17 Months Post Op

Jul 01, 2010

Hello OH! I have been having a pretty great summer so far. I am currently at 200lbs down from 435lbs. I wear a size large top and 14/15 jeans. It feels amazing to be able to run around and enjoy summer like I never have before. I wear shorts and tank tops rather than jeans and hoodies which I did for so many years. I went to Valley Fair (amusement park here in MN) for the first time in over 10 years! I fit on every ride with no problems. I had sooo much fun!! We even went to the water park within Valley Fair and the stairs were no problem and I didn't feel too self conceious in my suit. My legs are pretty saggy but whatever! Last night I went to the bar to see my husband's band play and the door man checked me drivers license and after about a minute he asked if I had anything else? I gave him my passport (don't ask me why I carry that around in my purse! lol) and he stared at that next to my DL for a good minute or two and asked if I had anything else? I then gave him my checkbook so he could verify my address and married name and then he FINALLY let me in!! I guess my next step is to update my DL photo! I don't want that to happen again no matter how amazing it made me feel! I have been pretty naughty in the food department and I hate myself for it! I have implemented some new rules to live by: only eat 3 meals a day - NO SNACKING!, start drinking my protein drink or milk w/ carnation instant b-fast in the mornings again, do NOT drink my calories!! I think that will help me reach my ultimate goal of a NORMAL weight which for me is 184 (I'm 6ft tall.) I really want to get to 199 by the time my dad gets to town on 7/14. I am going to try really hard to get there! This holiday weekend is going to make it challenging though that is for sure! Annie is doing wonderfully. She is rolling all over the place and can sit up on her own pretty well but not completely just yet. She puts herself to sleep which is so nice. She has also started solid foods  like cereal and veggie baby food. God I just love her to death! I thank the lord everyday for giving her to us. She is the best thing that has ever happened  to me! I feel like I was born and to be her mother! Anywhoooo I hope you all have a fun and safe 4th of July weekend and see ya next month!!

P.S. I'm going to see Eclipse tomorrow night and I am soooo excited!!
