on this page. For some odd reason, that makes your story more real to me, who ridiculous is that??? I just had lapband at the beginning of this month.....your pictures are real, and I appreciate that:) Congrats on your journey-

Wawa.

One man (gentleman) held the door for me...fine. I say thank you...we move on. 

Coming out....same man gets the door again...but this time the guy coming in wants to now get the other double door for me as well.

So I exit Wawa with two men opening the double doors as if I'm at some sort of 5 star hotel.  (Im thinner now...why didnt they do that when I was double this size and NEEDED both doors opened???)

Another guy even commented "well doesnt that make you feel special."

I politely laughed..hahaha.."yes!"

Then got in my car...said aloud "yeah...right"...let out a big yell and then cried.

Why does this bother me so much????? I think I know...but I dont know how to deal with it. I know that I was invisible for so long and now Im in the spot light...its a VERY difficult transition.

I want to figure out how to deal with it and get through without being so angry.

Therapy...5:45pm...Monday.

Another piece in the puzzle discovered!
on April 14, 2008 4:26 am
This morning I discovered yet another thing along the way......

YOU KNOW YOUR BODY BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE.

I was stressing out the past few months because I started back on the pill.
The day I went back on, my weight loss slowed significantly and my brain acted up majorly.  People said....wait it out.....give yourself time to adjust....dont blame the pill.....this is the time that the weight slows down....etc.

I took all of that advice, until I packed on 5 lbs in one week.  Needless to say, I stopped the pill.  I am feeling so much better mentally.....clearer head. And physically?! I've gone from 172 to 163 within the past 2 weeks.  ahh.

My point is this....take all the advice you can get, but only YOU know whats best for you.  Like my dad always says to me "Do what you want....you're gonna do what you want anyway"....haha.

This goes for eating, exercise and whatever else you encounter along the way.....

Listen to your body.....Listen to your mind....and good luck along the way.

Last night, for the first time, I ran a whole 3 miles outside without stopping!!!!!!

I've been training since the dead of winter and NEVER imagined I'd be able to do it.

WOW.
