Then and now...

I have been realizing as my body has been changing, so has my perspective on things... I saw a few pictures of myself about a year ago and wow! I look so different! I guess I always knew I was larger then normal, but I never thought I was THAT big, I guess I kinda looked at myself like Jack Black looked at Gwyneth Paltrow in Shallow Hal... It wasn't until this last week when I saw some pictures of what I used to look like that I had an AH HA moment... I will post those pictures when I am not at work!

Just an update!

So its been just about 3 months now from my surgery and the total weight is.... (drum roll please..........) 35 POUNDS! Things are going good, and I continue to realize news things every day, there are a lot of things that just are not worth it to eat... bagels are one of them! I try it, and then pay for it later, there are however, some safe foods that I eat on a daily basis... and I find so much comfort in them! I really need to get my butt into the gym though and start working on firming up, if I just found the time to start working out I would lose weight even faster.... maybe once I quit one of my many jobs:) Thank you all for your support with it all, its been a huge help!

What a change already!

Well I know its been a while since I last wrote so I figured IF anyone reads this I should give an update... 3 weeks ago I went in for the first time and I got the band tightened, it was a really hard 3 weeks, basically I couldn't keep anything down at all so I stuck with spinach smoothies, and soup! Y-U-M-M-O so I went back in yesterday and he took some fluid out so I could actually eat regular food... thank heavens cause I had the BEST catfish today for my birthday at Famous Dave's! Well, I have finally reached the 30lbs down mark and I feel so much better already, my self confidence is up, my energy levels are at a higher level, and I just all around feel so much better already... imagine 30 MORE lbs off! I can't wait!!!!!
