while filling out paperwork this week at work I realized that I'm under my "license weight" of 250! Which has been the same for like maybe 15 years even though I was 127 lbs over it lol. I'm 10 lbs under it yay! Now I wish it needed renewed badly becau

Ugh. I was worried about starting work and how that would affect my weight loss and I didn't lose anything this week. There's only been maybe 3 weeks total that that's happened so far so I'm nervous. I'm not going to freak out obviously but I'm still n

I just read People's "Half Their Size" cover story and it makes me so angry!  It usually just serves to make me feel shitty about myself but this year - when I am hopefully well on my way to being half my size - it pisses me off. The byline underneath

We take a Christmas picture every year at my parents house on Christmas year and then we have the albums out and look at them - my brother has a ton of kids and it's neat to look at them through the years. Looking at my album last night was like a slap

So yay I finally got a job! I start in January which is awesome and I'm very excited. I've worked from home for years and I've been very open about my surgery with everyone I know - on FB, everything. So I haven't had to hide my eating habits from anyo

DH and I are kind of getting in a rut with what we're cooking. I had gotten 2 After WLS cookbooks before surgery and I don't like either of them - one is the Dummies guide and the other is the Idiot's guide. Generally the recipes aren't great. We like

Went Christmas shopping with my Mom today and I needed clothes for sure. I got dress pants and tried on a 1x, too big. went to the regular sizes, where the XL was still too big and finally got the L and it fit. AHH, I haven't worn that in forever in I

My arms have always been the one area I've hated about my body, even at my heaviest when I was big everywhere. Now that I'm losing weight my arms are still huge and the skin is really baggy there. So now when I'm wearing smaller sizes I can't

Ugh, I gained this week for the first time ever! Only one pound but I'm not happy. I'm also not freaking out. I did my annual Christmas in Chicago trip with my best friend this weekend and it's always harder to eye exactly how much I'm eating then sinc

i take my vitamins religiously but would love to switch some back to regular pills. I take other meds in pill form and have no problem but calcium and multi vitamins in particular are large so I was wondering for the vets specifically if you ever switc

I saw that there was an update for photos so I updated my profile pic finally - the one I had was from a few months pre-surgery. It was super easy to do but the picture doesn't show at all - at least not for me. I don't know about for anyone else. I tr

I used to have pretty bad IBS-C. I took meds for a while but then the med was taken off the market. I was in and out of ERs for a while. Gradually I got ahold on what food I could eat and what I couldn't. I cut out greasy food in generally and fast foo

I returned some clothes I had bought on clearance earlier in the year this weekend. I thought I would like them when they finally fit me and I just didn't. But I had the receipts so I wasn't out anything. But I needed pants because mine keep basically

I had an interview today and I was looking for something to wear last night and couldn't find my normal interview shirt so I went into my closet to "shop" and grabbed a shirt that I had tried on just last month and didn't fit then. Totally fit and look

I flew to NYC this weekend. I've had the trip planned for a few months - I haven't flown in just about a year, definitely since before I had the surgery. I got on the flight and asked for the seatbelt extender when I got on because I wanted to make sur

I'm around 6 months out. Going to the movies with a friend today and was just wondering if a small popcorn, no butter was an option? Not a big deal if it isn't. It's the first time I've been to an actual movie theater since the surgery lol! I've been t

I posted earlier this week that I reached 50% of my goal - which is -101 pounds and I was going to see if I could attempt pictures this weekend. So here goes! I was at my niece's wedding earlier so I got a full length shot of my husband and I, in a dre

My health tracker hasn't updated for a week now even though I updated it a week ago. Usually it takes a day. I'm not getting email notifications that people are replying to my posts either. But I am getting emails that people like my post, which I used

I've been waiting for this day for the last few weeks and I've been getting more and more exited and today's the day - I'm exactly 50% to my goal. I lost 101 pounds as of today!! My goal is to lose 202 pounds which I know is a huge goal but I think I c
