And Life Goes On ...
Jan 09, 2012
Gaad .. I don't realize how long I go between posts .... almost 2 years!Well, much has changed in the last year and 10 months - my daughter is finally finalizing her divorce from the abuser - I left my job a year ago - have been on unemployment since February. Filed for bankruptcy last October - am in the last phase of that. Not my proudest accomplishment, but a necessary one as at 61 the realistic odds of finding work are pretty low.
My BF and I spent much time working on our relationship and our individual issues and I moved back in with him last September - and we got married in December. Through all the crap of the last 2 years I managed to gain another 10 lbs, so am at a total 30 lb regain from my "happy weight of 135" .... I finally got my head out of my hiney and am back on my vitamins, protein shakes and beating the carb monster down. A little over a week of vitamins and protein have already made a difference, so maybe soon I'll start heading down the scale. The one "battle" I still have is alcohol .... even the 1 or 2 a night are, I'm sure, making a negative impact on my ability to lose.
So I am jumping into my WLS community with 2 feet - into my efforts with the Weight Loss Surgery Foundation of America and being VP of Events, and on the Chapter committee. We are organizing chapters around the country and as head of the Northern California chapter I am starting a peer support group. I think it is more for me than anyone else!
Life always goes on, my friends, and so we need to be mindful always of where our heads are with our eating. HEADBATTLES! They never do go away.
Love to you with yours!
