My name is Deanna and I am over weight. Feels like I'm making an intro speech at an Over Eatters meeting.  Anyway, here goes. I have been over weight for most of my life. Make that every year from first grade on. The problem was, that every year the scale numbers incresed instead of decreased until it got to the point were my 300lb scale couldn't read my weight any longer. Instead of the heart braking, painfully high number that would normally flash on the screen I started receiving an ERROR message. I bought a couple new batteries thinking that it was low. When that didn't work I decided that the scale was broken. I shopped around for a new one and tried a few different models. And then it dawned on me. The ERROR message was not related to a faulty scale, but my faulty diet habbits and lack of physical activity. The ERROR message was because the scale did not go over 300lbs. Where I on the other hand had and I must have missed the ERROR message that should have been flashing on my fat ass. I knew I had to do something before my ERROR caused my children to lose their mom and my husband his wife.

I'm great and you?
on August 15, 2008 11:49 pm
I know, I know it has been forever since I have blogged, but this isn't easy remembering all the things I say I'm going to blog about and never get around to doing it. So let me think. Weight loss is going great. I have currently lost 92lbs and counting. I am happy to report that I have taken all the advice about modeling and accually done something with it. I sent in some photos to Torrid and I got a call back for a test shoot (photos posted on page). I haven't yet heard anything but even if I don't I've decided to actively pursue this avenue. I am now about 12lbs away from onederland and I can't get there soon enough.

NSV
on May 31, 2008 9:19 pm

I really need to start blogging more so I thought I would write a little something today. Well things have been going well and my WL has been steady. I leave next week on my cruise and I can't wait. I do however have a great NSV to report that I am very happy about. I have been going to a trainer maybe once or twice a week since March but most of my work outs are on my own being that the trainer is pricey. He always comments on how good he thinks I have done just in the few months he has known me. So I decided to show him my before picture and he was amazed. He was so impressed that he asked me to take a recent picture and give him a copy of the old and recent so that he can use me to motivate his clients. I haven't yet done it but i definently will. It is such an incredible feeling to know how far I have come and how hard I have worked and that someone accually would like to use me to help support others. YEAH ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Tight fill
on April 12, 2008 9:27 pm
So I went to my doctor on Thursday and got another slight fill. About .4cc. Which puts me @ 3.8cc in my 4cc band. This fill is pretty tight. I can get down fluids and I have had some beans but everything else just hasn't gone down. I am going on a family cruise in June and I am so excited, especially since my parents and grandmother have not seen me since May of last year. I need the tight fill in order to up my weight loss before the trip. Oh, did I mention that my husband is out of state working and has not seen me in a month and a half. He will be so surprised as well. I can't wait to see everyone and show them how hard I have worked. One problem though, has anyone else felt like their still wearing fat gogles? I can't see any change in me unless I look at pics from before and compare with the after. I know my cloths are smaller and the girl in the mirror is thinner but once I walk away from the mirror the fat girl gogles go back on and I can't see my progress. That SUCKS and I hope it will change.

Update
on April 8, 2008 3:31 am

So I haven't posted anything since surgery and I'm sure someone out there may be wondering.  I had surgery 12/21/07 and it went well. I had some pain but nothing extra ordinary. I returned to work in 3 days taking liquid tylenol for pain. Everything up until and including now, has gone very well. I have had 3 fills since surgery. The last one, as some of you may know was an over fill. I was soooooo tight I was vomiting foam. I went back to the doctor and got a slight unfill of .4cc and I could literally  feel the pressure relieve when he removed the fluid. Well it has been 3 weeks since that episode so I think I will go back in and get another slight fill. Weight loss: my weight loss has been consistant. To date I have lost  53lbs from my starting weight of 309 and I've never felt better.

pre-op diet
on December 9, 2007 7:57 am
 O.K. so today starts the first day of my pre-op liquid diet. I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired that I know this will go well. My husband has started the liquid diet in support of me as well as a few co-workers. And to think initially I didn't want to tell anyone at work and now they are a couple of my biggest supporters.

My Story

     My story is not unlike every other story on this site, but with different characters and scene locations. I'm just like everyone else here, over weight and not gonna take it anymore. I'm 29yrs old, 5'6 and have let myself reach an unbelievable 300lbs. If I hear someone tell me how pretty my face is one more time I may need to be institutionalized (hence my screen name). Don't get me wrong, everyone likes complements. But is that a really compliment? It may have been at one time or another, but now it's like a lingering thorn in my side. A constant reminder of how unpretty my body is. I've been offered plus size modeling jobs but I couldn't get over beening the plus (plus) size model in a field where a 10 is the starting point. Alright lets talk about surgery. So I've decided on the lap band procedure. I'm paying cash so the insurance has not been a factor (I KNOW IT'S A PAIN). My procedure is scheduled for Dec. 21 and I can't wait. I am so tired of the fat girl sitting on the skinny girl inside me. GET OFF SO SHE CAN BREATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
