What a difference a year makes!

Mar 10, 2010

So i did my one year visit today! I was told that I am NO LONGER CONSIDERED OBESE! I lost 71% of my body fat, and a total of 142lbs according to my scale but 139lbs according to theirs ;) ! I was shocked, because as much as people tell me how good I look and the expressioin on their faces when they see me when they haven't seen me for a long time, I still sometimes don't think I'm 10 sizes smaller! I am now fitting into GAP Clothes, the best feeling in the world, where I'm proud to say I'm a size 32/33! Wow man, I thank god for giving me this chance to make things right. I met this woman today while waiting to see our doctor, she told me she was there for her second shot at weight loss surgery, she got the band and after 3/4 yrs it leaked and with in 8 months she gained over 60lbs! she now considering the gastric! I told her go for it b/c without it she won't have any restrictions! Thanks OH fam for being here, if anyone needs to ht me up on my email at [email protected].... I'll check this site every now and then but I can fly now on my own, your support have been very encouraging! For new comers take your time you will heal! Much love everyone! OH what a difference a year makes.

I don't get a chance to really exercise the way I use to b/c I work different hours and when I get home I'm exhausted. but no excuses I have lost a total of 80lbs since surgery day now putting me at 269lbs all the way from 349. I am so excited. I'm even starting to see a big difference. This was my high school weight. I'll post pictures soon so you guys can see me now. I'm going to disney world with my best friend and nieces and i'm riding all the rides. lol

I am no longer extremely obese! sounds crazy but now i am in the obese category! LOL, I am down to 286 and still losing. was at a stall for a while. I admit to slacking on exercise and eating more protein. But I saw someone mentioned a protein challenge for ten days and that's what I am going to do. I am going to eat nothing but protein, and take my vitamins like I should be. so wish me luck! I am so excited! summer is here and it's about to be on like radon chon!  Happy Monday y'all.

SELF HATERED

May 26, 2009

AS  I GO THROUGH THE BEFORE AND AFTER PICS ON THIS WEBSITE OF OTHER PEOPLE. I NOTICE SO MUCH SELF HATERED! WE TALK ABOUT OUR PAST BODIES AS DISGUSTING AND NASTY AND UNFORGIVING! OK GUILTY! BUT I LOVE WHO I AM AND THAT PERSON WILL NEVER CHANGE, SHE WILL ALWAYS BE BEAUTIFUL REGARDLESS OF SIZE, SHE WILL BE SMART, SEXY, AND DETERMINED TO MEET EVERY GOAL! OF COURSE WE ARE HERE FOR A REASONS, MINES IS BECAUSE I WANT TO BE HEALTHY, AND IF FAT WAS HEALTHY THEN I WOULD STAY THIS WAY, BECAUSE (NOT TO BE CONCEITED) I AM FLY, REGARDLESS OF SIZE. I GOT A MAN WHEN I WAS BIG, TRAVELED AND SOME MORE SHIT! MY POINT IS OH FAM! IS THAT WHEN YOU REFER TO YOUR OLD SELF OR WORK IN PROGRESS SELF. LET'S SHINE A LITTLE LIGHT ON OURSELVES OR THE PEOPLE(SIZE) WE USE TO BE, IT STARTS FROM THE INSIDE, AND WE CAN SHINE FROM THE OUTSIDE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

LOVE PARIS

STILL FREAKING OUT. I AM NOT GETTING FULL OR MY STOMACH IS NOT HURTING AS MUCH AS BEFORE, SO COULD IT BE THAT  I AM NOW TOLERATING FOODS THAT I COULDN'T BEFORE, OR IS IT STOMACH STRECTING. I DOUBT THE STRECTHING BECAUSE I AM STILL LOSING WEIGHT I AM DOWN 60LBS, BUT IT'S SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND. HAS ANYONE ELSE AT MY STAGE OF 3 MONTHS OUT FELT THE SAME WAY AS I DO NOW?

OK NO MORE FREAKING OUT!

May 19, 2009

I SPK WITH MY NURSE AND SHE TOLD ME NOT ENOUGH PROTEIN! YEAH I SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER! I DON'T GET ENOUGH PROTEIN I DON'T REALLY EAT SHIT! I EAT ONCE OR TWICE A DAY WITH NO SNACKS IN BETWEEN AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM. I NEED TO WORK ON THAT. I LOST ALMOST 60LBS SO, I AM HAPPY ABOUT THAT. BUT I NEED TO PUSH TO BETTER HEALTH. I AM MAKING SMARTER CHOICES FOR MY EATING! SO I AM OK NOW. I AM ON MY WAY TO GET SOME PROTEIN DRINKS.
