January 2010! I'm back!

Jan 05, 2010

Cheers everyone!

Well, it's been since July that I've been on this site! I miss being here. But...I've been really, really busy.

First off, I went back to college (full-time). I'm keeping the weight off. Yes, it is going on 4 years now and I still feel wonderful. I'm hovering between 165 and 172. My primary doc says she is comfortable with these numbers. I would like to be at the 165 number though. I just feel so much better at that weight.

I'm going back to college and trying to finish a business degree/human resources degree. Hopefully I'll finish in 2 years.

However, the happy news must end here. My son, Cody moved out in October to live with his dad. He turned eighteen and decided to go there because he'd have more freedom. I felt terrible to all of it--even gained some weight because I became a social/emotional eater! UGH! The cycle is soooo vicious!
But, with my husband's support---I am better and looking at it as an opportunity! My husband even got me Wii Fit Plus for Christmas! Years ago, I would have been upset at that type of gift; however, I welcomed it...and I have used it every day and have lost 4 lbs!

My eating is better. I do eat a lot of meats and dairy still. I am not drinking the shakes anymore. I just can't tolerate them.

Other than that...life is wonderful. God is good and I know he brought me this far. I enjoy my life and feel as though I have purpose to be here. 

If you're thinking about gastric bypass...it is  a HUGE decision. I welcomed the changes. I don't miss those foods I can never eat again. I enjoy looking at my size 10 jeans. (Although I would love to get to a size 8!---it'll happen--in time!)

Take care and love to you all. I hope that you get everything you need for the new year and that things will go better than ever before for you and your family. God Bless!
