My name is Sharon and am tired of carrying all this weight around.  I am facing a demon that has been with me since age 11.  I am on the journey to have WLS hopefully in the first part of 2008.  

I am 56 years old and desire to wear other things that was I can only fit in that is left on the rack, that looks like "an old lady."  I use to not be able to afford new clothes, but when I did it was slim pickins.

I have found today, still alot of my choices look "yuck."  I want to be in a size clothing that I have choices, can wear stuff I have never worn, like a belt, like a sexy outfit and not feel like a "cow."

Well, I have been taken off 3 medications.  My cholesteral was 111.  My weight as of today is 223.  I am wearing a size 14 top and 16 bottom.

Boy talking about going into never, never land.  I was asked the other day:  When was the last time I wore a size 14....don't recall. 

8 more weeks and I complete graduate school, BOY AM I READY.

A WOW MOMENT.  I purchased a pair of DESIGNER JEANS by Michael Kras (SP)    that were regularly $119 for $20 and actually got into them last week.   My kids are proud mom is wearing designer clothes.  LOLOLOL

Dr Weaver was the one who told me who he was....cause I just knew he had to be somebody to want me to pay $119 for the jeans.  They have leather filligree back pockets...and are white.   So you know I have to be careful where I sit.  That is a tall order for someone who is use to just being able to sit....if the seat fit. LOLOLOL

Miss ya'll but life is really hectic because of school and other stuff.  Hopefully will settle down after Dec 4.

finally the scale is moving

Two days ago I was down to 230,

However, we have had a lot of loss in the last couple of weeks, so I have been stressed.

My father in law died last Thursday and we buried him on Labor Day.

My son's employee died 2 weeks ago, my husband's uncle the next day, and my son'[s grandmother 2 days later.

4 deaths in 14 days is enough.

Plus I am back in school, working on my last semester.

Please pray for me to have the strength to endure the next few months.

Have hit the magic # of 70 lbs gone.  Seems such a big number.  Like a small child's weight.  A little overwhelming as my head still has not caught up with what my eyes see.  I am having a lot of compliments from people that haven't seen me in a couple of years.  That does feel really good.  Venturing in to those kinds of items I always wished I could wear...like boots, like those nice looking lingere.
