Hello - been awhile yet again!   I can't guarantee I'll be back on anytime soon but thought I should update my blog portion of my profile to give an update on my life.

The last time I wrote, I was admitting to being an alcoholic.  Even after I admitted this, I am pretty sure I kept drinking quite heavily to the point of blackout every weekend.  I finally can say that this part of my life is done and I have stopped drinking like a crazy person!   I have finally grown up and out of that stage!

My partner and I got married in April 2011 so it has been a year.  We have been together for 5.  We had a few rough months after I lost all my weight.  I felt like I wanted to live life and get all this attention.  It is horrible to admit that but I think a lot of people go through this after weight loss surgery and that is probably why I drank a lot too.  I also snapped out of this phase and realized I loved Ter and asked her to marry me.  After I asked her to marry me I got rid of all of my friends who drank.

We moved to Albuquerque shortly after getting married.  We have been here ALMOST 1 year and it is okay.  I would love to move to California sometime in the near future.  We are working on this now so that is the good thing!! ;)


Almost last update - We have been trying to get pregnant since January 2012.  We are currently on our 3rd IUI (insemination) right now.  Hopefully I get a positive pregnancy.

I have gained a little bit of weight back since my lowest weight.  I guess that is only natural to gain a little bit back though -  I am 3 years out.  I do try and remember my RNY tips from when I first started this journey but I try to just be normal and live normal and try to eat like a normal person.  



Anyways - closing this up now - any of my friends that were on here that would like to keep in touch - you can friend me on facebook.

I haven't gotten on ObesityHelp in quite some time now.   I think it is because I feel guilty about my recent activities and I didn't want to share.  I find though, if I get it out then maybe I will quit doing it.....

Since May, I have been drinking almost every weekend.  I was SOOO against drinking after RNY before I even got it but I found that when I started I really liked the affects it did to me.  At first I would drink 1 cosmo and be drunk and that would last me the whole night.....Now I find that I can take a few shots, have 1/2 bottle of wine and a few beers and get REALLY messed up and stay that way.   It is like I am able to go from being sober 1 moment to 2.5 minutes later being drunk and feeling good.
I don't want to go down this path anymore though.  I feel like I still have time to stop myself from potentially becoming an alcoholic.  I don't know what I am going to do to stop it or what support I am going to have.....I know I have my gf and that is all that matters....I know she will help me through this, it just sucks when I am around all my other friends and they are having a drink........hopefully I will work through this....

I also have stopped taking vitamins.  I haven't taken vitamins in like 3 months.  I tell myself, today will be the day that I will start on them and then totally forget to pack them for the day.   I read a story online where someone died because they didn't want to take vitamins and I don't want that to become me......I have already packed them today but I am missing calcium....I have to wait till after christmas to buy a tub....luckily I have a few samples that I can take till then....


I dunno, I felt like with this surgery I would be super woman and be able to do whatever  I wanted.....For the most part that is true but I can't continue to go down a path that will lead me back to where I was either weight wise or mentally wise....
We aren't always perfect, we have flaws, I have a lot of flaws, I am hoping to fix them before the year is up....I want to go back on my positive side when I first got this surgery....

That is all for now. 

Oh and on a positive note, I am in ONEderland....197 this morning :)
