EPIC FAIL: BlogPost

So I am back and working even harder towards my goals of being fit and happy. My surgery was an EPIC FAIL but it is my fault. I didn't follow the rules...I drank wine and other alcohol like a drunk...who am I kidding I was a drunk!! And now I look in the mirror and am HUGE...won't even post my weight because I am so big. BUT I quit drinking and am down 20#!! 20 pounds that I have lost many other times in my life...and each time saying this is it....WELLLLL this is IT!! I am done with the yo-yo...I have decided that there is no magic surgery or pill. The only thing that is going to make me healthy is EXERCISE, and eating right and hard work. I am not a fortunate soul who loses weight by thinking about it or can eat whatever I want and not gain an ounce. When I am fit it is because I worked hard to get that way and you know what....I am kinda glad. That means that to be fit and thin I have to put good things into my body and I have to work my body hard to get and maintain muscle. It is not an easy road for me but I have determined that physical fitness makes me happy and the only side effects are AWESOME!! I will be blogging because I think it is important to show the ups and downs of the surgery and of the effects long after the surgery. Truth is my pouch never stretched I just got fatter from drinking and we aren`t suppose to do that. And my surgery does work...I just didn`t work my tool. But now it will help me get to where I want to be...and I will enjoy the journey!!

I think it is so important for people who haven't had surgery yet or are still early out to read posts like yours. This isn't a magic cure for obesity. It isn't the easy way out. It takes work and dedication to stay healthy. While the weight may or may not fall off fast and easy during the honeymoon, it's a commitment for the rest of our lives to keep it off. I'm happy for you that you are getting back on track, and I pray for the strength to stay there now that I'm at goal. Good Luck!

Amen!

Congrats on your sobriety, its the hardest part.  Sounds like you have your head on straight- go for it!
