Well.. this is week two.  I stepped on the scale and only lost 1.4 lbs!  At least I didnt gain.. just bugs me!  My only guess is that this past weekend I was mega stressed.  I had to do mid month paperwork and was told friday that I had to re-do all of last months paperwork.  ALL I did was sit and write and write and write.. for HOURS each day! UGGHHHH!  No real excercise, Did not journal my food either.. I did follow my moms "menu" that she likes to make for me.. but, without journaling... how do I not know that I ate too many extra calories for snacks?  I should be happy in one sense... I have lost a total of 9.4 lbs in two weeks!   That is almost 5 lbs a week!  Give or take.  Not bad considering that the average for non WLS person is 1-3 lbs.  Next week WILL be better! I have FAITH in myself! This is just a lil bump in the road.  Thats all.. right?

P.S  Tomorrow will be 6 weeks since my last cigg!  YAY!

It has been a week since I have started doing this on my own.  I am doing a 1400 calorie diet.. I am just getting under that each day. I never really feel deprived.  I am eating pretty good.. healthy, no sweets or junk food, getting almost 70 oz of water in.. which is amazing for me because I normally dont drink water.  I try to get in about 30 minutes of some kind of movement/excercise a day, free weights, I have one of those bike pedals as well as just walking in place, etc.  Just some kind of movement.  I weighed myself this morning... I lost 8 pounds!  That is 1 pound more than I lost my first week at weight watchers the end of '06.  I was shocked then for losing 7 lbs in one week!  I pray that I can keep this up! 
The 380's are gone Forever!

Well, I cancelled my surgery... There is absolutely no way to come up with 25 grand!  My mom and my sister are going to help me lose weight on my own.   I am scared to go on my own.. yet...I was able to quit smoking in some extremely stressful times... I have a lil more will power than I took myself for granted.  I know that God brought me this far, I have faith and trust in Him.  I will do this.. I HAVE TO!  I have the most beautiful 2 year old boy that needs his MOMMY!!!!! I plan to put money aside each month as if I was making a payment.. and possibly use it to get my panni removed.. or whatever.  I still plan to come on here and update how I am doing.  I love the support and awesome friends that I have made on here! 
God Bless..
Brenda
