Hear I am: 3 years out!
Mar 09, 2008
I can't believe it's been 3 years this April. I am at 150 lbs., 10 lbs under my goal. Today I had corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, pineapple, pie and cookies. It was a pot luck at church. I was down to 145 lbs. but I worked at eating so I wouldn't lose anymore and now I'm fine. I'm hoping I stay at this spot. (May need to start watching the desserts. No, I never had dumping syndrome).
As I reflect on my goals, I see that I had high expectations for some things. I haven't gone on that wildflower hike, but I could. I haven't planted a garden, but I'm hopeful that I will. You see I went through a major depression 6 months out and went through a year of no energy and feeling totally depressed (Like the commercial on TV for some anti-depression drug). I thought it would never go away. One day it was just gone. I was going to college and teaching full-time. Since surgery I have had my gall bladder out (July 2007) and developed an ulcer in the fall of 2007. It is just now under control.
I have a gym membership and don't go, but I do an aerobic routine in PE every day at school. So now I need to remember that I am not obese and I can do all these things.
