Hey everyone, I'm still working at this new Life.. Looking forward to Great Things and Changes in 2013...Praise God.....

Hey OH family,

it's been a while since i've been on here, but I have checked on you guys. I have come to a decision in my life tha I want more.I have started back exercising.. yes i had stopped( not a good move I know). I got comfortable and excited being a 16, some 14, and it has cost me..I realize now I want more from this gift, so i must do what it takes to get it.

This journey has been a great experience, and I dont want to lose it . here are some pic of me from my 30year + reunion. it felt great, some of my classmates didnt recnonize me..it was awesome..but now back to work..

Please keep me in your prays..

Today I am one year out.. I feel great.. The scale has moved another 5 lbs.  I am down to 190...it's awesome, because so many things has taken place in my life in  the last seven months.(stressful)..my size 14 pants are lose now, so I know it wont be long before i'm in 12's again..I have started back exercising, since relocating back to Ga..
 
I have started a support ministry for womens with addictions and destructive behaviors,, it will be  based on God and how he see us., and desire for us to live....I have learned so much since this surgery, especially the fact that I  still need him to help me..yes i've found out the hard way...Gastric is only a tool, but for the bad habits I have created for years,,I need God!!!

I have my facebook page (Melba Hoskins) linked to my email address [email protected] would love to chat  with others who have found and is finding freedoom..

Pics are comming soon..Thanks for all the support...

Hey everyone..I am so glad the scale is still moving ..and my OA classes are great, I am learning so much stuff..I am more concious of what goes in my mouth.I have started logging everything which makes it easier.I went to get some new dresses, I was like wow.. I will post them later.

Thanks to everyone who encouraged me and prayed for my success, I will keep u in my prayer also..
I am packing to move back to Ga. in June..it's gets a little stressful at times,  but I just pray and keep moving..

Well I'll check back later..thanks  u guys..

Hey guys I'm so  happy my body has woke up again..  down five more pounds.. I am so glad I can walk now..my eating habits are changing too.. Feeling better day by day..I also start attending a new class, my PA  suggested seeing a counselor so I chose to go to OA and I have learned some new stuff already..I am so glad I went, understand why I am desiring sugar so much.(had got so discouraged). but now I can see things so different..I am so grateful for the support..

 Sometimes we need to explore this disease more in detail to understand whats going on with us, even after the surgery cause as they say its only a tool, and u have to adjust ur thinking and habits to really win this thing.. I am willing to do what ever is necessary to obtain and maintain my goal weight..All of us are different and I can't kill me cause my body don't respond like some-elses..

Praise God for people out there who are willing to share with others to help them to overcome this struggle..We are helper one to another..

Today I feel so good..I have make a decision to be happy.. not to allow myself ( emotional eating) or anyone else to bring me down..I have made great some accomplishment in this new journey.  it has had its highs and lows, and that only because I didn't know what to expect, and the unknown can sometimes be scarry..
Went to the Dr. today I can start my exercises again, Yeah!!!! And I know the pounds are going to fall off now.. I also went to a store and was able to fit in a pair of 14 pants..(go me). 

Honesty I can say I have put myself under unneccessary stress, buy comparing myself to others journey..But today I am doing what it takes for me...I had to do some soul searching and realize what I have accomplished is good enough...this surgery is working on more than my body, I am doing a mental adjustment too..facing reality, what got me here in the first place..

Thanks to everyone who has encouraged me and shared their stories, it encourages me to keep going, even with the stalls...... PLUS THE SCALE HAS STARTED MOVING AGAIN...PRAISE GOD...

I am enjoying my new life.. sometimes it seems so unreal, especially when I go to the store and try on clothes.. I can hardly believe it..I am so grateful for the blessing God has given me..I have waited years to feel this way and it has become reality..My eating has changed, but sometimes I find my self going back to old habits ( sweets) but I cant eat them like I use to and for this I am so happy. Haven;t been able to exercise yet because of my foot, but I'm so ready...the scale haven't moved much either but I 'm still encourage because I know it wont be long...I'm 9.5 months out.. feel like I should have lost more, but I wont complain, cause it nothing compared to the size I use to be...Keep me in ur prayers that God will continue to bless us all...

Life is going so good.. I lost 10 more lbs.. loving it...oh and I broke my toes last week.. so now I just trying to stay positive..no major walking for two-three weeks.. Lord help me....but all in all having a ball, I am vacationing in Ga, it feels so good to hear my friends say how cute I look...lol...I am enjoy this 70 degree weather.. they have beautiful sundress out already....but I'll wait until May when i move back and then shop..
