Surgeon Testimonial

David Dyer, M.D.
Two years out from surgery and have maintained a 140 lbs weight loss -- Dr. Dyer was great to work with in this process. His diet plan and maintenance plan is strict but it works if you follow it. The support of the office and staff was wonderful too.

10 lbs to go!
on September 11, 2011 6:04 pm
I am extremely excited about only having 10 lbs to go till goal.  WOW!  It has been a good ride to say the least and I am hoping for an even better one going forward.  I finally love to have pictures taken of me and I know I need to get some body shots in but haven't been able to get to that point yet.  I have so much energy and today I took my 4 year old out for a walk --- we walked up the "big" hill in the neighborhood and I wasn't even winded.  That blew me away.  He was puffing and I didn't even have a problem.  Last spring it was the insurmountable hill and now it's easy peasy.  

I just found out this week that I am being sent to a training for work.  They actually video tape you while you do presentations and talking.  I am so glad that I am not who I was a year ago.  I don't think I could have handled seeing myself on video as big as I was.  It will be interesting to see myself now on video.  We'll see what it does to me and if it affects my head. 

I do have issues with what I see in mirror.  I notice that I am smaller but still the same shape in a sense.  It  surprises me to see my shadow.  I don't expect to see the curves of my waist and hips -- I still expect to see the pear.  Life is good -- I feel like I am alive again.  I took so much for granted when I was younger and "in shape".  Now I am relishing the moments -- I have read other blogs of folks who are where I am and the "men" moments of where you feel being checked out or "considered" are so unexpected.  All of that is interesting and difficult to process at times.  I can understand how people get off track and relationships change.  I am fortunate in that I still love being with hubby and he knows me fat or thin.  It also helps that I am discovering me for the first time.  I am difficult, temperamental, loving, giving, and hard to handle at times.  Hopefully we progress and make the most of our relationship. 

Sorry if this is a boring blog moment just introspective today and wanted to write what is going on in my head -- for me.  Good luck out there and keep losing!  God bless you -- HE is mighty and HE is with you in this journey. God has been there for me.  Peace! k
