Almost 2 years out!!

Sep 14, 2010

hard to belive surgery was in January of 2009.
SO much has happened since then.

I've moved to a place i love, maintained my weight around 135-140lb (which i'm totally happy about)
i'm able to eat things i love in moderation, drink what i love in moderation and exersice and dance regularly still.

I've met the man of my dreams who tells me i'm the one. he's builds water features and insane rock installations by day and is an amazing dj by night. he's handsome, loves his momma and family and mostly loves me to bits and pieces.

For once things are finally in place the way I've always pictured them.
granted i still struggle with my weight loss everyday...i'm ashamed to admit I had to resort to surgery to lose weight but thats my secret shame I will always live with, i'm happy that i did do it though because my quality of life has greatly changed for the better. Its sad but true that thin people are treated differently but in this day and age its just the way it is. Living in the south has definatly opened my eyes to the plight of obesity far greater than ever before, though i'm fortunate to live in a very organic forward thinking little city. well all is well here. Hope all is well for everyone else!!

Nov already?

Nov 02, 2009

I'm down to about 140lbs. neat.
i wear a size 7 in pants.  xs shirts.
i feel like a million bucks for the most part.
Again, don't have much of an appetite again...but i think a broken heart has something to do with that.

DOes anyone else have a hard time eating? I seriously, can't eat unless i'm full throttle starving...and then i can only get a little food in. its pretty frustrating. I'm back to supplementing shakes in between "meals" ...they make me gag, but if i don't drink them, then i'm lucky if i get 400-500 cals in a day.

Met a wonderful guy back in June and we broke up recently. it was hard, it is very hard actually. i'm trying to work it out, and just when it seems like it ends we go in circles.

other than that, doing well...still working at Aveda. blah blah blah.
how is everyone else doing!?

so it finally happened

Sep 14, 2009

i'm about 9 months out or so.
and it happened....i got my appetite back and it bums me out.

sometimes my food choices are horrible, while other times they are spot on.
i found a great protein from GNC with a ton of fiber in it as well, it has about 170 cals and 10g"s of protein.
not a ton of protein, but i usually make it up threw out the day by snacking on a couple pieces of beef jerky (i have no idea why i love beef jerky so much) and having a great dinner of chicken, fish or lean beef.

but damn, i'm such a junk food junkie sometimes. thankfully, i still dump like crazy...so when i get stupid and eat 2 oreos my body hates me and it keeps me away.....

i'm maintaining at about 145-150ish...wish i could get down to about 13oish.
I will.
ive got to get my ass to the gym everyday again....work is killing me and the quest for a better job is horrible.

however, i have a great new boyfriend and life is pretty awesome otherwise.

yay! i love skinny katie!

7 months out!?

Aug 17, 2009

Holy shit, cant believe so much time has passed.
i'm about 20lbs from goal and i'm feeling great.
i go to planet fitness about 3-5x's a week and do cardio and weight training, holy shit, if i hadnt been so lazy from the get-go, id probably be at goal, but honestly, i'm not complaning.
i bought my first 2 peice bathing suit since high school yesterday and besides the stretch marks on my belly (which are getting very light from tanning) i feel really good. (i did buy a litle skirty cover up thingee though cuz my thieghs def have some wobbly bits on them!!!)

i'm wearing between a size 8-11 depending on the brand of jeans. My shirts range between  small and medium (depending) and my boobs....MY BOOOBS shrunk so much...this bums me out. I also don't have an effin bra that fits proper either!
but its cool...i'll find one eventually.

i can't believe i can go into ANY store i want and buy clothes. Charlotte Russ. Wet Seal, H&M, and basically any juinors dept i want. IT RULES ! ! ! ! ! !  

this surgery was hands down the BEST thing i have ever done in my entire life....my look finally matches my personality.
LOVE IT!

hey hey!

May 30, 2009

living in Virginia now and things are good.
waiting for my new health insurance to go threw and my birthday is next week.
i'm down to 165lbs and wear about a size 10 or so. but all pants run differently
so my closet is filled with everything from a size 9-13. juniors/misses its all different.
the gap makes there pant size run small as does old navy, but i have fallen in love
with Levi ultra skinny jeans (i can wear my boyfriends size 33's and they look hot!)

so in total i guess i am down about 79lbs since january 1st.
INSAANITY!!!!!
i look and feel great and this was the best thing i have ever done.
word up!

Good times for a change

Mar 24, 2009

down about 60lbs in 2 months.
that feels good.
under 190lbs....i magically lost 3lbs last night.
i swear as soon as i start ranting about not losing weight i do.
i've lost a bunch of inches too. my mid section and my boobs and ass....all shrinking.
my poor boobs....they are shrinking. but even when i was young and thin my boobs were about a "C" cup
so i hope that is still the same.
i'm down to a 14 or so in jeans....even my FEET are shrinking.
needless to say, i don't have much clothes and thats ok. i shop at the thrift store for things and thats fine by me, until i get down to a smaller point. i'm hoping to be down another 40-50lbs by June. [wishful thinking, right?]
My 29th b-day is in June so i want to look extra hot.
I am moving in about a week and a half back to Roanoke VA. Sudden move, but my rent got jacked up and i can't afford to live up here anymore. So we found a new place, jobs and everything back in Roanoke [my unofficial home]....
I'm very excited actually. I have to find a new surgeon though and that bums me out.
Anywho, i posted a couple new pics that aren't too bad, but more to come.

also more good news- my calves have shrunk enough to wear BOOTS over my jeans.
So hot.......
annnnnnnd dudes are noticing me again.
it's been super beneficial for our music.

feeeling not bad.
its been a rough month and i had my leave of absense extended, because i become severely depressed.
am on wellbutrin now...which takes away any appetite i might have had.
very very hard to eat. and everything makes me sick.
i feel like an involuntary bulimic....
i am 1 lb away from being under 200lbs and in about 30 days i have lost 28lbs plus the 16 pre-op.
i'm hoping i can be as successful this month. I have an elliptical machine in my living room now...
so i watch cartoons and haul my ass. i can do about 20 mins a day right now before i feel really lightheaded and weird.
overall, its been rough. taking a vacation next week to visit friends in Virginia.
looking forward to it so much.
i need a break from my house.
