Yes....it's been a while
Jan 22, 2011
Here it is, 6 mos since my last post. My intentions were to post at least every month, but between moving, single parenting, working, my commute to and from work (at least 2.5 hours/day) and trying to get to the gym all I could muster up is reading everyone else's post . But with all that said, I am doing wonderful.As of today, 1/23/11 I am down 105 lbs. I am still about 40 lbs from my goal. Lots have happened in since the last time I posted, however, it's amazing, I can hardly remember any of it. I think that's a good thing because my son and I are most important. I've spent all my life worried about others. I still do to some degree (normal), however it feels good to think of myself.
I went to see my nut the other day and she said, I think you are doing wonderful and I enjoy talking to you but I don't want u to use the sessions as a crutch. Yes, I cried.....She was throwing me to the wolves (lol). I understand....it's like a mom/dad raising their children and when they turn 18, you have to let them fly. I'm not saying I'm "cured" or will not have set backs from past issues, etc, however it feels good to be told that I am progressing and progressing enough to handle whatever may come my way. Recommendation: if you have not seen a nut, I recommend it. Some days after a session I would feel drained letting go of emotional baggage and other sessions I would leave feeling like I could conquer the world. Besides my surgery, seeing her was the 2nd best thing I have done for myself. I would not have progressed had I not had regular visits. Try it.....U might like it :)
I'm still single and dateless. It's funny, I thought once the weight came off I'd have men knocking down my doors (lol). That's not happening, but I am so happy that God answers prayers. My purpose for having the surgery wasn't to get a man. It will happen in time. I have stepped out of the box and did a little Internet dating. Some frustration because people write anything, With the few dates I have gone on, I have realized that I'm just not ready to get into a relationship. I have a big fear of disappointment in men. Which means I still have work to do within myself.
I know I'm all over the place with this post, but I'm writing what's in order of my thoughts. I have not had any health problems since my surgery. I haven't had a period since 3/2010 and my gyn says I'm menopausal. Some say I will have a period, but I don't know because the HOT flashes are HOT HOT flashes. They r no joke, Oh my goodness, one thing I have experienced that has never been an issue is gas. My son has nearly disowned me. The gas can knock a person down...out....upside down. After research, I have ordered Devrom. I hope this works, because I sure can't date if I want to if I'm that gassy. For one second I thought I'd rather be fat than a stinky skinny woman. But I'm sure this can be fixed?
I'm still excited about my progress...where I'm at and where I'm going. I will definitely be posting for my 1 year (2/16/2011). Hang in there everyone and don't give up.
Many Blessings!
