150# GONE!!!!!!!!

Jul 10, 2009

I have been working my ass off trying to get the last 20# off. And although it's been hard as hell, it"s do-able. I had to join the gym back in the middle of May because the weight was just stopping and I wasn't through yet! I didn't pay $11,000.00 to NOT reach at least under 200#!!!!!! So I guess I got a little bit mad at myself and joined the gym and took my frustrations out there. IT'S WORKED!!!!!!!! =)

I remember back when I was planning the VSG in MX. I told my bf at the time, "If I can just lose to under 250#, or if I could lose say, 150#, that's a WHOLE person! I bet I would FEEL amazing!!!!!!" And here I sit about to cry cause I made, you could say, my first REAL goal! For a woman to have had 3 kids, and got up to nearly 400# I really don't look that bad without clothes on, considering...Of course I have some extra skin that will need to be removed. And my PCP says that I'd probably lose about 3" everywhere if I did have it removed. But alas, I need lots of money for that cause my insurance sucks!!!!

I'm sitting here right now about in tears! It's an amazing and proud personal moment for me =) I really can't believe I'm even sitting here typing this right now, I probably would've been dead if not for the VSG and the LORD willing by now. I was a "walking time bomb" my cardiologist had said. This time last year I couldn't even walk to my mail box without feeling as though I was gonna pass out! And now I get up every morning, go to the gym for 2 hours, and sweat my ass off! I can walk a brisk 2 miles without getting winded, I have even started running a little bit on the tread mill. RUNNING! I haven't ran since I was a teen!!!!!!! I wasn't this proud of myself when I graduated with my LPN, and probably won't be as proud when I graduate with my RN!!!!!!! To go from having CHF, HTN, and edema in my legs so bad, I'd cry when I walked because it hurt so bad. I'd need a buggy to hang onto when I'd go to WalMart! Now I'm running! OMG! HE is good to each and every one of us, and gives us the capacity to do ANYTHING in this world we WANT to. It's all in how bad do WE want it!
GOD is GOOD!!!!!!!!!!! And today is a great, blessed day for me!
Now lemme close this thing before I blow up my computer with all this water flowing from my eyes! =)
Thank you GOD, OH friends, VSG, Dr. Aceves, and ME!!!! =)
I still got 30+ #'s to go, but it'll come, I just have to be patient, and persevere 
GOD BLESS US ALL!!!!!!!!!!
