almost 3 months out
Sep 14, 2010
Well, I'm 1 day shy of being 3 months out. WOW, this is the best thing that I have ever done for myself (besides my hysterectomy . . . lol)! I still look in the mirror and see the fat me, to me it doesn't look like my appearence has changed much, but when I put on clothes, i can definately see the difference. I was a size 24/26 before surgery and now I fit in a size 16. At my highest weight i was 274 pounds (keep in mind that I'm only 5'2"), the day i left the hospital I weighed in at 261 pounds, today I weighed in at 212 pounds. Not bad at all for 3 months if i may say so myself. My BMI is now below 40. My blood sugars which were ranging in the high 300's with medication are now between 70-90. I no longer require any medications for high blood sugar!! HALLELUJAH!!About 3 weeks ago I started working! (Yes, even in this slum of an economy I found a job.) It's only part-time, but I figure part-time is better than NO time. Anyhow, getting out of the house and moving around is doing wonders for me. (I haven't worked in over 2 yrs) You wouldn't believe the energy that I have now. It's such a great feeling.
How bout dem Saints? Way to start out the season, kicking Brett Favre and his Viking team's ass, just like we did before we beat the Colts to win the SUPERBOWL. Anyhow, can I get a WHO DAT??? I love my Saints!!!
Lately, I have been thinking alot about Caylee (my niece who died the day I had surgery @ 17 days old) and my Aunt Judy (who died 5 days after my surgery) . . . I really miss both of them alot. And PLZ pray for my dad as he is in the hospital again with pancreatitis and a mass of some sort on his pancreas. The Dr said he can't rule out cancer until after they get the biopsy results.
On the upside, my family and friends have been so supportive. Actually a couple of guys from high school have started paying quite alot of attention to me. lol A dear friend tells me that I shouldn't give them the time of day cuz that didnt want anything to do with me when I was heavy. But anyhow, who knows!!! Next month I will turn 39 yrs old and my sister is taking me with her to her 20th high school reunion (mine was last year) and my goal is to be under 200 pounds and lookin good!!
PLZ feel free to leave your feedback (as long as you aint bashing my football team). GEAUX SAINTS!!
I bought the jeans in the regular women's department instead of the plus size department!! How do they look? I'm loosing my butt!
