9/19/2014... My 5 year anniversary !!!

Sep 09, 2014

Update... It's been almost 5 years since my surgery. The past couple of years have been very hard on me. The last time I updated was in 2012 and I weighed 110 pounds. I thought I was fat and ugly at that size. Since that last post I have gained 40 pounds. Yes, I said 40 pounds. I look back at my pictures and laugh. I can't believe I would have those crazy thoughts. I was beautiful and had a damn good body. I just wish I could have seen it myself. Looking back over the years (since I had my surgery) I have noticed I had been so depressed and miserable. In my mind I thought being skinny was the only way I could he happy. Boy was I wrong. It didn't help that my life had hit rock bottom during that time. Since my surgery, I have gotten a divorce, gained 40 pounds, lost my job, apartment and everything I own but I can honestly say I have found happiness :) I always come back to this site hoping to get inspired and motivated. I want to get this 40 pounds off and get the body back that I once had. I go back and look at old profiles just to see how everybody looks today and it amazes me at how well they have done keeping the weight off. I could kick myself everyday for letting myself gain the weight back that I did. I just look at the bright side and thank The Lord for letting me be the person I always dreamed of being. It's funny cuz all my life every time I made a wish or prayed, I would pray to be skinny. God answered my prayers !!! I guess I should have prayed that I would stay skinny once I got skinny...LOL ;)

It's been FOREVER since I was on here last.....

Jul 19, 2012

It sure has been a crazy couple of years.... I went from 215 punds all the way down to 93 pounds. I went from one extreme to another. It will be my 3 year anniversary in September and let me tell u it has not been easy at all.. My weight is now 115 and I still can't say that I am happy with my body. I've maintained this weight for a good time now.. If you want to lose the weight to finally be happy with your body than u can go ahead and forget about even trying to lose the weight. Weighloss will not change your mental outlook. At least it didn't for me. I almost died from being obese and then almost died from being anorexic. Me and my husband are getting divorced. That was the best thing that has happened.... One day when I have a minute I will fill you in on EVERYTHING that I have experienced... Here is a couple of pics that I want to share..

Emotional HELL !!!

Aug 04, 2011

I don't ever get on here anymore but, I figured I would today so I could update everyone on my weightloss journey. Next month will be 2 years since I decided to make the biggest descision of my life. I am not going to lie but, it has been hell when it comes to emotions. It has deffinently been an emotional rollercoaster. My highest weight was 215 pounds and my lowest weight was 92 pounds. I went from a size 26 in womens clothes to a size 12 in little girls clothes. I am currently at 110 pounds and a size 5. I am back to feeling fat and ugly again. When I try to put on clothes that once fit and are now way to tight I go through a real bad depression and turn to food for comfort and eat and eat until I am sick. When I wake up the next day and get on the scales and see that I have gained another pound from my binge eating episode it sends me back into a depression and I become so angry with myself and once again I turn to food. It is a viscious cycle. I had my addiction to food cured for about a year and a half but, these last 6 months I have turned to my food for comfort and have caught myself slipping back into my problem with food addiction. I can honestly say that "I am a food addict"...Everyone says I am at the perfect weight where I am now but, I don't feel good about my self and it don't matter what people think it's how you feel about yourself that matters, so, starting today I am going to get back down to my goal of 103 pounds. I felt great at 103 pounds and I was happy with that size. For all of you that are reading this "Don't try to be a size that is going to please others; be a size that is going to please you..." .. I have always tried to please everybody else and I just can't. I was eithor to fat and looked gross or I was to skinny and looked like a crack whore. Now I hear "Your at a good size just don't gain anymore weight" or I still get told "you can stand to put on a few more pounds". I really just feel like screaming !!!! I wish I had a support group but, all I have are people who tell me how they want me to look. No wonder I turned to food for comfort again.

I just got out of the hospital....

May 04, 2010

I was admitted to the hospital sunday. They thought I had a blockage. I originally went due to dehydration from a stomach virus I got but, when they did the x-rays they saw alot of water and gas built up in my stomach. They ended up doing a cat scan and it showed the same. The gastric bypass doctor from that hospital said that he didn't think it was a blockage and wanted to keep me in the hospital till wednesday and do an upper endoscopy. I didn't want to stay till wednesday so I was released yesterday. My body is very weak right now. All I have done is sleep for 3 days. I'm scared that I am dieing. Everyone kept telling me that I was going to get sick and I didn't believe them. I guess I should've listened. It's weird that I can eat alot but, It hurts to drink. I just don't understand. I am so mentally exhausted.

I weigh 103 and my labs are GREAT !!!

Apr 13, 2010

I am very happy with my results. I now weigh 103....woohoooo !!! I did my measurements and I am a 33 bust -26 waist -33 hips. I would love to be a 32-24-32. I wear a size 3 in juniors and 0 or 2 in womens. I feel GREAT. I am now eating about 1,200 calories a day. I eat all the time but, I make sure it is healthy. Fruits, yogurts, wholegrain crackers, and my protein shakes. I still exerscise one hour a day. I will not miss it for anything. I'm never on here anymore because I am always busy, busy, busy...I've learned that I have to be careful about eating to many carbs or sugars at once. It will make you faint. I passed out the other night after eating 2 yogurts at once. I just did the same thing and now I am feeling lightheaded and a little dizzy. I could go to sleep. I wish...I have to head back to work in just a minute. Well, I'll update some pics as soon as I get a chance. Ya'll take care...
