Personal Reflections

Jul 06, 2009

Did I ever think that life would be happy all the friggin time??  Yep I guess I did.  The past 2 weeks have really put some things in perspective for me.  I know what I want, but I can't have it YET!  I am so impatient.  I know it will happen eventually.  I think I was living in a fantasy world for a month or two.  Thinking this major life change was coming soon.  I was knocked down a peg or two. 

The reason for being so vague??  I do not know who I know who reads this. 

Nothing has changed in the weight loss front for a few weeks.

One year baby!!

I am so grateful for this surgery.  
I am so grateful for my parents.  
I am so grateful for my kids. 
I am so grateful for my wonderful boyfriend.
I am so grateful for my co-workers.
Without all of you, I would have never made it thus far!  You people are what life is all about.  Big hugs and kisses to you all!

This past year has been wonderful and hard all at the same time.  I really really really miss eating!  Here is a updated pic  :) and current stats.



Starting Weight = 307
Current Weight = 155
Total Loss = 152

Camera Fool??

Mar 17, 2009

I was always so shy.  Hated to have my picture taken.  I have seen these 2 sentences in almost every WLS blog i read.  And it is the hurtful truth.  We know we are fat.  We hate being fat.  And we hate to see ourselves fat!  So why waste valuable camera space??  I so wish I would have been better about taking the progress pics.  I really don't have many pics of my body pre WLS.  I love to have my picture taken now.  I really see the difference in my body by looking back at old pics.  Here is one of my biggest pics.  I looked so miserable.  I can see it in my eyes.  I was dreading the flash of that camera.  Cause I knew it would capture the way I looked for everyone to stare at and mock. 



And a more recent one.



Current Stats are ...
Starting Weight = 307
Current Weight  = 177. 
Total Weight loss = 130 POUNDS!!
Shirt size L. 
Pants 16.
Shoe size went down a size and a half.  Holy cow!  I didn't realize how much fat was in my feet!  From a size 8W to a 6 1/2 regular.
Feeling FABULOUS!

I need a new drivers licence pic.  Maybe I will go down there next week for them to get a shot of my mug!!

Mardi Gras!!

Feb 23, 2009

Had a blast yesterday at the D'Iberville parade.  Kids always love that one because it is smaller than the FAT Tuesday parades and they can span out a little better.  Here is a few pics.



This is one of my kids waiting in the back of the truck for the parade to start.


This one is of my daughter in pink, my son sitting on the tire in the back of my truck sulking like a 13 year old...lol, My boyfriend Gene and his son Trey.

Till next post!  Laissez les bon temps rouler!!

Busy Busy Busy BEE!!

Feb 20, 2009

You do not realize how much there is to do in life...Until you can do them all.  I have had so many wow moments since I began this journey.  It is the most wonderful thing I have ever done for myself.  Wanna see the smile that is plastered on my face almost every stinkin moment of every single day??  Ok, but you asked for it  :)




Yep, Thats' me!  Smilin like a fool!  I even wore a dress to work today...first time ever!  LOL

Ok...here are my current stats!  Weight is 185.  Jean size is a 16 and shirt size is a large, sometimes a XL, depending on the cut.  So almost 8 months out and I am down 122 pounds.  I still want to get about 50 pounds off.  No rush!  

Is everyday a bed of fresh smelling roses?  Hell no.  I don't want to paint a picture of "this is the easiest thing in the world".  I still make mistakes.  I pick the wrong foods.  I will *gasp* have a drink every now and again.  But...I know when to stop and when I am making poor choices.  I am concience of them.  I AM HUMAN!  If you listen to some of the people on this site. They NEVER make mistakes.  I am not a drone.  I don't want to live my life scared of a potato chip or a cookie.  All in moderation.  That is something I didn't have before.  I didn't know how to take my hand out of the bag till it was empty.  I can now eat 2 or 3 SINGLE potato chips and satisify my craving.  Put the bag away and not think about them again.  

One more pic..because it's my blog and I can  




Till next time~~  PEACE!  Happy Mardi Gras!

Holidays

Dec 17, 2008

I haven't had much to post about lately.  My life is just that..my life.  I do the same things day in and day out.  Work, home, Work, home.  I have never been much of a shopper.  I HATE to shop.  That makes the holidays a menace for me every year!  I dont know why I dont just throw my hands up and forget the whole damn holiday.  I do know why!  My kids love Christmas.  I really love to see the look on the smiling faces on Christmas morning.  That said..Bah Humbug!

I am still loving my RNY.  I am down to 201 or 202 depending on what day it is..grrr..lol.  That is down 105 pounds! I feel great.  I am doing stuff I haven't been able to do in years.  For example sit indian style(how P.C. is that?). I need to get some new pics uploaded.  I'm just lazy!  Here is a pic from the Company Christmas Party.

UMMM k?

A few things about me you may not know:

1)  I NEVER lie!

2) I NEVER cheat!

3) I NEVER steal!

4) I ALWAYS try to treat people with respect.  Now after you have shown you do not deserve it.  You will NOT be getting any respect from me. 

5) I BELIEVE in Karma! It will come back and bite you in the ass!

These are the 5 basic rules I live by.  I was raised this way.  I will not apologize for it. 

So the reason for this post you may ask??  I do NOT understand why not ask me if you want to know something? I am pretty much a open book.  I don't really have any secrets. Please don't talk behind my back about things that you have no idea about!  ASK me straight up.  I will give you the most honest answer I can.  You may not like the answer, but it will be a truthful one!!

Have a good day!

Another day at work...I am just so needing a few days off.  I am at the end of my rope with work.  I am loaded with stuff to do and no motivation to get any of it done. 

I am TIRED!  I think I might need to step the vitamins up or something.  I can sleep for 10 hours straight and still feel like I didn't get enough sleep.  I realize that is part of the journey.  But, damn enough already!  I need to get focused and not be so freakin tired.
