I hope everybody has been doing okay.

So, where have I been? 

Let's see....

Had car accident, hurt my back really bad and was out of commission for a bit.  Been going to physical therapy 4x a week to fix my back and it's been working.

Had hormonal depression brought on by menopause..well that's what my GYN told me.   I had to have a hysterectomy last year and my hormones have been all over the place since then.  For some reason, they got super out of whack a few months ago and let me tell ya, it was not pretty.  I was crying all of the time and when I wasn't crying..I was eating.    I probably gained about 20 some odd pounds since the last time I post here. 

Because of the accident and my mini bout with depression, I had to put stuff on hold for a minute.  I missed my appt with the WLS surgeon and when I tried to reschedule, they gave me an appt date of OCT. 1st!  I was like hell nawl.   
Oh well, I spoke to several folks, my PCP and went online to find another WLS surgeon.  After my research, I'm glad to say that I'll be attending Dr. Sosa seminar next Thursday! Whoo~hoo!     I'm so ready to get this party started y'all!!

Any-ho, I hope y'all have a blessed day!

And so far, so good.  I've been eating nothing but fruits and veggies during the day and drinking my meal replacement shakes at night.  I've also been getting my water in!  I just need to keep this up for the next few weeks and then I'm going to do an all liquid diet for a week.  I'm going to need prayer for that one.

I told myself that I need to lose atleast 20 -25lbs before seeing the WLS surgeon.  So I went to the store and got my fruits, soy milk, yogurt and everything else that I need to get the ball rolling.  I really need to keep in my mind that this is for the long run.  That is a start (again) to get my life and health back on track.  And most importantly,

I'm tired of being fat!

I know we get our inspiration from different sources but can a shoe be an inspiration to lose weight? 





If that's not inspiration, I don't know what is!

Aww the holidays.  A time for family, friends, love, joy and ...............................EATING!!!!  My goodness, I really never paid attention to the amount of food that is around during the holiday season.  Folks at work bringing in cookies, cakes, pies and homemade egg nog.  Family members spending hours upon hours in the kitchen preparing the perfect holiday meal.  And dammit, temptation is a mothershutyourmouth!  I nibbled, tasted, sampled and noshed a gain of 5lbs!!!  Imma need for 01.01.09 to get here quick fast and in a hurry!
