3 Years Out!!!
on July 24, 2010 10:02 am
I am 3 years out today and I am soo happy that I made the choice to be banded it was one of thr best things I could have done for myself.  Let see im in a size 12 pant medium top and 8.5 shoe (which by the way are ALWAY heels LOL) and to date I have lost 113 pounds.  And even though I am not at goal I am soo very happy.  I'll get to goal someday but for now I am really enjoying the ride down the scale.  I never thought lose weight would change some much of my life and who I am.  My cousin said to me the other day your not "Fat Tonya" anymore your a new person.  And I guess I am a new person now!!!Being Banded was one of the best things that God has Blessed me with!!!!

Things have been going really good over the lat ccouple months the weight has been coming off very well and I will be at my goal weight by the end of the year which is exciting.  I him one of my mini goals which was to buy and wear something from the Bebe store and the I did just that for my birthday.  I brought a little black sexy Bebe dress and rock it with some super hott heels.  YAY Me!!!  But today I got a big blow to the gut per say.  I have had a crush on this guy for a year now and we have been spending a lot of time together in a group setting not one on one we joined a gym with another friend and today he asked our other friend a how much he paid for his wedding!!!! He thinking about getting married soon that was a huge blow to me.  I like him and I know he has a girlfirend but I didn't think they were that serious.  I hope the shock wasn't to clear on my face but I am a bit bummed but Im happy for him I guess???

Learning
on February 5, 2010 11:56 am

Last week my church did a fast which is something that I have never been able to do not even to get my band.  I cheated during that also.  I have had such a hard time with cheating I just thought that going a day without cheating was just something that I couldn't do.  But I learned alot about myself over the last week not only was i able to the fast I only ate once a day and didnt cheat not once.  I learned that my eating is all in my head and I can control it! WOW LOL........

I had a bad day.  i just dont seem to get or understand men and I pray that on day I will but right now I so totally lost.  I was in a long term relationship for 10 years off and on. We had been off since January and I decided that I have had enough so I called it quites for good.  I am looking for someone else my prince charming but all I keep seeing are frogs.  But I got down today and thought that it might be me.  It took me a min to realize that I can only be who I am take or leave it.  And one day I will meet a man who really loves me and want me for the person that I am.

My Story

I am 28 years and I have pretty much been overweight my whole life.  I have never been married and I also have no children.   I decied to have the Lap-Band surgery in January 2007.  I have been told by doctors that I am a very healthy person despite my weight, but I fear that if I continued to carry this much weight I wouldn't be so lucky for much longer.
