6 months out
Nov 01, 2012
Hello my wonderful OH family! Life has been extremely busy and I've been trying to make it a priority to get back in tune with blogging and keeping up with all of you! I know how inspirational before and after pictures were to me and it was so amazing to look at other people's progress! I hope that I can provide that same inspiration and motivation for anyone out there who is thinking about having surgery or has just had surgery-maybe even those who are a few months out but are feeling a bit stuck. This journey has been nothing short of amazing and every day it gets better. I'd would have this procedure over again a million times. If you're contemplating whether or not you want to go through with this....do it. It will be the best decision you ever made. I know everyone is different but I saw a therapist for a while after my surgery and I absolutely loved it! I then moved to Florida and I have not found another one yet. I welcome everyone to add me and keep in touch! I'm always here to support!
xoxo Jamie

Therapy
May 01, 2012
I also went to my first therapy appointment. I'm so excited! We will be working on self worth, understanding and identifying my emotions and behaviors, healthy relationships and dating, and loving myself regardless of my weight. I'm super excited! She had me start a "Feelings" journal so I could start writing things down. I'll be going once a week for now. She wants to get me prepared for my big move to Orlando in July!!!!
Workout News: Yesterday I did a walk/job interval warm up and then went to zumba!
"Something's Missing"
Apr 20, 2012
I know this song is definitely not talking about food....but I think lyrics are written to be interpreted how we see fit with our personal situations.
I ask myself what I'm missing and my answer is: LIFE!!! I'm missing life. But not for long!
"Something's Missing"
I'm not alone, I wish I was.
Cause then I'd know, I was down because
I couldn't find, a friend around
To love me like, they do right now.
They do right now.
I'm dizzy from the shopping malls
I searched for joy, but I bought it all
It doesn't help the hunger pains
and a thirst I'd have to drown first to ever satiate
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
something's missing
And I don't know what it is
At all
When autumn comes, it doesnt ask.
It just walks in, where it left you last.
And you never know, when it starts
Until there's fog inside the glass around your summer heart:
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
something's missing
And I don't know what it is
At all
I can't be sure that this state of mind, is not of my own design
I wish there was an over the counter test, for loneliness.
For loneliness like this.
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
Something's different
And i don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
Friends -check- Money -check-

How come everything I think I need, always comes with batteries
What do you think it means
How come everything I think I need, always comes with batteries What do you think it means
One day post op....
