Hello World.
Feb 19, 2009
It has been forever since I last entered in my profile.. Life has flashed before me and its already near the end of February 2009.. Wow..Well to catch up. I've lost almost 85 lbs.. I fluctuate from 160 to 163. Still looking to lose another 20 lbs.. Then I'll really be what my ideal weight was when I had my daughter what 25 years ago. A lot of changes on my body.. Some hanging skin: my bodacious boobies are no longer 40D's they are like 38C and very prunie, my neck lost its elasticity, my inner thighs and my belly flabby and lost my butt completely. But you know what, I am extremely happy. I can fit in a size 13 pants loosely and already considering to get a 11/12 cuz they are so loose. I figure by next year I can save up some duckies and nip & tuck where I cant firm up.
Health wise I'm doing great. Must monitor my iron levels still but otherwise I'm fine. No more sleep apnea, no diabetic threats, blood pressure has normalized and cholesterol in great range. I have been blessed having this procedure done. Even though I've endured some rough spots, I don't regret a thing. I've encouraged all my overweight friends to do something about their weight and consider the surgery. Many have already follow my lead and see my results and are doing just that.. Soon they will have their surgeries and I will help them through..
Picked up a hobby recently.. I love taking pictures of everything. So I'm taking some professional classes, taking lots of pictures and hopefully something positive will come out of it..
My love life is beautiful. Met an incredible man in June 2008, while what two months after my surgery and its been nothing but happiness. We are traveling everywhere, having lots of fun and just living! January 22, 2009 we went to Vegas and being new to Vegas I fell in love. The ambiance was incredible. Loved the shows and the scenic route better. Not particular fond of casinos but he loved watching me like a little hyper child wanting to go everywhere. It was an awesome experience, I will never forget. He's already talking of going soon to Lake Tahoe and explore that too with me.. He's a gem.
My daughter is still beautiful. Jealous a little that my clothes are smaller than hers.. hehe.. (Who would have guess that? LOL) but she's supporting me and watching me like a hawk to make sure I don't eat anything that she knows will make me sick. (Now who's the mother?)
To date I eat everything but in moderation. I still enjoy my food of origin which is latin food, but all in moderation. My belly tells me enough or GAG!!!!!! So I already know, place literally 3/4 of my food on my plate in a "To Go Bag" when I'm in a restaurant cuz I don't want to enlarge my pouch nor do I want to GAG!!! lol
