Terrible at Updating....
Jan 23, 2008
OK...I am so terrible at updating this page. I frequently look at the pages of other OH members and lurk on the message boards, but I haven't done my part in keeping up with things....so here's my resolution....I will do better from now on!
I find myself looking at this site when I need encouragement, which has been frequently in the last month or so. My weight loss has slowed down and I get discouraged and afraid that I won't lose anymore. I need reassurance from others who have gone before me that the weight will continue to come off and that there is nothing to worry about.
On a positive note....
I started a Body Pump class at the gym last week and love it! I am really hoping to tone up and get rid of some of the saggy skin that I have on my upper arms, abdomen, and legs. My goal is to be confident wearing a swimsuit this summer. I am going to continue working at it and see where I get.

One last post for today...
One of the members gave the web address for a site that allows you to type in your information and it gives an estimate of your weight loss month to month. According to several members who replied, this was extremely accurate. I put my information in and broke down in tears! Tears of joy! And believe me, I am not a crier! Anyway, the prospect of being able to lose weight that quickly gives me so much hope. I could be back to my "old self" in a matter of a year. I can't believe it. This surgery is a God send and I am so thankful for it.
I have spent a lot of time looking at the before and after photos on this site. IT is unbelievable to see the progress that these people have made. I can hardly imagine that being me one day.
One last thought...I think I'm freakin' addicted to this site.
All I have done for the last few days is spend my free time looking at blogs and posting. I guess I'm just excited about the process. I am also a bit of an information hog. I like to know literally EVERYTHING about anything I do of this nature. Guess you can't be too informed, right?

Just my thoughts for today...

Well, I have 2 friends on this site now and it feels great! Believe it or not, this is my first experience with any type of blog or message board. I have always just been too busy, or not really interested I guess. I can't seem to keep myself from visiting this one every day. I need the support of this website and the wonderful people who are a part of it so much righ now. I am on an emotional rollercoaster, excitment, fear, anxiety, all rolled into one.
The main thought that has been on my mind is how exciting it will be to finally be able to shop in a regular store again! I didn't realize how much I missed it until this week. I love clothes and fashion and shopping. I can't wait to be able to wear all of the trendiest clothes again and not have to modify the trend to suit my plus size body. This thought just makes my so happy I can hardly sleep at night and I haven't even had my surgeon consult yet. I don't know what I'll do if I am turned down for the surgery for some reason....
