May 2012 Update!

May 29, 2012

Hello friends!

This is my annual update!

I am still doing quite well & am keeping an active lifestyle.
But, I must admit....My food addictions are still a daily struggle to make good choices.
Most of the time I have excellent food days, but sometimes I blow it with bad choices.
So.....I don't beat myself up about it....I just try to do better the next meal or the next day.

My current addiction is Dr. Pepper & fast food. I started drinking sodas & eating fast food kids meals last year & have paid a heavy price with a 20 pound weight gain from it. The only saving grace that keeps me from gaining more is my active lifestyle. Luckily, I teach aerobics & bodysculpting three times a week & play soccer once a week. I absolutely am PASSIONATE about exercise & love the endorphin rush! It's the BEST feeling ever....plus it keeps more pounds from piling up from my soda & fast food addiction.

What am I telling you? I am still fighting my food addictions & bad food behavior.
Can I stop it? Sometimes. Can I do better? Yes. But, I am human & allow myself to be human.
I have learned to accept my shortcomings, I love myself, my journey, & my hard fought battles of the bulge!!

If you are researching this surgery or have already had the surgery, know it is what you make it.
You are not expected to be perfect, you do you're best, you make lifestyle changes, you stick to the WLS rules  as best you can & enjoy you're new life! 

Reach for the stars! You only have one life......Live it & Love yourself no matter what size you are or what addictions you battle. You have the power to do GREAT things in life. Just believe in yourself & go for it!!!!
