I can't believe it's already June!  WOW!  I just passed 6months!!  And I'm down 80 lbs :)  I am so happy and so overwhelmed!  I can't believe I made it this far!  I am a completely different person.  I feel so much better and look so much better too.  I am so much more confident and back to my old positive, confident self!

I have been traveling for the past month and it was difficult to find foods that I could eat but I made it through and still lost!  With the weather warming up and all the beach hangouts filling up, I have been going out a lot more.  And loving it!  I can dance all night long again.  I haven't done that in years!!  And the attention from the men is crazy...I'm actually feeling good and bad about it.  When I was heavier I NEVER got hit on, let alone looked at.  Now, it happens all the time.  It's weird...the other night I got very emotional about it all.  I actually cried when I got home b/c I used to be so depressed about how I looked and now I love it.  And the attention makes me sad sometimes too!  Not sure why...I guess I am just not used to it! 

This whole process has been very emotional for me.  I am so happy I did this and so grateful of the outcome.  It is definitely the best decision I have ever made in my life.  The journey is not over yet....I still have about 45 pounds to go.  Wish me luck!!

Well it is coming up on 4 months and I am down 65 pounds! I couldn't be happier.  I am seriously a different person on the inside and out.  This weightloss has changed so many things about me.  The physical changes are dramatic and I am beginning to feel like the me that I was missing and searching for all these years.  I can see my pretty little face again and don't feel like I'm looking at a monster when I look in the mirror anymore.  I still have a long way to go but I am a NEW WOMAN already!
Beside the physical changes, I am emotionally a new person too!  I'm happier, more optimistic and just a better person in general.  Someone asked me if I missed drinking, that was a usual thing for us to do together, and I said NO WAY.  I don't need alcohol the way I thought I did before.  I was drinking to reach a certain level of happiness...to numb the insecurity and give me that fleeting feeling that all my worries were far away.  Now, being completely sober and eating so much healthier, I have those wonderful "highs" all on my own!  My head is clearer and I am happy and proud to be me!!  GOD BLESS DR. JB and HIS TEAM!!

I am sooooooooo happy :)  I'm down 51 lbs and I just bought jeans from one of the trendy stores instead of going to the plus size section.  This is the best feeling ever :)  Or at least since I shopped the before I got heavy :)

This shopping is going to be addictive.  Time to get a 2nd and 3rd job!!!

First I would like to thank all of you who kept me in your prayers and thoughts over the past month.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday! 

Second, I would like to let everyone know that I am doing very well!!  I am down 32 pounds~ I can't even believe it.  I feel like a new person completely!!  Thank you GOD!!!

I had a rough ride there for a while....with my broken wrist and all.  I had to have surgery 8 days after my RNY.  I got 9 screws and a metal plate in my wrist.  But my momma took such good care of me i am feeling 100% better!

So...thank you all and all my best to you for a phenomenal 2008!!

Well tomorrow is the big day!  I'm still excited but nervous.  One thing to add to this is that I broke my wrist Wednesday night!!  So I'm all wrapped up in a soft cast.  Tons of pain!!  I broke it in  2 places.  When I do something I do it well!!  I called Kathryn at Dr. JB's office and he said the surgery is still on.  My cast will not get in the way!

Thank you  all for your support, well wishes and prayers.  I will update my page when I am feeling up to it.  Be well and make room for me on the losers bench!!!  xo
