UP DATE 1 YEAR LATER
Oct 20, 2008
First and Foremost ....This was the best decision I have made since going to nursing school.
It has not been a struggle. I have not been able to workout in months due to my work schedule.
Work has been challenging !!! I love it with all my heart but it does wear on me at times. I have caught myseIf "stress eating" at work. I am excited that I am starting a new schedule that will allow me to workout again. I am hovering in the low 220's. I am so close to the teens...I cannot wait !!! I am now trying to get my diet in order. I am now at a good restriction.
I am hoping to have a 36 inch waist and I hope to have 19 inch arms by Christmas.
There have been so many changes In my life. It has changed my social life emensly !!!! I joined a social networking site. I have several very good friends from it. I started going out to a bar for the first time in out 10 years. I am less self concious in social situations and have been able to give encouragement to other's about getting the surgery. I have a friend from my social group who is having a lap band placed. I am feeling much more comfortable in the sex department. I am getting much more attention from YOUNG guys.
I still look at myself and think that I am still fat. But even that is starting to change.
