It's been along time!!!!!!

Oct 20, 2009

Hello all!!!!  I am on here about 4 days a week.  I like to read the posts on here.  It really helps me through my journey.  My life has changed DRAMATICALLY!!!!!  I go out with friends now and I am the hot one that the guys try to pick up on lol...It's my turn to be picky with whom I choose to date.  I have met a wonderful man who knows about my WLS and doesn't care.  He just wants to support me.  I wear a size 5 or a juniors 9 or 11.  I am thrilled with my results, but of course I m not happy I want to lose more.  I still see my self at about 200lbs.  One day I will get over it.

1 Year Later....

May 30, 2009

One year ago today my life was changed forever.  I can't give enough thanks to Dr. Zorn and Kaiser.  I am a new person.  I have started dating, changed my hair color LOL, I can go shopping anywhere in the mall and I know my size will be there, I actually wear juniors clothes.  I can even shop at Victoria's Secret. I am very close to goal.  I have lost close o 150 lbs  OMG!!!!!  I can't believe it.  I have lost so many clothing sizes it's ridiculous.  I went from a 28 to a juniors 11.  When I was SMO I had red hair they actually called me "BIG RED" where I worked and my friends & family started calling me that also.  During this last year I went to Black Cherry.  I always told myself if I ever lost weight I wanted to be a blonde, well I did it and it look good.  Who would have ever thought it.  I feel as if I have accomplished so much, it has made me a better mom, daughter, sister, friend, coworker and person in general.  I have stuck with my new way of life like it was a religion. It's NOT A DIET, it's my new way of life is what I tell myself and it has worked.  I am not afraid to tell people I meet that I was SMO and what I did to make myself a healthy person.  I have actually encouraged others to live a healthier lifestyle and that feels great.
I have my life back and it is the best feeling in the world!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!! HAS LIFE CHANGED FOR ME!!!

Apr 22, 2009

My life has changed for the better.  I now have been asked out on several dates in the last week. n OMG!!!!  I have been able to wear shorts and not capri's I mean shorts.  They are a little shorter than average and I look really good in them.  I know because men have told me so.  It's sucha  weird feeling.  i have guys telling me how gorgeous and hot I am. Are they looking at the same thing I am.  I don't see myself like that.  One even told me that I was perfect.  UH!!  Idon't think so.  I have so many flaws on my body that I do not like.  i still need to tone up.

MARCH ALREADY!!!!!

Mar 28, 2009

Well, it's March!!!!!  I've been so busy lately.  In my family there are tons of March birthdays.  About a whole weeks worth, sometimes two in one day.  My son turned 3 and we had a BIG party for him.  He really enjoyed it.  That made me very happy.  My weight loss has kinda stalled for awhile.  Here and there I drop 5 or 6 pounds, but I am not complaining.  I thank god everyday for this gift i have received.  Without it I would not be in the 170's.  I can't believe it.  When I was in Options Johnni told me I would end up weighing about 170 after 2 years.  I think that I am going to surpass that.  When I went to seet the surgeon he said that I am a little ahead and that i will still keep losing.  He said that I can get into the 130's, but I don't think that would be a good look for me.  People that do not know how much I weigh think I weigh about 150 or 155; that is actually my goal.  I am doing well in school, so far this semester I have 3 A's and 1 B.  Gotta go!!!!!

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!199

Dec 09, 2008

Well, I did it!!!!!  I hit 199 by Thanksgiving. YAY!!!!!  I wanted to hit 199 at christmas, so now I need a new Christmas goal.  OK, I will pick 190.  I really want 189, but I don't want to be upset if i don't make it.  I know that it is only 1lb but that sure is a big difference the 190's to the 180's.  i guess I am weird.  Anyways, nothing interesting going on besides that.  Oh!  I took a picture at work and boy could I tell the difference.  Until next time.  MERRY CHRISTMAS and CYA next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!  2009 is my year!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

Nov 07, 2008

Well, it's that time of year again.  It's MY BIRTHADY!!!! today.  I think I am in a stall.  I lost only 7 or 8 pounds, but I lost a ton of inches.  I, really, wanted to hit the 100lb. mark for my birthday, but oh well!!!  I am not complaining at all.  I look hell of alot better than I did a year ago.  My first goal is to be 199 at Christmas.  I am going to work real hard to achieve this goal.  then we'll talk about my second goal.  Oh! Yeah! I turned 31 today, November 7th.  I look waaaaaay better in my 30's than I did in my 20's.  How many people can say that.  I am going to grow old gracefully!!!
     My birthday turned out really nice so far.  On November 4, 2008, Obama was elected President of the United States, that was a great birthday present LOL.  My mom and grandma took me to Disneys California Adventure.  Guest Relations gave me a birthday pin to wear.  My WONDERFUL co-workers decorated my cubicle beautifully with birthday stuff.  It looks like a party is happening.  I received some awesome gifts from them.  i am soooo lucky.  My son sang to me.  He's 2.  And much, much more.  I am the luckiest person in the world!!!!!!  Until next time.
    

I'M GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!

Oct 01, 2008

It's that time again.....It's October, baseball's playoff time.  I'm going to see the Dodgers play the Cubs on Saturday!!!!  I am sooooo excited.  I have now lost 87 lbs.  It feels so good.  My back hurts alot more than it did when I weighed 304 lbs.  I need only 13 more pounds to hit the 100 pound mark.  Hopefully the next time I update I will be there.  My goal for Christmas is to weigh 199.  That means I have 18 more pounds to go.  I CAN DO IT!!!!!!!  Until next month see you then.
