8 Weeks Out :o)

Oct 01, 2009


So last night I was talking to my fiancé and out of no where he goes “you know you’re almost at a 100 right?” I’m like “what are you talking about?” he says “you know you’ve lost almost a 100 pounds already!” Silence....LMAO!!!!
  

I remember it like it was yesterday…in 2007 I was at my heaviest I’ll never forget it. I weighed in at 320 pounds, but you would never know it, hell I didn’t even realize it! After seeing that HUGE number I made the decision to take control of my life. I talked to my Physician; he provided me with a prescription for diet pills, changed my eating habits, and I started doing “Walk Away the Pounds”. In December 2008 my physician was impressed with my weight loss but still suggested I look into gastric bypass. A few weeks later I had a consultation with Dr. Bilof and started a 6 month supervised diet with my nutritionist. Here I am... 8 weeks out and I’ve lost a total of 80 pounds combined before and after surgery. I’m still in shock!!! I don’t know if anyone has experienced this but as I’m dropping pounds, I keep asking myself “How did I let get to 320 pounds? Where in the hell was I going with all that weight?”  

Everyday I find myself uncovering answers to that question and I am so thankful for it. Just the other day, I got upset over something that happened at work, and when I got home I just wanted to EAT! I realized at that point that back in the day if someone pissed me off and there was nothing I could do about it, I would go home eat, smoke, and sometimes drink just to forget about what happened. But I’m not able to do that anymore…and it honestly made me sad, because I didn’t know how to deal with the anger and stress I was feeling. I spent the rest of the evening upset, and I woke up the next morning even more angry. But I decided that the best way to relieve that stress was to work it out! I got up put in my Walk Away the Pounds DVD and did a two mile workout with my weighted balls. And let me tell you….when I was done I felt great! I was so proud of myself.    

I’m taking it one day at a time I'm in no rush to get this weight off....LMAO!!!! I'm still trying to get the hang of my new life but I’m confident I will make it. I’m charging towards this full speed :-)
