God is so good, I just can't tell it all!

Hello everyone.  I've been so bad about updating my blog.  I rarely have time to do more online than check email and update facebook.  I feel horrible about not updating because  I feel like I need to share my story and hopefully it will inspire others. 

I have been able to share my story live and in person though.  I'm glad to say I have a coworker who had surgery this morning and another in the final stages of her doctor appointments before sending to the insurance company.  I'm so glad my story and my journey has been an inspiration to others to take their health back.  I pray they feel as amazing as I do every single day!

I'll be so glad when summer gets here.  I'm always freezing. My last labs came up low in iron. I hate taking the iron because it clogs me up really bad.  Oh well, stool softeners will be my new best friend again.

Have you tried the new chocolate chew calcium citrate w/ Vitamin D from Bariatric Advantage?  They are yummy and had a buy three get one free special online.  It's a nice switch from the fruity powder chewables.

We just got back from spring break; two days in Columbus at COSI science museum, and three days at the Great Wolf Lodge Resort.  We rode waterslides all day long.  It's good to be in a small bathing suit and not feel self conscious about things hanging all over the place. 

The weight is steady.  I fluctuate between 145 and 150.  I weigh myself every morning. If I hit 150 I cut the carbs for a few days to get back in line.  I have promised myself I will never, ever let this weight creep back up on me again.  I manage it daily now.  Some people would say that's not healthy. But it works for me. It keeps me honest about what I eat and the choice I make. 

Cheesecake factory has a spenda cheesecake that I adore.  I ordered some the other night and specifically told the lady make sure they use the spenda whip cream.  I got home and dug into my decadent delight, only to fall into a cold sweat.  I started dumping.  I was so mad.  Thank goodness I didn't throw down on that cheesecake and only ate a little bit.  It really took the joy out of my treat.

I made a sugar free sweet potatoe cake with cream cheese icing the other day. Delightful.  I also make sugar free banana pudding with sugar free shortbread cookies on the bottom.  Delicious!

That's it for now.  Blessings. Natalie
