OMG it's been that long!!!!
Jul 24, 2010
I can't believe it has been so long since I have updated, which so how long it has been since I have been on this site. BAD ME!!! Well ALOT has happend in the past year. I went through a horrible DV divorce. It was not pretty, but the GOOD thing about it all is my girls and I are completely safe. Also my guy best friend was there from day one and has not left our side since. I have known him for 5 years and over those 5 years I knew it would only be a matter of time before we would be together. We we are and working on a strong foundation for the future.
On to my weightloss-My weight has gone up and down over the past year. I can say I go between 140 and 150. So I am hopping that it is just my body leveling out. I have taking up walking the college track 2-4 times a week. I have started with 4 times around and am slowly working up to more. I don't have the courage to go to the gym yet, but hoping in the next few months I will. As far as my eating goes I have noticed I am starting to eat to fast and I know that is a horrible thing to do, so I pulled out my timer and started using that again. When I first had the surgery all the ones who already had it told me to watch myself because the bad habits will return, well I hate to say it they have. I no longer drink my protien shakes in the am I have replaced them with a coffee frapp. I eat carbs like no other and the worst is I eat at night! So I know that I have some changing to do.
So how long has it been????

Well it's been since Oct..since I have updated my profile. Alot has happened since then...In a nut shell I left my husband, gained my happiness back and lost 10 lbs in the process....so I can't complain.
One day I was sitting at work thinking and started to write on a piece of paper and this is what ended up coming out..I hope you enjoy.
ROADS
Sometimes in life we all take roads that we
never intend to travel. I found that down the
road I chose to travel the last 16 months
only came many bumps, dips, and hurts that
only brought bruises and scars. Bruises will
heal scars are forever. When the road became to much there
came a fork in the road. This fork gave me a choice to
continue on or to make a change; I chose to take the road
that was less traveled, far less bumps, dips, and hurts that
will damage. Change of roads, direction and thought can only
bring determination, new adventure and a lot of happiness.
This road WILL bring opportunities of healing, change,
purpose, desire, healthiness, trust and most of all LOVE. No
matter what turns it takes I am ready to travel down it.
What a WOW moment!!

and told him no way those are to small for me. He insisted I go and try them on..Darn husband!! So reluctanly I went in the dressing room and tryed them on. Now in my head I was like "ya right these are not going to fit" So as I stuck one leg in and then the other I thought " wow these are really small" however still thinking "the true test will come when I try to pull them over my A$$. So I pull them up over my thighs and they were still moving up and OMG they went over my A$$. So then came the moment of truth. WILL THEY BUTTON??? As I am sucking my tummy in I think "ok if these button I am so dancing 
out of this dressing room. Well lets just say I danced my "little" A$$ out of that dressing room, danced 
over to my husband and said "OMG you will never believe this these are a size 10.........
The moral of this wow moment is that I have not been in a size 10 since I was in 3rd garde. Know that one day you too will be at a point were you can not believe you are buying such small sizes.
TEM MONTHS OUT...YIKES!!!

Well its that time. I must update my profile since I haven’t since May……Wow I can’t believe how fast time flies. I turned 10 months old last Friday and am feeling like I am falling back into my old ways. It is really discouraging. I find that I am hungry at night, so I find myself eating while I am in bed. I know this is the worst thing for me to do. This is an “old bad habit” I have fallen into. I must kick it!! I have not been going to the support groups like I use too so maybe that is why I am letting my “bad habits” come back. I have been lurking way too much on this board and not posting. “BAD ME!!” I know there is many newbie’s that need support advice and guidance. So I must get on the ball with that. As for my personal life it has been nothing less then crazy. I know that seems like always the case, but it really is. I have been feeling really depressed lately and overwhelmed. I have thought about getting back on depression meds, but I really don’t want to do that. My girls have started soccer so we are back on the soccer 4 days a week thingy again. I have started school and that is not going so well, I am feeling like I am going to fail. Anatomy is kicking my hinny and math I am doing ok in I just need to work on it more.
As for my weight loss, It has been slow and steady. I found that I was stuck on a stall for about a month and a half then I really started looking at what I was doing and changed it up a little. I wasn’t getting all my protein in everyday I was eating carbs and sugars like nothing and I wasn’t moving. So I really had a soul talk and went to the vit shop and got me a case of bullets and started everyday off with one of those and a glass of water, cut out most carbs and sugars and started walking at the girls practices instead of sitting. I also joined a softball team. Well I must say after 2 weeks the scale moved 8 pounds down. I was so happy. But now I am back on a stall again, I think it is because I have lost as much as I am going to loose. I mean I have lost 111lbs. So I can’t complain, well off to school now to study. Until the next time I update everyone stay safe and keep that protein going in.
So I guess I should update.......

SO I have to share 2 WOW moments I have had in the past couple of days. The first one was yesterday, I was at school walking to my car with my backpack on my back and I went to pull up my pants that were falling,(cuz my big butt that was there is now gone) I figured out that my hips are the small size as my backpack. My hips were not wider then my backpack on my back. Then the second one was I went to dinner with my friends and my husband and we were walking to the door and there were our shadows on the ground. I couldn't see mine until my husband pointed out to me that it was the skinny one. YAHOO!! I just wanted to start crying.
3 months out
