Hi Oh family:  It has been a while since i have been here to share my journey. So many things have happened in my life. 
Let me first start with saying I am a Star as of 9/13/09. This was a personal goal i had been working on most of my life. I am still unemployed, but I knew that I was gonna be off for a while which i did not welcome at first but I have enjoyed since. God knows what he is doing.  Next year I will be back in the workforce for sure. I moved from Detroit to Southfield in December. I did not think i was going to like it but I fell in love with the area.  Now I am moving to Farmington Hills, a smaller place but it is what it is. 


I have stopped consciously dieting.  I am use to my food intake now, I watch what I eat, I eat what don't make me sick or upset from past experience.  I am still working on the goal of cooking everyday. U would think that I was trying to be like Julia Child.  I just find it difficult to try to eat the same thing over and over.  I do cheat but not alot.  When I have a taste for something, like a big fat juicy steak, i got get it even though I know I can't eat the whole thing.  But oh well. 


Shopping, I am in love with Dots and Rainbow.  I love that I can fit into those clothes. Yes, I still go to the plus size department because some items are made funny and you have to get a size larger but its only a number.  I wear a 14 pants now.  I believe I moving into a 12/13 by January.  My weight loss is down to about 2 lbs every 2 -3 weeks with variations of no weight loss at all.  My feet have went down tremendously. I don't have to wear wide with shoes anymore, and I find this quite shocking and my rings have to be adjusted.

This is my joy right here, remember those 52G's "the twins"-- they are gone.  Yes, I am wearing a size 40I bra, don't let the I fool you.  U can look at me and see that my breast are smaller.  I can see everything when i look down now. 




Now, this gas thing, i still can't get with that.. After eating, my stomach starts grumbling like a volcano, like i just did not eat! Then the after blast, will clear a room.  My family has gotten use to it, we laugh, but trust me, i have to warn people when i spend the night that it is powerful and not to be offended.  I know this is attributed to something that I am not taking in. 




I am glad that I took the step to change myself physically. Yes, it was and still is challenging because people think they see you, but they really don't, because you look different on the outside, you are still the same person you were on the inside before the change.  I for one have the same goals, dreams, likes and dislikes. Well maybe, my stomach control what i like or dislike in food, but anything else, by opinions, values, morals are still the same.  People seem to judge by sight, not by insight and I find that truly amazing that with all the knowledge that is out here, people can't figure that out.  God is and always has been the light in my life. My husband and family are helping guiding the way too, without them, i could not be me.


I am no longer challenged by walking, running, going up and down stairs, getting into small cars, fitting in chairs, sitting at tables or just simply sitting in a chair.  My overall health is good. I am scheduled to see my doctor this month. I do need my levels in every department checked, no longer on the blood pressure meds, probably need to find a medication to make my but grow (lol!) but otherwise I feel good.   Until my next post.  Peace, love and happiness, stay strong, don't give up.
