Wow!  Time has flown.  And I a very guilty of not updating. So I'm not sure if any of the people who I kept in contact with are even on the site anymore. But if you are, then hey!!!!

My last entry was November 2010.  Since then, a lot has happened. A LOT.  I found t in January 2011 that I was pregnant.  It was a huge surprise!  Especially being that I was told I couldn't have kids.   But it turns out, birth control pills do not have any effect when you have a tiny stomach that doesn't absorb anything!  I gave birth to my amazing daughter, Charlotte Adventure in August of 2011.

Now with pregnancy, there came some major fluctuations.  I think my lowest before pregnancy was 210,  during pregnancy I got up to 250, and after I got back down to 230.  Pretty good. But now I'm having a problem, and I fear that it has been too long to reach out to my surgeon and ask for his help.  So I'm hoping I can do it on my own again.

My weight has risen, and is fluctuating something fierce.  I range from 275-295 I. The past two months, the funny thing is that because my pain management doctors have me on better meds, and a better treatment plan, I exercise MORE!  I'm still watchful with what I eat, not as watchful as I should be, but still. And yet, the weight is still coming on.  I keep telling myself, as long as I don't hit over 300 pounds again, I will be oil. I'm tall,  my body is dense, I've always carried weight well distributed over my body.  So even though I'm wearing a 16-18, throughout this weight fluctuations, I'm still nervous.  I'm not sure what to do, and why my weight is going bonkers.

Well, I kind of do know.  About two months ago,  my pain management doctors found a lump on my thyroid when they did the MRI for my neck, in regards to the pain,  I had blood work done, but since it returned relatively normal, it wasn't a priority for an ultrasound.  But I am scheduled for one in may.  My doctor says that this could be the reason why my weight is such as it is.  How after three years of consistency, it just went up.  Either way, I'm scared.

I'm still smaller than what I was, and that makes me happy.  If you check out the pictures I just posted, I'm even baring my belly,as I belly dance now!!!! So there is a part of me that says I shouldn't even look at the scale. But I can't help it.

So I'm hoping that by letting this all out, and keeping everything updated, I can start to lose weight again, with help and support.
