Adjustment to Goal Weight
on September 10, 2008 6:52 am
So I have been thinking lately about my goal weight and what it should be.  I think originally I may have had some unrealistic expectations and now have adjusted my goal weight to 125.  I dont think I would have gotten to my original goal weight before plastics, and I am still not to sure that I want all plastics done.  With that being said I am halfway to my goal and that is an amazing thing.  When I first started out, I didnt think I would see the light at the end of the tunnel but now it is so much clearer and in sight.  To all the newbies and people just getting started, you can do this.  I am living in a dream world right now and I dont think I want to wake up.

I am proud to report today that I am just OBESE.  I am so happy right now and coming from someone who was first SMO then MO, Obese is just wonderful.  I look forward to years to come because it can only get better from here.  I thank everyone on OH to my continued success.  I have learned so much from people here and am thankful everyday for my RNY surgery.

ONDERLAND!!!!
on August 31, 2008 4:54 am

I DID IT!!!! I DID IT!!!!!!  Wonderland feels good and Ilike it here and am proud to say that I am here to stay.  Im glad I made my deadline to be in Onderland by Memorial Day.  I am so grateful for this surgery each and every day, it seems like there is a little more I can do each day.  I have noticed a pattern with my weight loss.  I tend to lose more the last week of the month than I do the whole month, I dont understand why but I noticed the trend a couple of months ago.  I really don't care how it comes off though just as long as it does.  Gosh my heart is just so overjoyed right now and Im in tears as I am typing this because I feel as if I finally have arrived, it has been so long since I have seen a 1 in front of my weight.  Thanks for reading my blog.

WOW moment
on June 30, 2008 3:14 pm
Well yesterday I went shopping for a few things as my clothes will be falling to the floor soon.  I was able to pick up some 18's and  I was so happy about that coming from a size 24.  I also bought a bathing suit in an 18 and it is a Tankini and is sooo cute.  Im going to the beach end of July and will have to take lots of pics.  I am so excited about the new clothes and smaller sizes....

2 months out of surgery
on June 16, 2008 8:10 am
Well I am currently 2 months out of surgery and feeling pretty good at this time.  I have had a couple of wow's such as crossing my legs and cleaning my house top to bottom without getting winded nor sitting taking a rest in between floors.  This is a big deal for me as before I would have had to take a break in between time but I did it this time without thinking.  I am extremely proud of myself and everything I have accomplished so far and only know that this journey will get better as the days go on.  I am pressing on towards Onderland and am hoping to make it there by July 24th as I am taking a beach trip then and want a fly bathing suit to take with me.  Anyway that is my update for now. I hope everyone is enjoying their journey and God Bless.

My Story

Well where do I start???? My name is Rahsheeda Turnbull and I am a single mother of 3 beatiful children, ages 5 1/2, 4, and 14 months old.  I have been overweight all of my life and have within the last 10 years or so have been obese.  I am currently in the stages of gathering all of the paper trails for the surgeon so I am really hoping to have this surgery by the end of the year so please be in prayer for me and my family on this.  I am so needing this surgery with having tried diets and excercise but because of co morbities I am not able to excercise like I want too... My children are also suffering in this as I am not able to do the things I would like to do with them due to my weight.  It is time for a change and I am starting that change now for a better quality of LIFE for myself as well as my children. I want to be the best MOTHER I can be and this is going to enable me to do that. If you have any questions feel free to message me on here or you can email me at Rahsheeda80@hotmail.com
