Just an update....

Mar 28, 2010

It's been months since I've blogged on here. How time flies when you're having fun! ;)

March 24th was my one year mark. I can't believe it's been a year already. I am 20lbs away from my surgeons goal. Speaking of surgeons, mine moved away. :( But the one I am working with now is great, so I'm not too saddened.

Things have definitely gotten easier. I still have cravings for things at times, but I'm an easily distracted person, so I tend to move on and forget about them. I'm keeping up with my exercising and have been having fun doing other things - we didn't make it skiing this year, either because we were busy doing something else or my husband wasn't impressed with the amount of snow we had. Oh well, that saves me from breaking an arm, or a leg, or everything....I am really looking forward to this summer though.

The only thing I am dealing with right now that I don't like is all of the extra skin I have. I was hoping that keeping up with my exercising and weight lifting and all that would help make that minimal, but it didn't. It is kind of gross seeing all that extra skin hanging off of my arms and around my stomach, so I am looking forward to getting rid of that. That is something I will have to look into, but it's not that big of a rush. Though it's a pain in the butt, I'll deal with it.

The last couple of months I've gotten to see family I hadn't seen in years (at a funeral unfortunately) and some friends that I hadn't seen in a few months. I was getting a lot of compliments about how great I looked. I'm still adjusting to the whole getting stared at when out in public. I mean, I've never thought that highly of myself, so it's kind of hard to get used to. I try to ignore it, but sometimes that's hard to do. I tend to become a biatch about it - making some smart arse comment about having a staring problem or taking a picture. It never used to be in admiration (unless it was my husband of course!). At least I have the hubby there for me. Things have stayed strong in our relationship, so I'm thankful for that and for him being here for me through all of this. He's a great man and I am so blessed to be the one to call him mine.
