I really can't believe that today is my second anniversary/birthday (as i like to put it) since my surgery.  I am amazed on the journey I took (we all have taken).  I can honestly say I have never made a better decision in my life.  I thank God for his wisdom and guidence.  I thank my wonderful family and friends for their support and of course I thank my OH family.  Love you peeps

I just went to pick up my take out food from Fisherman's Feast in Shelby, NC

I ordered chicken and shrimp with little to no oil or butter.  It was swimming in butter.  I didn't blame the person who waited on me.  But I did call back to talk to the OWNER of the restaurant and told him of the situation.  HE Told me that I was making it difficult for HIM by.  I could not believe he had the audacity to tell me that.  I explained that if I had ate that I would get violently ill.  THe little s.............. was like so, you made it difficult for me.  So for those of you please don't let anyone do this to you.  It is our right to look out for ourselves and no I mean no other restaurant has ever treated me that way and they should not treat us in that way.  His explanation is that this was a seafood restaurant.

I'm sorry for the attitude but we all need to be able and say I can't do that anymore. 

Well I went to the doctor today.  I've lost 160.8 lbs so far and i'm in their range of a success.  I'm still wanting to be smaller in some areas.  I did get into a size 14 pants the other day and a size large shirt.  It was a wonderful feeling.  The drs nurse was even encouraging this time around.  That is about all i wanted to say.  lots of love to all

I'm happy as a lark today.  Even though this wasn't one of my immediate goals i still had to share.  Today is the official 150 lbs lost.  I'm so excited.  Bouncing up and down excited.  My nut gave me a weight range of where they would consider my surgery a sucess.  The weight range was 170 to 190.  Well I weigh 187 so I guess I'm successful.  Last week I was really thinking of putting my next goal at 180, will rethink on that some more.  And according to the bmi indicator I'm just overweight.  not obese or morbid obese.  Praise be.  My other new news is that I wore a skirt on Saturday that was a large.  OH MY.  I am currently in 16 or 18.  mainly stretchy 16s the 18s seem to be to big but some 16s are too small.  Go figure

well that's my news on the home front.  Thank you to all of my oh friends. Love you bunches

hi

i got impatient last week when i saw that i was within 2 pounds of being under 200.  So like the idiot that I am I weighed everyday until my scale read under 200.  It happened on Mothers day.  So I went and told my mom.  We tried on new clothes.  I'm in a 18 now and some not many stretch 16s.  I was happy and thrilled.  Monday, the normal day that I weigh in, well lets just say that it could have been the time of the month for me.  I gained 2 pounds.  I didn't eat 2 lbs worth so I'm guessing it was water weight. 


My mother being excited for me told her family.  oops.  But I weighed this morning and I am under 200 again.  Yes.  My treat for this is to join a tanning bed for a while at least and get some color back into me.  Yeah.  That means I've accomplished 2 goals.  Under 200 and to do things that I normally don't do. 

Just wanted my friends here to know.  Thank you all for the encouragement you have given me.
