Today is 12/27/2006 I am down to 188 lbs. Feeling great. I now have 2 jobs. One of which I started my own business. I could have NEVER been able to do that before. Our Support Group is doing fine. We are still meeting EOW however with my jobs I only lead the group once a month. Keep your chin held high you, too, will succeed!!! TODAY IS 1/26/2007 I AM STILL AT 188 WHICH IS OK FOR ME. STILL FEELING VERY GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE DEPRESSION CRAP......

Tomorrow is my 6 year anniversary of my surgery!! I had it on friday the 13th and now 6 years later it is friday the 13th once again!!!!! They almost lost me when I had my surgery. I was in ICU for 12 hours afterwards due to heart trouble. I am very happy that I made it through all of that.
I think that sometimes we tend to forget where we are in life or what we have accomplished. I know that I sure do forget. I lost 164 pounds due to my surgery. I have kept off 118 pounds of that. I do have self esteem issues which I am sure that I always will. I had gained 30 pounds over the winter last year (2010) and worked hard to get it off over the summer of 5011. I am still between 212 and 218 which I am very proud of. Of course I would love to be at 166...the furthest I got down to, however, I am content to be fighting to keep the weight where I am at right now. I weigh myself alot these days and fight myself when I am over 212. I know that I atill don't eat right...the way I should. I also fight that all the time.
I hope that I can get on here this year and say that I am down to 199!!! That would make me feel a whole lot healthier to be out of the 200's. LOL Happy New Year to each and every one of you in your journeys!!
