Inspiration after all these years

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 13:37:00 -0800

Well, if anyone is still around to find my blog....I'm ba-ack! I'm still down the scale but not as far down as I'd like. I'd like to lose another 25 pounds. Divorce sure brings back emotional eating and I did a little bit of it even ready to celebrate my ...

It's Almost Time for School Again

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 05:52:00 -0700

Well, if you're reading this, thanks for hanging with me! Life for me and Britt is so wonderful! I became divorced on February 1, 2010. YEAH!!! I didn't stay "single" long. I'm now living with the true love of my life. He moved to be with us in late ...

Some Updates

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 05:02:00 -0700

Here I am almost 30 months out. I'm still doing well in post-op life. I have, however, returned to some bad habits. I'm still less than my surgeon's goal but I feel like a big, fat pig some days. I'd like to lose 15 lbs to get back to my lowest. ...

Happy 2009!

Thu, 01 Jan 2009 16:28:00 -0800

I can't believe it's a new year already. This time two years ago I was in the process of researching and starting the pre-op process. In May I celebrate my 2nd surgiversary. Sometimes it seems like another lifetime when I wore 2X tops and size 26 jeans. Today I wear ...

OMG....I can't believe it!

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 05:00:00 -0800

When I started this journey in early November 2006 I was 265.8 pounds. That's my highest weight ever. I just celebrated my 18 month surgiversary on November 25th. It was a great day. I had a lot of time for reflection that day. Today is forever marked on my calendar. ...

18 Months Post-Op.....Some Reflections

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 11:08:00 -0800

Yesterday I celebrated my 18 month surgiversary. Today I got a shock with my lowest scale number ever....133.8. I never thought I'd stay below 140 let alone THIS far below. It's kind of surreal. If I see 132.9 on the scale I'll be exactly half my highest weight. That freaks ...

Such a Sad Day

Sat, 01 Nov 2008 20:23:00 -0700

Special people come in and out of our lives. Some are there for a moment and some a lifetime. Four years ago my great Uncle Clyde passed away. His wife, my great Aunt Thelma, didn't drive. After his death, I would take her once or twice a week for errands. ...

Halloween, Losing again and an ER visit

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 03:02:00 -0700

Halloween is my favorite time of the year. Sure, I LOVE decorating for Christmas, but Halloween rules! I had a battle online yesterday with a very religious friend. He sees it as a time to worship Satan. Okay, I realize that's the origins but oh how it's evolved. To me, ...

Depression....how deep does it get?

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 04:10:00 -0700

Well, I don't spend much time here at all anymore. I'm down to about 138. I'm having so many problems with my 25th high school reunion that I just don't know what else can bring me down further.

I ended up not going to the OH Philly event. "He" made sure ...

Depression and feeling invisible

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 07:09:00 -0700

Well, Monday was eventful. I was here in my office working when I heard a loud CRASH. Britt's bedroom is across the hallway from my office. I run in there and her hamper is smashed. I guess she was on her cordless phone, dancing or fooling around and crashed into ...
