Hey y'all - sorry to have been MIA for the last couple of weeks, but that's how it is...
Little update on ME:
The "new" job fell apart with salary and benefits negotiations, so I ended up turning it down in the end.  I just couldn't get myself into a job where the salary just wasn't there and frankly, was just a pittance.  Sometimes a job is worth it, but I couldn't see putting myself into a situation where I couldn't live on the salary.  It would have made a bad situation even worse, so I am back on the job hunt.  So THAT is my bad news.  I'm not thinking that I have any good news, so I'll just continue to muddle through.  Eating has become more of a problem, so I am going back on protein shakes today, with only one 'solid' meal per day.  Gotta start getting the weight (15lbs )I have regained off, so I'll be GAWGEOUS for the cruise in September. 

So, without further ado...
Here we go.. Jump on the HAG  Scrawny 2 , record those digitsWriting and let us know how you are doing...Losses or gains, all results welcome here.  Y'all have a great day!  I refuse to give up or give in! 


Highest weight: 252
Surgery weight: 238
Lowest weight: 141.4
Weight 3 weeks ago: 152.3
Today's Weight: 157.9 (OMG!!! I am SOOOOO unhappy with myself)
Weight Gain/Loss: 5.6lbs

My Story

I can hardly remember a time when I wasn't overweight, but I think that it was for a short time in 1981. I had lost 70 pounds and was thin for the first time in my life.  Over the last 25 years I have regained (and lost, and regained, and lost...well, you know) that 70 pounds, plus (as of last week) another 58, through yoyo dieting and unhealthy starvation.  I now have most of the comorbidities listed on my insurance and am so tired of taking pills.  So, there I was, miserable and unhappy until my new cardiologist says that he thinks that I need to consider bariatric surgery.  I finally was able to get set up with appointments to go to Houston for the seminar, meet the surgeon(s), have my dietary and psych eval for May 7 & 8th.  I have taken all my necessary information to them and they are sending everything to my insurance company for approval.  Since I understand that this can be a lengthy process, I am happy to get it rolling sooner rather than later.
