My Memorial Day

May 25, 2009

SUCKED!!!! Don't get me wrong - I had a great time, I went to a picnic, but all the food I couldn't eat! BOO HOO! I would have killed for a hot dog. It's a long road, post-op. Waiting till your stomach can handle real foods... And you don't realize what a part food plays in life until you've had the surgery! Celebrations, Sunday dinners, family time, friend time - you name the occassion and there's food involved! I finally broke down and got myself an insulated lunch box and and ice-pack, so I can carry my yogurts and cottage cheese around with me. Last week I wasn't taking very good care of myself, not eating for hours on end, and this week I refuse to do the same thing. This week, I'm going to have my food with me so that I can eat every 2 hours like I'm supposed to! I got up and walked a mile yesterday - felt good, too! My back didn't start hurting until about 3/4 of the way through, which for me, is a miracle! I used to be able to make it about a 1/10th of a mile before my back started hurting. Now, 20 pounds lighter, it's made all the difference. It's supposed to rain today, but luckily, I have a treadmill at my disposal.

Now, all I want is a man. I've been single for almost 4 years... my last relationship being an abusive one. I think I'm ready to get back into the dating pool. I've been talking to this guy, Tim, on PlentyOfFIsh.com (great site for meeting quality people - and it's FREE!). It seems we have a lot in common, and he's REALLY cute too! Just a little young for my tastes, but if he can keep up with me, it's all good. I hope something comes of it. I'm ready to fall in love again. I'm ready to have someone in my life. I'd really like to meet someone before I lose all the weight. I want to meet someone who will love me for me and not for just what I look like, you know?
