Yup.... I had to wait it out... I'm 2 weeks out and...... drum-roll plz (blllaaaabbbbmmmmm) I'm 22pounds down!
I'm happy. But i'm Not too happy with the way i'm startin to look. I've always been top heavy with a lil bottem but now i'm REALLY top heavy. My body is even more funny lookin now than ever! I am 251.... and I'm tryin to appreciate.
I've been doin alot of waitin around. Just waitin on the pain in my side to go away so that i can work out and walk this upper weight off.
You guys wish me luck!

TOmorrow is my day
.... I'm for thankful to God for this second chance at a healthy and happi life! 
I'm washin clothes and cleanin my place, doin my hair and packin my bag for surgery. Im still a lil in disbelief that i'm goin to do this to myself. My mom is so proud of me.
I've stayed strong around her... what she doesnt know is that i've been thinkin hard about everything and I've shed some tears.
It's here 
and I welcome this new life with open arms! bring on the weight loss, the cute clotheS and the sexy ass men!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WISH ME LUCK

...MEAT!!!!!!
THIS DIET IS KILLIN ME. I'm so used to just going to Jack n the box
to get a steak melt when i'm hungry. I'm so hungry.
Eating salads and puddings and jello's and soups is just not getting it! Tonight i may have to make me some cabbage with some bacon bits. ( if i can have that)
This is getting real. and it keeps hitting me that next week is it... I'll have to welcome a new La Rena. Thats a lil scary.
Being that i've had 23 yrs to get used to being large, and learning to except the treatment, and disrespect big people get. so I'm so nervous and blinded 
right now about my future. I hope i'm not the only one who has felt this way.
whew!

Theres this guy I've been friends with for a yr now. He has a girlfriend, BUT he always with me. we go out to dinner, movies, u name it. things u would think he'd be doin with his gurl, hes doing with me.
I care about him, I really do. just recently it happened!!!
we became intimate.... he loves me for who I am. Told me he's goin to be at the hospital all three days that I'm there after surgery.
I'm trying not to fall for an already taken man.
But the chick he's wit dont want him. Told him she wants an open relationship. 
She just wants his money when shes down and out. But when he comes into hard times. Where is she and why the &*$% is he callin me? I honestly can not see myself with him, but i hurt to see him being Used and neglected. he doesnt deserve this treatment.
being juggled back in forth among her other men.
I cant wait to heal up from surgery i'm takin a train trip to my birth place and to vist my fam in aug. I'm goin to Queenz NYand i'm goin to take my home boy. I'm goin to show him that he does not have to continue to try and find happiness in this chick who doesnt really want him... love is sooo blind.
I had to get this off my chest.
