give you up nor leave you without support,
I will not, in any degree leave you helpless
nor forsake you nor let you down.

Don't give up, and most of all--DON'T GIVE IN. the payoff is so worth it all.

MOSTLY MEMORIES on October 20, 2008 10:54 am
WELL I THOUGHT I BETTER DO SOMETHING!!
LET'S SEE, WHERE DO I BEGIN.
WELL LESS THAN A MO. TO GO, AND THEN I WILL
BE ONE YEAR OUT. AND LET ME TELL YOU, THIS HAS NOT BEEN AN EASY RIDE.. I AM SURE MOST OF YOU, IF TRUTH BE KNOWN, YOU WOULD AGREE.
BUT I DO KNOW, THAT I AM GLAD I MADE THIS DECESION FOR MYSELF.
I COULD NOT HAVE GOT THIS FAR, IF IT WERE NOT FOR ALL OF YOU. THE WORST PART FOR ME, IS WHEN I THINK I CAN TAKE THAT LAST BITE, AND MAN OH MAN, AFTER THAT I AM SAYING; WHY DID I DO THAT. MY POUCH STILL DOSEN'T WANT TO HOLD A WHOLE LOT OF ANYTHING. SO TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, THIS IS KINDA WHAT I LIKE;
COTTAGE CHEESE
YOGURT
SOUTH BEACH TURKEY SANDWICH ABOUT 1/2 IS ALL I CAN EAT.
CHICKEN BREAST (boneless) ABOUT 1/2 CUP.
VEGGIES
APPLESAUSE
POT PIES YOU PUT IN MICROWAVE!
BEAN SOUP
TUNA SALAD
MANDARIN ORANGES WITH COTTAGE CHEESE
WATERMELON
NUTRITION SHAKES
I HAVE THOUGHT I WAS A BIG GURL, AND WOULD GO OUT TO EAT, LIKE CHINESE, OR FAST FOOD,
*******WRONG******* don't try this at home!
SICK-SICK-SICK-SICK
I REALLY DON'T MISS THE FOOD, I STILL HAVE A HARD TIME SEEING MY WEIGHTLOSS. BUT I HAVE DROPPED 150 LBS. AND I AM STILL LOSING.
MY VERY DEAREST FWEND SANDY TELL'S ME WHEN SHE COMES TO SEE ME FROM OUT OF TOWN, ' YOUR GETTING SMALLER' AND IT MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD....OR SHE WILL TAKE A PICTURE, AND THEN I WILL SEE.
MY LIFE IS GOOD THESE DAY'S. I TRY TO STAY BUSY
AND BE ACTIVE.
FOR MY ATTIRE SIZES;
SHIRTS M-LARGE WAS 3-4X
PANTS-14 WAS 26-28
UNDIES 8-9 WAS 10-11
BRA 38 D WAS 50 DD
RING 9 WAS 10-11
WEIGHT 160 WAS 312
SELF-ESTEEM 100% WAS 0%
HEALTH 100% WAS 20%
LOOKS "HOT" WAS- VERY VERY BAD...
AND I HOPE YOU ALL ARE BEING HAPPY WITH YOUR NEW BODIES.. IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO GET USE TO, OR AT LEAST IT IS FOR ME.
I PRAY YOU ALL STAY SAFE, AND FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS, CAUSE I KNOW THAT THEY CAN COME TRUE!!!! LOVE ALL OF YOU.

My Story
remember the old saying:you are what you eat? well lets just say i am a pretty good-looking:chocolate chip cookie!!! no on a more
serious note, being the youngest of five, i grew up in a large framed body, no-not heavy, but stout. i have a large framed body. i use to wonder what it would be like to wear a size 5-8 shoe. but im stuck with a 10. i considered myself to be-cute-MANY MANY years ago. my beauty is within. over the years besides having 4 girls, and going up and down on the scales, i finally stopped growing at the good old age of 40!! i know my metabolism is SLOW, and thats ok too. i am on this journey to a HEALTHIER me. i have tried
all the *good-stuff* out there. and a few hundred dollars later, well im still the same. have you tried eating food that tastes like rubber? no- i have so much to look forward to, and i have a support system that is a completed circle. i couldnt ask for anything more. my husban martin, ( today is our 2 yr. anniversary ) is my best support. he gives me strength to on, even if i fell like i cant. he loves me, and i love him. my one wish I WILL make come true for him as well, is i told him when i lose the weight, i want to run and JUMP in his arms!!!! i cant wait. my girls are so excited for me, and how could i ask for more? Penrose-St. Francis Health Services are AWESOME PEOPLE!!! CSSA Colorado Springs Surgical Associates oh my gosh these people are a god sent. many have asked me am i scared? NO and YES i know that if i dont get this weight off, i will be in trouble, but as far as whom i have put my trust in--no. i would say to those who are seeking advise, or physicians, whatever for this procedure, stick with it. get all the information you can. talk-talk-talk. ask questions-get answers-dont give up. there is a rainbow waiting for you. this has been a trying journey for me and my husband. but my surgery date is scheduled for November 26th 2007, and my surgeon will be Dr. Ihor Fedorak. so less than two weeks away!!! i will keep you posted on everything.
