I am a wife,mother,sister,daughter and the worst part is fat ! My husband is in the military and has been for 17 years. We have been through long deployments and the latest was a too long of period in Iraq. I have 3 beautiful children and a family that loves me more then anything. I have struggled with this weight for too long and before I die I want to be healthy and thinner. I am alway active so being a couch potatoe is not my downfall it is my love of food and the lack of self control. I have made up my mind that I want a change and this is the beginning to that step of a new life. I am a freelance photographer with my own website plus I work 2 other jobs so lazy I am not...lol! I will keep on here and keep track of my progress. If you would like to look at my work , visit my site www.godscountryphotography.com

My daily journey


3 Months today plus it's my Birthday !!

I have been so bad that I have not been on here more. My husband got deployed and with him gone, I have had no time at all. Today is my 3 month surgery anniversary plus added bonus it's my birthday. I have have a little bit of a hard time battling constant UTI;s (urinary tract infections) and had to be referred to a Urologist. I had a CT this week and have to have a scope of my bladder monday. With all of that I have not been eating hardly anything and working hard on getting all my protein in. Since my surgery 3 months ago I have lost a total of 82 pounds !! That is just insane to me and I am at a weight now I have not been at in so very long. All my co-workers tell me that i am vanishing before thier eyes,and it is true. I know I should not be losing this fast but I feel good just tired a little bit more. The new pics I have posted were taken for my love who is deployed so they are very cheese cake..hahaha! I still the fat girl looking back at me in the mirror but hope that will change in the future. I still want to lose 30 more pounds, but it will come and the exercising I am doing will help. I was asked the other day if I would do it all again and the answer is YES,YES,YES !!

One month on the losers bench!

I am one month out and went to see Dr. Oh today to have my check up. I have lost a total of 33 lbs since surgery and that was so awesome to hear. If i wanted to lost 33 lbs before surgery i would have had to cut off a limb. My clothes are started to get loose and that is a great feeling. I have wanted to be thinner for so long and now my time is here. I have had only one thing that i regret about having this surgery, that is being able to drink fluids like before. I am prone to getting kidney/bladder infections, so before the surgery I was always drinking and had large amount of fluids. Now since the surgery i have had a UTI and then it moved into kidney infection. My hubby has given me about 4 IV'S in the past 2 weeks...he is so good to me. Well things are only going to get better and I am only going to get stronger!!!!
