Below 200!!!

Feb 06, 2010

I haven't written in forever!   Its no wonder, though.   I had a bleeding ulcer in November, followed by gall bladder removal the first week of December followed by complications of a liver leaking bile followed by emerergency exploratory surgery (giant incision up my belly!!)  Now its February and I am dealing with pain in my entire body!!   I don't know where its coming from.   My family doc has gone back in the military and so I'm seeing someone new - its like starting over...   She says I am beginning menopause.   Well doesn't that beat all!!!   She's also checking for vitamin deficiencies before deciding that I have fibromyalgia (the aches and pains).

OK now that all the complaining is done, I have great news!   I am below 200!   I haven't been there in many years.   I am wearing 16/18 clothes and am just as pleased as I can be with the way the weight loss has proceeded.  Despite the dificulties I have had I am still convinced that this was a good decision.    I love having a lap again.   I love being able to cross my legs.   I love being able to by Large and XLarge clothes off the rack.    I am so happy that even though I am still overweight, I am no longer morbidly obese.

God has been with me through all of this and I am convinced now more than ever that He is watching over me and I am in His hands.   My thanks be to Him.
