Well, this afternoon I did another hour on the treadmill!! I can't believe how relaxing it is to just zone out and walk!! Feeling Great!!!
Dec 12, 2008
I'm happy to report that since November 28th, I've lost 14 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And tonight I just did 60 minutes on the treadmill!! (2.8 miles..not that far for as long as I was on, but STILL!!) I'm happy!!!!Well...

They're officially on. For AT LEAST 2 YEARS!!!! The braces have been put on this afternoon...my self-conciousness as at an ALL TIME HIGH at this point but I'm hoping that will go away soon.
OH!! I almost forgot!!! The Bariatic Center called me yesterday to schedule so I got back to them today and have my first apppintment with Dr. Quinlin January 28th 2009!! It seems so far away!! 
Oh well..."Patience is a Virtue." Right?!??! lolCompliments...

I think that from this point on, everytime someone gives me a compliment, I'm going to blog it. That way..whenever I feel like crap or whatever, I can look back and see what great people I have around me!! I wish I could make it like a "tag cloud" though. Here's one: "Honey, you are so cute and pretty and you always smell so good!" Awwwww I love my honey!HELLO...

Well Tuesday I got my spacers put back in and they went in (and stayed in) just fine!! I'm happy to say I've been really restricting my diet and keeping up with watching what I eat. I've lost some more weight which is good and I went down 1 pants size!! Woooohooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!These Damn Spacers...
Dec 08, 2008
OK...so I go to get my impressions, photos etc done at the dentist today. I also have the 4 spacers inserted. They tell me this whole process takes about 45 mins total. An HOUR and a HALF later, I'm FINALLY done. It takes her longer she says cuz my teeth are so close together and my gums are very healthy, making it difficult to jam the spacers up into my gum line. So after that nightmare, I get to go home but I stop at Walmart to get some Listerine and stuff for dinner. It's not even 2 hours later, I'm finishing my dinner and I notice...I have no spacers on the left side of my mouth. GONE. SWALLOWED. Oh and one from my right side too. WTF?!!?!??! Well that was a waste of time and aggravation! I'm PISSED! (and the other one came out a few minutes later.GRRRR.) So tomorrow, I not only have to go for my regular cleaning, I'm gonna have to run BACK to Greensburg and do this ALL OVER AGAIN!
ARRRGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sweetness.

Ok...so maybe I'm becoming a "softy" in my years...but I thought this was one of the NICEST things someone has said to me (out of the blue) in a LONG TIME! "You know I dont wanna upset you or make you mad or make you uncomfortable ... I love being good friends with you ... if it wasn't for you I would not enjoy my job"
I liked that. It was sweet.
My Braces!!!

I'm so excited!!! I cant wait to get my braces on!!! The sooner I get them on, the sooner I can get them taken off!!! LOL
Orthodontist Appt. Today
Dec 05, 2008
Well, in keeping with the theme of my "screen name", I'm making changes elsewhere too! I just came back from my orthodontist appt and I'm getting braces on 12/12/08!!!! I'm so excited!! 
Straightening my teeth is not the issue, I have a crossbite and my midline is WAY OFF now because of a tooth I had pulled (because it was impacted) way back when I was 12! At that time, I started the process of getting an implant but stopped wearing the retainer and never had it fixed. Sooooo, now I'll have to wear FULL BRACES for 2 1/2 to 3 YEARS to move my teeth over to where they should be. And they're not the "pretty" CLEAR ones, NOOOOOO...I have to get the metal ones! Dr.Russo said my jaw muscles are so large and strong, that I would snap the ceramic ones clean off!!! 
LOL So that's what's goin' on!Pictures

Ok...in case anybody has noticed, I haven't posted any "full body" shots of me at my current weight. Well, I intend to, I just haven't reached that "comfort point" yet. It embarrasses me to no end and I just can't stand the fact that I let my weight get so out of control. And seeing pics of myself this big is traumatic. So..as I work this out in my head, (i.e. get the balls) I will be posting them. Just wanted to put that out there.About Me
