5 Months...

Jan 19, 2009

I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas and that the new year is treating you well so far.

I have to be quite honest....I was so busy living life throughout December that my surgiversary came and went and I never even thought about it. What a victory to have come such a long way in only 5 months that I don't even remember it anymore:)

It's been quite a busy month for me. My estranged husband came to visit from Korea for a week. He arrived in TX on the 20th. My son's 5th bday party was on the 21st. Surgiversary that I forgot about on the 22nd. Christmas, Trevor went back to Korea, 5 year well check for Griffin and bday pics, etc. etc.

In this 5th month I only lost about 13 pounds, which seems to be the average for me over the last few months. Total from highest weight is 90 pounds, date of surgery is 80 pounds. I don't know about inches because I just haven't managed to find time to measure. But I can tell I'm definitely shrinking. I can fit into 16s pants, large shirts, and I bought a tankini today at Target that is a JRs large:)!!!!!!!! I only do pic updates every other month because I can't tell enough of a difference and then I mentally abuse myself over it. So new photos coming in a few weeks for my 6 month surgiversary...

On the 16th I'll turn 31. I am looking forward to what 2009 brings to my life. At this point I'm still really not sure what is going to happen with my marriage. Trevor wants  to work things out, but for obvious reasons I have reservations about his honesty and have severe trust issues with him that I don't know can be overcome. I feel like I would like to try to stay together if by some miracle we could move past the last 5 months, but I just don't know. I'm wondering if maybe he just isn't lonely because of the holidays and he's got winter time blues. So I'm taking things VERY slow with him and pretty much continuing on with my life as I've already planned without him. School, Vegas in March to see Dr. A, European tour in the summer. I will not ever place my happiness and self-worth into another person's hands for the rest of my life!!!!!!!

Happy New Year to you all!!! Sorry I've  been gone for so long. I'll update you again in about 3 weeks for my 6 month and I'll post some new pics and measurements...

Love always,  Lisa G.
