Still plugging along
Jun 26, 2009
Well, it's been quite a long time since I have posted anything. Every once in a while I come and browse the site to see how things are changing and evolving. Nice to see there is still such a huge support system here. It helped me get through some of the highs & lows I experienced when going through my WLS - especially post-op.I am still working full-time and am enjoying the work. Finally found a place that I enjoy and have come to love the challenges and even the stresses of this profession. Nursing definitely isn't always easy, but I must admit it's something I get a lot of personal satisfaction from doing. I will be moving after the July 4th holiday to be closer to my boyfriend - wow - we've been seeing each other now for almost 2 years and it's been amazing. Been doing the long-distance thing off and on for the most part which hasn't always been easy but my company has facilities all over the USA and I was finally approved for a transfer. So I'll be closer to him now - rather than 5 hours, more like 15 minutes.
I'm still maintaining my weight - around 210. I weigh weekly and don't allow more than a 5 pound gain. I would still like to lose more but I think my WLS has gotten me just as far as it possibly can. I'm sure if I went back onto a stricter diet I could shed a few more pounds, but I just don't think I could do that long term at this point. However I'm hoping that once I get relocated I can start working out again which I think will help some - things were just WAY too chaotic after the divorce and multiple moves.
I still want plastic surgery - still need plastic surgery. Of course money is a huge factor with that. I know eventually I will have it done - sooner rather than later of course is my preference *lol* I think I would feel a lot better once I am able to get rid of this excess skin I hate so much. Still just not really comfortable in my own skin and I think I would feel better about myself if I could have the body I know is under the left over fat I can't get rid of no matter how much dieting and/or exercise I do.
Still have issues with food - still find myself grazing @ times or not eating as healthy as I should. Granted I don't binge eat like I used to (I can't) but still doesn't make the emotional eating or eating from boredom go away either. Guess that is a battle I will probably have all of my life.
