I really can't believe that today is my second anniversary/birthday (as i like to put it) since my surgery.  I am amazed on the journey I took (we all have taken).  I can honestly say I have never made a better decision in my life.  I thank God for his wisdom and guidence.  I thank my wonderful family and friends for their support and of course I thank my OH family.  Love you peeps

I just went to pick up my take out food from Fisherman's Feast in Shelby, NC

I ordered chicken and shrimp with little to no oil or butter.  It was swimming in butter.  I didn't blame the person who waited on me.  But I did call back to talk to the OWNER of the restaurant and told him of the situation.  HE Told me that I was making it difficult for HIM by.  I could not believe he had the audacity to tell me that.  I explained that if I had ate that I would get violently ill.  THe little s.............. was like so, you made it difficult for me.  So for those of you please don't let anyone do this to you.  It is our right to look out for ourselves and no I mean no other restaurant has ever treated me that way and they should not treat us in that way.  His explanation is that this was a seafood restaurant.

I'm sorry for the attitude but we all need to be able and say I can't do that anymore. 

Well I went to the doctor today.  I've lost 160.8 lbs so far and i'm in their range of a success.  I'm still wanting to be smaller in some areas.  I did get into a size 14 pants the other day and a size large shirt.  It was a wonderful feeling.  The drs nurse was even encouraging this time around.  That is about all i wanted to say.  lots of love to all

I'm happy as a lark today.  Even though this wasn't one of my immediate goals i still had to share.  Today is the official 150 lbs lost.  I'm so excited.  Bouncing up and down excited.  My nut gave me a weight range of where they would consider my surgery a sucess.  The weight range was 170 to 190.  Well I weigh 187 so I guess I'm successful.  Last week I was really thinking of putting my next goal at 180, will rethink on that some more.  And according to the bmi indicator I'm just overweight.  not obese or morbid obese.  Praise be.  My other new news is that I wore a skirt on Saturday that was a large.  OH MY.  I am currently in 16 or 18.  mainly stretchy 16s the 18s seem to be to big but some 16s are too small.  Go figure

well that's my news on the home front.  Thank you to all of my oh friends. Love you bunches

hi

i got impatient last week when i saw that i was within 2 pounds of being under 200.  So like the idiot that I am I weighed everyday until my scale read under 200.  It happened on Mothers day.  So I went and told my mom.  We tried on new clothes.  I'm in a 18 now and some not many stretch 16s.  I was happy and thrilled.  Monday, the normal day that I weigh in, well lets just say that it could have been the time of the month for me.  I gained 2 pounds.  I didn't eat 2 lbs worth so I'm guessing it was water weight. 


My mother being excited for me told her family.  oops.  But I weighed this morning and I am under 200 again.  Yes.  My treat for this is to join a tanning bed for a while at least and get some color back into me.  Yeah.  That means I've accomplished 2 goals.  Under 200 and to do things that I normally don't do. 

Just wanted my friends here to know.  Thank you all for the encouragement you have given me.

i've had a bad week this week with the weight loss.  It is actually the first bad week.  So I'm not trying to get frustrated.  Had some sad news that my first boss in accounting has bladder cancer.  They consider me like a daughter and it hurts a lot to think about it.  I know I've been lucky that they are still here but it hurts just the same.

Some good news is that I'm in single digit undies.  I know TMI.  But hey we talk about everything else.  That is about the only thing good this week.

talk to you all soon

I had a very pleasant surprise today.  I help out with 2 bowling assocations.  One youth and the other as a rep for the youth in an adult association.  My youth president told me today that I'm being nominated in to the youths hall of fame.  I 'm in shock.  It is a very nice honor.  Sometimes I don't feel like I should be recognized for it because it doesn't seem like I do that much.  But I wanted to share.

Hi.  My update for the day.  I went to my doctors office in Hickory today for my 4 month ck up (which was actually 5) and found out that I've lost a total of 112 pounds.  I knew it was around there but always happy to have it official.  My nut tells me that I'm doing great and ahead of schedule.  When we were discussing my vits and everything she was smiling and told me that she loves it that I'm actually following their insturctions.  She also said that  I'm fantastic.  Wish some others would see that.  LOLSo I go visit my doctors nurse because well lets just say that since my surgery I've seen him for a total of 2 seconds when he popped his head into the room.  Very discouraging.  Anyway the nurse tells me that I'm right on track but have a  loooong way to go.  She also told me that my protien was in range but a little low.  My nut told me that it was fine.  Who do you believe.?

Also found out Friday that I need to go and get another mamogram in 6 months.  A little freaked but not to bad.

thank you for all of your support and friendships

I Was setting some goals for me and evidently i didn't hold my tongue correctly. It has said that I accomplished a goal and I haven't.  Sorry for those that got it.

Take care

I'm there.  I hit losing 100 pounds.  I want to thank all of you that has given me support.  I really started doubting myself.  But as I said Friday I was going to quit bugging myself about it.  You know its bad when you get on your own nerves.  I've been jumping up and down all day.  I had to work a bowling tournament so who knows.  I may have made a bigger fool of myself than I thought.  But I'm there now.    no my next goal is to be in the oneunder club.
