It is so bad that I have not commented on the site for more than a year.
I have to start by saying that I am doing really good. I have not had any more complications since I moved away to CT. I think I did the right thing- moving away! I had alot of stress!! I felt like the move made me heal better.I have been in CT for almost a year now. I have not seen a bariatric dR. yet, but have followed up with my new primary DR. on the reg.
I just want to apologize for not giving you an update on me. I have noticed that most of us will probally do the same. Get so wrapped up in life and the weight loss that we forget about the ones who were here to support us thru it all. I must admit that I just got so tied up in the move and all, and trying to get together in a new city that I have neglected the site. I will try to post some before and after pictures for you all. Now that I know how.
Well I now weigh 136.5 pounds- I was a little disapointed that I lost more than 130 pounds. I was worried at first, but now I have been at a stand still for a while. I eat anything I want!! I can now eat way more than I could before. I have learned that the trick to eat in moderation, and eat little now then a little more of it later. I usually can bring part of my lunch home from work,and eat it for dinner. I eat snacks all day long. Sweets use to bother me,but now I just know what I can eat! I know that I cant eat a bunch of sugar at once basicly. When I look at how much I have lost I realize that it is the size of my 12 year old - who now weighs approx. 140. That is scary !!! I do not want her to feel the way I did.
Any way the one thing I love about CT is the ppppppppppppay!!!
I am making twice of what I made in NC. People talk about the cost of living here is high, but it is not that different when you are making more money. People can work at Walmart up here and make 11.45 hr to stock if you know what I mean. I now manage a group home here, a little different than Activities director in a skilled nuring unit. Who am I kidding alot different. I take care of autistic children ages 18-26. I love them to death. Well I think the hardest thing for me so far is seeing myself in the mirror. I like what I see , don't get me wrong but I just feel different when I look at myself. It takes a little getting use to ya know. I am now dealing with how people see me now. I know I should not care,but it means alot for me to know that people know that only my body has changed and not me!!! I have had to deal with my sister in-law and her sh-- but I know it's hating on me and my weight loss. Well that's it for now hope everyone is doing well and God bless you all. I promise to update you more often.
