Happy Birthday to me!!!!!!!!!!!
Mar 19, 2012
Well I survived the "birthday weekend". Started out Saturday morning at the "Chik" for mini's. Ate 2 w/o the bisquit and on the road to SC. We met up with my parents for lunch at Ruby Tuesday's. Had a slice of Richard's steak and was good to go.The fun started when my sibs and their families came over to mom and dad's for dinner. FATS ribs and chicken strips.
I could feel the eyes watching me on how much I was eating. Even my father commented on how much cake I ate. I knew this would happen, but it still hurt. Being judged by what I eat. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh.
They didn't know that I could only eat such as small amount of food and that I couldn't have anything to drink to wash my food down. They didn't know how I scraped out the sugarfree pudding from the inside of the cake and how I was nursing the cake as it melted in my mouth. They don't know how much my gut hurt from overeating my birthday cake. Oh well, there's always the next family function to bring out my family's disfunction.
On a more upbeat note, went to see Dr. DePeri for the 12 week follow-up and he is happy with my weight loss. Although I did get into a little trouble for not taking my omeprazole to prevent ulcers. I told him that I didn't lose any weight this week b/c Richard and I have been going to the gym alot. 4x last week, I am aiming for 5 this week. Also bought a very expensive sports bra-to keep the girls from bouncing all over the place.
While at dr Taylor's office for yet another sinus infection. I was looking at my weight on my chart. My highest weight was on 7/21/08 when I was 249 lbs. That was when thing were really bad for us. Richard was only getting short term disability from his job at Baptist and I couldn't find a job. Food was the only thing in my life I felt I was able to control at the time.
I am so grateful to God for allowing this surgery. Even if I don't ever lose another pound, I feel I have been given my life back. Thank you Abba Father!
