One year out and Happy New Year

Jan 01, 2009

Wow...what a year I have had...as I sit here reflecting on this past year I don't know where to begin...I first and foremost want to thank our Heavenly Father for all the blessing he has bestowed upon me and my family, also I would like to thank Dr. Currie for preforming my RNY on 12-19-08 and for all you on this page that have supported me.   I still can't believe that I have lost 104lbs and lost a total of 58"....It blows my mind....My yearly check-up was great....blood work continues to be a ok, and Dr. Weiger just told me to contiue doing what I am doing and I should still lose wight with out a lot of effort...I am not sure if I want to lose to much more...maybe another 10 pounds, but I will not be upset it I stay at my current weight.  He also told me that I can start looking for a plastic surgeon come springtime.  It all still seems like a dream that I don't want to wake up from...my hubby and children tell me all the time how proud they are of me...it's still kind of hard accepting compliments sometimes....but I still take it one day at a time...as my son just said, "MY LIFE MUST BE SPONSORED BY MCDONALD'S, CAUSE I'M LOVIN IT"...I really do love my life and count my blessings everyday....sorry for rambling, it's been a while, YEAH FOR ME.....Continued blessing to all of my OH friends...

Happy 40th B-day to me...

Aug 24, 2008

Well today I turned the BIG 40...boy how time flies....out with the thirties and being unhealthy and starting the 40's 90lbs lighter and a whole lot healthier....reflecting over the past several months...what an amazing journey...learning to eat all over again...not emotional eating, but eating to nourish my body...I do still sometimes find myself wanted to eat mindlessly, but I realize the old habit and divert myself before I have a chance to "indulge" in the old behavior...I still have rough moments, but I still strive to take one meal and one day at a time...I do have to be honest, I have been very laxed in my exercising and writing down what I eat...this is something I must do again...I feel better when I write down what I eat, because I have a visual account of my daily totals instead of an estimated guess...those two things I will work hard to incorporate back into my daily habits...blessings to you all..

Six Month's Out

Jun 27, 2008

It is hard to believe that it has been six months since my life changed for the better...were to start...first and most importantly I AM HEALTHY...YEAH...no cholestrol problem, no more diabetes, (my A1C is actually below 6) and my over all health is great...WLS has changed not only my eating habits, but I find that I am a lot more out going and confident with myself that I have ever been...I still have to "check" myself everyday because it is still a struggle not to FALL INTO OLD HABITS....but I continue to strive toward NEW habits...I am down a total of 75 pounds and I am extremely happy....I have not really lost anything over the last month, so I know I have to up my exercise and make sure that I am eating enough and not eating to much "not so good for me food".....my check up with Dr. Weiger was great...he is still very pleased with my progress and he told me that it is all up to me at this point...that scared me a little when he told me that....he said, that my "honeymoon stage is over".....my goal is to lose 35 more pounds, so I will keep positive and keep going day to day...My life is AWESOME....thank you Dr. Currie...the tool that you gave me has helped me release a lot of "baggage" and I have a new self worth and excitement for the future...blessings to you all......

I haven't updated in a while...I am almost 5 months out and today I stepped on the scale and was down 71 pounds...I can hardly believe it....I have had good days and bad days over the past 2 months...stalled and now losing again...I am realizing old eating habits are challenging....I haven't dumped, therefore I find my mind wondering to old comfort foods....boy what a mind game....I feel confident in realizing the "OLD HABITS" and look at what I have accomplished since WLS and there is nothing that tastes as good as I feel with 71 lbs gone....I will keep positive and stay strong and continue one meal and one day at a time....blessings...
