I'M Back!!!

May 29, 2012

As you can see it's May 29, 2012 and I have been through a lot.  My band acted up it had to be released for a while and by the time I got an adjustment I had gained a good 65 lbs out of the 100.  But recently I have toughened up and by eating right and excercising I have lost over 20 bls.  Still have another 40 something to get where I was so happy and size 18 but hey! never give up.  I  will never give up. :)

Fall is here 8/20/10

Oct 20, 2010

Well, did a lot of clothes shopping and shoe shopping.  Bought a lot of boots, which now actual zipper up with no problem.
Enjoying the wheather, but I must admit it, it gets you a little lazier than usual.  The days become shorter, the air is chillier and you wish you did not have to go into the cold to go to the gym, but guess what I HAVE TO.  This last weekend, my friends and I crossed the the Brooklyn Bridge walking back and forth a good 4 miles.  Not too bad.  Tomorrow I have Zumba class and I have been trying to incorporate a half an hour three times a week of walking around the outside of the building I work in.  Going to a Halloween Party dressed as a sexy Fire Woman.  Can't wait, everything is very exciting and it feels like the first time I do things,  Since I am a new person the experiences are new as well.  See you soon Blog

End of Summer 9/9/2010

Sep 09, 2010

Usually this time of the year is a bit depressing since Summer is leaving but for the first time I am looking forward
to this Fall.  I welcome this Fall 100 pounds lighter.  Excited about fall fashion/jackets/boots and so on.  All of which
will surely look better on me this time around.  Not to mention being able to walk around NYC bundled up yet not looking like a bear.  See you around Macy's window soon......

Jean Shopping

Jun 30, 2010

Wow!  went  jean shopping last night.  Many years ago, I use to go the men's Dept. because they were the only ones that would fit me.  As time went by plus size stores opened and I was able to buy half decent jeans.  Still bulging here and there.  Finally last night I went to a regular store and purchased 2 pair of jeans that fit perfectly.  As a matter of fact I am posting a pic.  I am wearing black and white. The jeans are black.   I tell you all the jeans fit, if I had a lot of money I would of came out of that store with one of each color.  This does not mean all the other problems in my life disappear but it sure gives me a happy place to be when I needed it., and no matter how happy I feel.  I have to get my butt out there and get my excercise in.  This is a life change and therefore nothing is a given.  We have to keep working on this each and every day.

16 by the end of Summer???

Jun 07, 2010

Well folks,

I am happy to report that while clothes shopping on Saturday I saw that I am a def. size 18 now. The shirts actually closed fine around my boobs and my pants button up fine without cutting my circulation.  As I looked in the mirror sideway, wearing WHITE button down shirt I was trying on I almost broke into a song due the happiness I felt.  It was not hard to look at myself any more.  How great is that.  Not for anyone else but for me to be at pleased with myself.  Anyway one of my goals is to reach size 16 by the end of Summer.  It may be possible, stay tuned.  I have gone from a size 26 to a size 18 and feel like a freaking teen with lots of energy.  The more I do, the more I want to do.  I hope this is the healthy change for life I so desperately desired.  Well, lots of luck to all you guys struggling with weight issues every day as I.  God bless all and may we all continue on our way to being the best and healthiest we can be.

Pretty funny thing happened last night

May 03, 2010

I have now lost 82 pounds.  Last night I went on a date, I had talked to him on the phone and he had seen my recent pictures.  He actually told me (more than once during this date) that I should gain weight.  Can you believe it.??? Is this a joke I thought to mysel??  First nobody wanted you because you are too heavy, now this guys happens to like women who are very big.  Boy! dating is getting harder and harder these days.
I thought that was hillarious and had to post it.

How can they say that!

Apr 28, 2010

Just had to post this.  I was wondering if any of you ever got this comment from someone:

Why did you have surgery? Why didn't you just eat well and exercise?

Are they kidding?  Boy, does that make me angry!  Do they really think that if I did not have to go under the knife
I would do this to myself?

I know I should chuck it up people being  ignorant but it  is still so aggravating to someone like me that  have been
dieting since I was eight years old and have tried millions of diet, lost  at least a thousand pounds during my life tine
but was never able to keep it off.  I wish there was a way to make these people feel what we have felt when we were
our largest.  I guess we have to just smile and say maybe you don't know the half of it.
