Feeling down
on July 21, 2008 9:36 pm

I am feeling really down. I havent cried but the tears are there. I hope when I look at this post a month from now I would have the slightest idea why I am hurting so. I weigh 209. My goal is still 160. I will get there. 49 pounds to go. I am on this beet kick... Love them. I just need the pain to go away. I allow people to control how I feel. I am SO tired of that. I want God to ease the pain. I want to be happy again. This is one post I don't want to ever re read. This will only remind me of the pain. RIght now i need encouragement. Something I need to give to myself. Yet I just can't do it. I need to move on and continue focusing on me and my daughter and newphew and my mother. Well I hit a bumpy road in my life, and yet I know it is just a storm passing through. Things could be worse. I will be okay. I didnt get out of bed today just to eat a bite of this and that. Today will be a better day. I have faith that it will. I am just tired of the dissappointment.

I have not had much of an appetite...but I am not complaining
on July 14, 2008 7:54 am

I have been a bad girl... I have not had my vitamins. And I have not exercised in the gym for weeks. Now I do walk. I go to many outtings and I walk, and walk and walk. But I have a membership at a gym and I have not utilized it. I am down to 208. I can not wait to see 199.... I think I might just faint. I don't have much of an appetitie. I am only eating once a day. I know that is not good. It's terrible, and I am going to do better. I don't know why. ( Perhaps, because I dont have any food in my house...I need to go grocery shopping)LOL... However, if I go out to eat which I do often...I look at the menu and have the slightest idea of what I really want to eat. This is crazy I am hungry, but I dont have a taste for anything. Now that is weird. Starting BMI was 58 and now my BMI is 35.

BMI
on June 8, 2008 7:53 am

I started this journey with a BMI of 50. I am proud to say that my BMI is now in 37.2. I am so happy. I am finally less than a hundred pounds overweight. I can not wait until these last 50 something pounds are off for good. This has been an awesome month as far as weight loss. I am steppin on the scales and each time I am amazed. My stall for this month is definately over. My goal is to work my tool.Right now I am 217. I can not believe it I am in the teens...YIPPPPIEEE. I wonder what I am going to look like when I hit 199. I think I am going to cry for joy. I think I am going to look back on my blogs and just reflect.

Update

Well I think that I am losing inches. My once tight, yet cute 18 jeans are now a thing in the past. They are too big. Especially in the thigh and hip area. It is time for me to pass them on. I am down to a size 16 comfortably. I weigh 222. I am doing good and feeling good. One student at my school asked me if I was losing weight. That is another wow moment because kids rarely notice things regarding weight. They only know if you are big and skinny. My exercise regimen has slowed down. Begining Sunday I am going to start right back at it. I watch what I eat for the most part. The way I am living now is how I want to continue to eat and do for the rest of my life. I went to the bathroom at work, before entering it I paused and smiled. I just remembered how I would have to make several bathroom visits just to get rid of the wrong food. What a blessing. I am 71 pounds lighter and just feel good.

My Story

Ok My story. I live in Milwaukee WI all of my life. I would love to live ( i think)else where...Virginia, Texas...east coast or the south..... BUT I am surrounded by a great family. Well I did not start gaining weight until I was about 7 or 8 years old. My mother said I had surgery regarding my bladder, and from there I just started gaining weight. Through out highschool, I was probably 20-30 pounds heavier than everyone else. ( If only I would haved stopped there) LOL... After the birth of my daughter, I gained perhaps 40 pounds..I remember weighing 190 pounds. ( If only I would have stopped there...FOR REAL. From there I blossomed to my highest weight of 338 pounds. I thought seriously of having the surgery four years ago. My insurance told me no..I was dissapponted so I joined Weight Watchers... I was very successful with the program lost about 88 pounds...after a few years I gained 40 back, and then decided to have the surgery again. Aetna kept telling me no..but I was very PERSISTANT. I did not give up. I finally had the surgey December 19, 2007. For the most part I am happy with my decision. I have had good days and bad days. Bad days are when I can not keep my food down. Especially when I am out socializing at a resturant. Or during my lunch hour. OR when I decide to have a sip of water after a meal....Thats a big no no..i am learning the hard way.However, I am learning slowly what works and what doesnt....Thanks for stopping by.
