Quick Update
posted on 4/4/11 10:15 pm
Its been nearly four months since I last updated you guys. Oh how my head is spinning and my nerves are taking hold of lil ol' me.
SOooo, as you know I decided not to follow through with my surgery in  attempts to continue to lose the weight on my own.

LETS JUST SAY I KNOW WHEN IM BEAT!

I have jumped back on the horse and im not getting off until im in a hospital and the nurses are waking me up to tell me my surgery went well. I had gotten all the way down to 300.6(Only if you knew how bad I wanted the scale to say 299.9) then slowly but surely the weight started to pick up again, I guess you can say I began to get comfy and those little things that worked before for me no longer had any effect. I consume large amounts of water I tend to stay away from Rice unless its Sushi- I dont eat much pasta or bread however I find myself at 314.8 as I sit here.
SMMFH!
I can no longer fool myself into thinking this is a battle I can win alone. The only part that make me a little sad is knowing that my sister wont be here to weather this storm with me (Im in GA shes in NY) although I know she'll be a constant reminder of my own will.
I have a Consultation scheduled with Dr. Edward Lin @ Emory on the 27 of this month. Im nervous yet ready to get it over with. I'll be taking a friend of mine with me since the office requires you to have a support person with you. I'll let you know how it goes.
Pray for me. If you have any advice for me I'd love to hear/read it.
