Six month surgiversary

Feb 13, 2009

Well, I haven't been blogging so I'll use this post to catch up to now and hopefully I'll get a little better at updating this blog.  On 8/13/08 I had Lap-Band surgery.  I weighed 280 lbs, I was miserable with my weight and my life.  My weight affected everything my attitude and my ambitions.

Now, fast forward to today.  Six months later.  I'm 1/2 way through my 2nd semester of nursing school, I'm down 31 lbs and I have hope that every bit of the weight I want to lose will come off and stay off.  My life is changing at lightening speed and I'm loving it. 

I respect my body for what is can do now.  It's averaged a loss of 1.2 lbs per week, it's stayed healthy even though I haven't treated it good for the past 38 years.  I can run and walk without difficulty, I can sit in most chairs now without spilling over or getting stuck.  It's fun to see my clothing size go down and not up. 

This summer my goals are to get to 199 and:

Take my children to an Frontier City Amusement Park for the first time and not worry if I'll fit on the rides.
Take my children swimming more
Finally leave Lane Bryant and Fashion Bug Plus behind and shop in mainstream stores for my clothing.
