88 lbs. gone...FOREVER!!

Sep 18, 2009

Today, 9/18/09, was my 6 month appt. with Dr. Lord. They are extremely pleased with my progress. I've lost 88 lbs. and 46.7 % of my excess weight. I feel great. All of my lab work came back with positive levels EXCEPT for my B-12. I must admit, I'm not doing the sublingual B-12 once a week like I should. Pure laziness is all it is. I open the cabinet to take other meds, but never bump that one out of the bottle...shame on me!! I'm back on it though. Ok, so, they thanked me over and over again for standing up at the seminar and sharing my inspiration. If they would've let me have the microphone, I could've gone on all night. I want to shout from the roof tops. For those who are in the process or fresh out of surgery, keep up the hard work, because it pays off. Don't listen to others, because we are the only ones who truly knows what obesity does to our soul. I've been having yard sales every Saturday for the last 3 weekends to try and raise money to buy new clothes. My closets are bare and with having been laid off after surgery, I don't have the means to replenish. I might even buy me an old red scary van, attach a trailer, and become a professional flea marketeer!!! Anyhow, I only have 2 pairs of pants that truly fit me and a few cute shirts. I keep sending my resume out and applying for jobs that are hiring, BUT I never get any calls back even though I have the skills. I'm also waiting on a settlement from the employer who laid me off upon my return from FMLA. I was out for 3 weeks on FMLA, returned, worked for 30 minutes, and was called in and offered a lay off or a demotion. I took the lay off and took my unsigned severance package to an attorney and he took it in a heart beat. I'm going to nail them to the wall. After 2 1/2 yrs. of hard work and my B of a Director got me out the door. Oh well, I hope to see her in court. Ok, so what else is new? Hmmm, oh, I have finished school since my lay off. I only lacked 3 classes before my Business degree, so I sucked it up and finished them in 12 weeks...GO GIRL!! So, all in 1 year, my 2 dreams in life; to be thin and to have my college education, have come true. And, I'm working on the other dream of gambling enough to where a casino will send me free buffets, rooms, and beg me to come stay again  Well, I will end my rattling for now. I hope all is well for each and every one of you. Until next my friends.............
