Wow I can't believe it's been almost 3 years

Sep 20, 2009

Well it's been forever since I have been here.  I know I know but well I've been living life.  I am so busy now.  I have a successful business as well as a full time career with the Forest Service.  Hoping to get a warrant so I can go out on fires this next year.  Well I can go out as timekeeper but would like to do more in the procurement area.  Good news I had heard I had to have 24 college credits to do it but just found out I don't...woooot.  So...weeeeee here I go. 

Now as far as my WLS I consider myself very successful.  Last year at my 2yr anneversary I had only gained 1 pound from the year before.  That was at 146 now I maintain at 139-142.  I weight myself everyday and eat accordingly.  I'm not really limited on what I eat with the exception of portions.  When I eat sweets I just have like one or two of something.  I also still workout 3 times a week.  I am healthier now at almost 45 then I have ever been.   Yay me...lol.  Please understand that I still have to work at it but it's a lot easier to maintain then it ever was to lose with the exception of the weight loss after surgery.  If you have the surgery and you wish to be successful remember you will have to work at it for the rest of your life.  You can never go back to the way you were.  Shoot to be honest who would want to?  Hmmm lets see 270 at 5'2", tired all the time, unable to enjoy myself at doing anything, unable to do things with my son and husband or 142 healthy and enjoying life.  You be the judge.  Have I slipped?  Yes I have but I picked myself back up and got back to basics.  That is why I weigh myself every day.  I hope and wish for everyone to have the success that I have had.
