Lots of things have happened since my last post.  The two most important being:

1.  I got RIF'ed on the 28th of Feb. I LOVED my job!  It was perfect for me.  I had the opportunity to work with brilliant people every day and I had the opportunity to trouly make a difference to the customers that my department was responsible for.  While I miss work, contrary to everyone's belief--it's not the worst thing that has ever happened...it was just the worst thing that happened THAT day.  In the big scheme of things, my son's death was the worst thing that has happened to me to date.  Losing a job is small potatoes.

2.  I FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY reached ONE-DERLAND!  


I've become a gym rat!

Who knew that I'd actually like going to the gym?

You want me to do what?

Jan 08, 2008

Just left my doctor's appointment for my six month check.  All went as expected.  

Dr. Blaney is pleased with my weight loss and is trying to encourage me not to be discouraged that I haven't gotten under the 200 mark yet.  I am FIRMLY planted at 202.  He stated that he'd like me to loose another 60 pounds.  OK...not in my plan, but he is the surgeon, right?

I didn't do this for the skinny...I did it for the healthy.  I am totally uninterested in weighing 130 pounds.  I'll be COMPLETELY happy at 150.  Size 10, 12, 14...somewhere around in there.  I'm in an 18 now.  I've got to get to the gym in any case; however.  Who knows my way of thinking may change shortly.

Anywhooo, this surgery definitly rocks!

I weighed myself today--I'm at 213-214..depending on which number I choose to believe.  lol  

Just got off the phone with a friend of mine from florida...what makes people who seem normal become total idiots over people who don't deserve it?  He is TOTALLY stressed over his RELATIONSHIP with a woman who began cheating on her husband 12 weeks after the wedding!!

HE is mad at ME for telling him that she's a trick and he's a DUMMY!!  I could've used much more colorful terms, but I REALLY didn't want to hurt him...

UGH!!

39 and Holding!!!

The 20th of Sept was my 39th birthday.  I told myself that I'd better enjoy it because I only get one more of these before I stop counting!!

I was laughing at myself the other day because I realized that I weigh less today than it says I do on my driver's license.  LOL.  I never realized that my license stated that I weighed 225.  I am now at 221.  How fabulous is that?!

OK...I have been horrible about posting.  A few things have happened since the last post.  

1.  Someone told me that they "didn't recognize me from the back" at a wedding we attended a couple of weeks ago.
2.  I've bought my first size 18 dress--I haven't done that since Lane Bryant opened when I was in High School
3.  Finally, finally found some vitamins I can tolerate.
4.  Begun to eat pretty much what I want--no sweets, but I did add a curves granola bar...does anyone know if that will make me gain weight?
5.  Finally, I've lost 40 pounds--still hoping that I'm on track...some people loose so much faster.  I guess I'm still trying to get over the "fat girl on the failed diet head tricks".  Hopefully, Im doing well.

I just know that I will be awful at posting on this thing as much as I should; however, please know how pleased I am that I've lost 30 pounds from my top weight of 270 since June 8th.  

How  is that?!!   I can not however, truthfully say that it has all been roses.  Though, I've had no major complications from surgery--just a few bouts of upset stomach every once in a while--I can say that the surgery itself is the easy part.  It's the after that can be a little difficult.  At this point, I"m trying to keep my head wrapped around the fact that I must eat--that I must eat on time.  That I MUST take THOSE vitamins and drink THAT protein shake.  I'll admit that I've not been as diligent as I should, but I am trying.  

The other issue that I'm having is getting used to the decidely slimmer face that I see in the mirror every day.  You see, once I got to the stage that I realized that "I had it goin on", as we used to say back in the day,  I did it.  I embraced everything about being a "big girl".  I loved myself.  At this point...I'm trying to figure out what to do with the person under all of the layers.  Hopefully, I"ll like her as much as I did the girl I was before.  Sounds so morose, I know; however, it's how I'm feeling at the moment.
