One Year Doc Appointment....
Mar 30, 2007
went fantastic!!!
Dr. Houston was really happy for me and kept telling me that I had done an excellent job losing weight. I asked if I should keep an "official" goal in mind. He said that it could be whatever I want it to be... that he wouldn't give me an exact number. My jaw hit the floor. At first he said 150 and I gave him the "are you out of your mind" look. He said that if I continued to do what I'm doing that I would easily lose 20-25 more pounds though. (easily??? yeah right! lol) Anyways, he said if I didn't lose another pound that he considered me a success. Again, my jaw hit the floor. That just really made my day, week, year, life! I have been morbidly obese all my life (I still am though.. just obese) and I am... just at a loss for words. From 366 to 196.....wow is all I can say. AND I'm not even officially a year out!! How crazy is that??!!
I asked about pregnancy... he said it would be ok to do so now if I wanted but advised waiting 3-6 months to be sure my weight stablilizes... so I am VERY excited to hear that. I'm going to give myself 3 months to lose 20lbs and then start lots of baby dancing
There is a recent picture of me in my profile - taken this past Saturday. I hardly recognize myself.

New Job!
Mar 23, 2007
Yayy!! No more commuting to Nashville, no more sitting in traffic, no more road rage... I've gotten what I've been wanting. A job in Springfield. I'll be a CSR (customer service) at a local bank. The pay is about the same, I'll be saving money on gas and wear and tear on my pretty new car. Plus, I will have more opportunities for raises and I will act as a floater so I will be able to learn more than just my position. I'll miss the park, but it is time for me to move on. Plus, I will still have my state holidays off and two more hours of daylight in the evenings. Also, this means I have to wear nice, professional looking clothes...which I don't have! So....another shopping trip for me!
The scale is sitting at 197 while naked. The elusive onderland has been achieved. It was first noted by my gyno on March 14th... I haven't lost a pound since! I've gotten a lot more comments on how small I am.. me.. small?? Sounds like a contradiction to me! Because of the new job, I had to change my one year appointment. I didn't feel right taking off a half of day during my first week. So my one year appointment is now March 29th. Two weeks before my actual one year mark..which is okay with me because I haven't seen my surgeon since December 7th for my post gallbladder checkup.

Teases and Taunts....

from the bathroom scale
My ultimate weight loss goal.... to weigh less than 200lbs. Onderland. The scale has been teasing and taunting me with this for a couple of days now...the needle idly sitting on the 200 mark....UGH. I'll get there though!!

TGIF
Mar 09, 2007
Well, it is finally Friday! The weather is gorgeous which I'm absolutely lovin' but by golly my booty hurts! I don't know what I've done this past week, but I can hardly stand up without flinching in pain. It has been like this for days! The weather has been so nice this past week that I've spent my lunch hour walking around the park and up to the capitol building TWICE...That is a little over two miles. Maybe it is all the steps up to the capitol building??? I should probably count them while on my walk today. At any rate, the scale finally moved for me a few days ago... down to 203-204 (I can't ever tell because I have a dial scale and the needle bounces a lot between the two) Just a few more pounds to onderland. My one year surgiversary March 8th appointment was rescheduled to April 12th which is my actual one year surgiversary. I think I had been stressing myself to reach the goal I wanted to be at my one year appointment (under 200)...which then was March 8th and would have put me actually a few days before my 11 month mark. So.... I was stressing about making my one year goal by 11 month surgiversary.... am I nut or what?? Sunday I will be taking my 11 month pictures and will post my "official" weight and measurements then. I doubt I'll see much of a difference in the photo...my clothes fit the same...maybe a tad bit looser. Well, I guess that is all for now. Until next time...skinny wishes to you all :-)
