Update on the "new" me!
Apr 20, 2011
Wow.....can't believe it's been 13 months since I started this journey! It's been one hellofa ride believe me. Can't say I've had anything in particular that's been extremely adverse up to now. My doctor, Dr. Zare has performed since my surgery...surgery on 3 people that I've sent his way....and one more in the process as we speak. The good doc is such a wonderful person. I thank God everyday for finding him for me, and all the others that will benefit from his expertise! If anyone in the San Jose area, or even Monterey County is looking into this surgery.....this is the man to see! Okay, enough on the good doc.....back to me. I'm so happy with my life these days. I'm hopeful and am striving to remain on this journey on a permanent basis. I don't ever want to go back to the old me. I'm just blown away when I look at all my old pics and see the transformation, for that matter see, really see what I looked like back then. Why is it that I never saw the morbidly obese person staring back at me? Why did I never see her in the full length mirrors I looked into back then? I can't figure that one out! It blows my mind about that aspect of my obesity previously. At any rate....I am an all new person these days and I for one am so grateful for all that I've achieved thus far. I still have 35 more pounds I'd like to have gone, but, I'm taking it one day at a time. I'm eating healthy, taking my vits and drinking tons of fluids! Exercising has become a way of life. Can't say I'm obsessed with it, cause I love walking (at least 3 miles a day at home), but, hate the lunges, and squats that I've learned to do. I get so sore from it. Wondering when the soreness will stop?! I've just started doing the lunges and squats and man oh man, I know why I haven't ever done them up to now! So, if any of you newbies take a gander at this post....know this; Life is what you make it. If you go down this journey, try to make it the best you can, one day at a time! Don't sweat the small stuff, don't stress on numbers, take your vitamins, eat right, sleep right, and exercise right! I love my children so much for supporting me on this journey, they really haven't a clue what their support and pats on the back have meant to me. Thank you to my husband for loving me any way I am.....that means more to me than anything my husband can ever give me....cause I can be a terrible bitch at times!
