Another new semester

Jan 07, 2009

Our university started a new semester this week. Classes officially started today. I have only one Wed/Friday class and it's in the late afternoon. It frees up my mornings and early afternoon...which is nice. It gives me a chance to eat lunch in the cafeteria and then work on my own school work. I read did miss the students over Christmas break...it was nice to be back.

I'm almost a year out now. Last year at this time, I was soooo excited for my surgery. At the same time, I was very miserable at my weight. I can remember being short of breath a lot and struggling to go up and down the stairs at work. I can also remember NEVER eating in the cafeteria because it was all fried, buttery, greesy foods. Now, I LOVE eating there!

Today as the first day I've eaten in the cafeteria since the end of November. Most of the ladies were eating no-dressing salads or plain chicken wraps. I was eating pizza. As I walked up to the table one of my coworkers said "OMG...did you LOSE weight over the holidays?!?!?" I said "yeah, about 2lbs." She said "You're getting so tiny." I didn't really go on from there. As I sat there eating lunch, I listened to weight gain stories. The holidays reak havok in the lives of dieters. I remember those days...and I'm glad they're GONE!!
