Well I made it. October 15th was my the marking of one year ago that my brother left us. I went through the week in a fog. Now that it has been a year I have learned to cope and to look ahead to what is to come. Sometimes it is so hard to be happy for all the great things in my life when one perfect thing is gone. Nevertheless I have things to do, mommy tasks to accomplish so I will continue as planned. My weight is great. If anything I should probably gain some.(I know shutup.) I know the winter brings laziness and glutony with the holidays so I am not so worried. Take care everyone.

Well another month down the tubes!! Not too much to report. Just kinda doing the kids out of school, lost my sanity bit right now. Scale weight the same. We went to Vegas last month and this month we will probably hit Pismo for a few days(hubby and youngest) My two big guys will be in Mammoth for two weeks soon and I get to have my interior of my house painted while they are gone. Besides the lovely bits of info above all is calm.

Well another month down. I came back from Vegas and found that the lovely, sweet, funny, remarkable Vicki had voted me SYSK!!! WOW I can't even begin to say how that made me feel. Here I am tired, broke and doing WAY too much laundry, feeling quilty for porking out and finding they like me they really, really like me!!! Beside SYSK and Vegas the month has been rather uneventful so far. The family is still good, the kids still being kids the universe is still turning. On a another subject lately I have been kinda pondering this label thing. I have always noticed how quick we (me) like to label someone somehow. The "mom" ,The "wls person", The "...". Especially since my brothers death I have watched my label change. The "sister that..." ,The "one who you know...". I wonder why all the labels? Can't it just be the nice person or not? It is sometimes so exhausting to just live up to these labels and even more exhausting to place them on someone else. So anyways until next month( the laundry awaits and those jeans must now be drip dried!!!)~Anici

Well it's that time again!!Update time. I am doing the same. I have at the end of the month struggled with control issues. A friend from the board had a tragedy hit her and her family and well I suppose It hit us all. My heart and thoughts are often filled with well thoughts and prayers for her family. My family continues to move forward and conquer. We have faced the worst imaginable tragedy and we are still standing, for ourselves, our children and most importantly for my brother.Everyday is another, good, bad or just plain boring, it's a day and I am thankful to be living it healthy and strong, with people I love.~Anici

It's Easter Sunday! I am up @ this early hour only because I have coughed myself into a fit! It is hard to believe it is already April. Last month I had two birhtdays for my boys. My baby is now 5 and my middle young man is 10. We had two cakes for each boy and I had WAY too much of each. With that said I did not gain weight but did feel a little nervous about the slippage. This month I went clothes shopping (like every month!) and have went into size 4 clothes. I look back at last year and know that is so much better. Hard to believe that last year I would wear 1's ( I am almost 5'9). My face has started to fill out and I don't get the "she's gross" stares anymore. My family six months after my brothers death continues to struggle but we are growing stronger. I have myself realized I will never get over my brother's death but I will learn each day how to deal with it in a better way. I am sometimes so sad that a breath hurts yet other d ays I am ok. I do truly miss him everyday but know that he is with me to protect me, after all that's what big brothers do. Have a good holiday! Have a good month! And always have a good time!

Well here I go again. Weight is stable, mouth is not. I keep eating crap. Sometimes out of habit sometimes out of stress. I have so far not been punished for my actions but the day will come, I know all to well. To my praise I have gone and seen my doctor to get new blood work. I also had a scary looking mole reomoved off my inter thigh. I have to wait for the results. I have a high risk because of two faimily members(one on each side) having melanoma. I went and visited my parents last weekend and since my brothers death slept in my childhood home. It was not easy. I am however glad I went and the boys did their magic on their Nono and Noni! They adore them and I must say my mom and dad are the best. Ok well I'm done. Till next Month!

It's almost the end of month one for 2007. Time really does fly when your head is in la la land! Currently I am sitting at 128- 130 and pissed at the lovely premenstrual bloat! For the new year I received my period back after going a year and a half without it. Once I put a little body fat back one I was blesssed again with the visitor from hell! I suppose I can live with it! On a better note I have once again been able to kinda get back to a normal life since my brother's death. It's not to say that I am fine all the time but I know that I must now live to the fullest. I do not treat myself as a second rate citizen anymore. I also buck the WLS by not depriving myself of certain things that are a so called no-no. I feel that life is really simple now, at the end of the day I have to be happy with myself and my decisions, and so far so good.
