Let me start out brutally honest....lately, I have been down right BAD!!!!!

Wrong foods, not emugh protein, no vitamins, drinking calories (sweet tea) and the list goes on.!!!
I basically gave up. It's hard to admit, but that's what I did. I was tired of NOT losing, being the same weight for OVER a year, while everyone else just zoomed right pass me. This has been sucj a struggle, sincec week 1 I have fought for every pound loss.

But toady I am getting Back on Track. I wasn't going to post this because I have made this promise before....but It's time i become accountable - REALLY accountable about my health. The realization that I am not getting any younger (I will be 38 on Saturday) and can't eat like a teenager is finally sinking in!!

Guys, SERIOUSLY...I need your support -FOR REAL! So hit me up on youtube, ObesityHelp, twitter, facebook, where ever!!!!
I have a bad habit of isolating myself and now I  feel like I'm not even a part of the WLS community.
I am embarrased to go to my local support group,(have not been in a year) and to be honest, I feel like I look like I'm pre-op!!!
I weighed this morning and the scale said - 196.2!!!!!!!!!!!! I have consistently gaining since June (after checking out of this journey)...too close to 200lb for me...Time to get my act together!!

Pray for me guys, this is soooooo mental!!!!

Here is my latest youtube update....enjoy LOL

(Sorry, couldn't embed the video like before)

Hey Everybody!!! I have not blogged here in a while! I haven't had much to report.
But i have started making youtube videos again, so I thought i would post my video update here.

I hope everyone else is doing good.

Enjoy the show! LOL

The Picture I'm talking about in the video (Go to Gallery to see full size picture)

So okay....I am 5 months out, tommorrow I will be exactly 24 weeks post-op and I have lost a total of 63 pounds...
I have 48 pounds to goal!      48 pounds????!!!!

I am now in ONDERLAND!!! (198 lb)

So why do i feel so weird? Why am I not bouncing off the walls? I promised myself i would make a video once i reached onederland....and haven't had the passion to do it yet!!!
I feel so disconnected from it all....I feel like I am on the outside looking in......It's just too weird!

I think my problem is guilt....I have been making a few wrong food choices and I think I am feeling a bit dissapointed in myself. I do not have the intolerances that other RNY post-opers have....Don't get me wrong, I haven' tried anything over the top, but the food tems i did eat, I had no adverse reactions.

My excercise has not been up to par.......so I beat myself up about that (I don't have a gym membership and it is too COLD outside!!!)

I have not been able to go to my local support group meetings because my daughter has games on support night and we only have 1 car...so...I am just praying that things get back on track by the spring.

Well, just thought I would document my feelings and thoughts. I hope everyone is doing well.

Blessings

Hey Everybody,

I have not posted in a few weeks...I made a few videos but lost them.
I did however keep my health tracker updated.
My current weight is 205....that makes a total of 56 lb lost since August 17, 2009.

Sounds good to me!
I am getting in a size 14 - suit and pants.
My favorite feature (the booty) is melting away!!!!

Hey Fam,

For those who follow me on youtube, you knowI was giving my daughter a room makeover for her birthday.
Well Here is a long behind video showing the process and result......enjoy.

Okay Ya'll

I'm being super lazy today.....
Here is my update on video for week 15 (or is it 16) Post Op - December 7, 2009

 Okay people! If any of you are from.......visited, got kinfolk, friends, in-laws..... the south, you know what I am talking about.

Thanksgiving is practically a 3 day feast!! I mean the food is ridiculous!

There is all sorts of meats, ooey-gooey cheese dishes laden with fat, veggies laden with fat and countless desserts, yes, laden with fat! and that's just ONE HOUSE! Then you have to go and "visit your people", who won't hear of you not "fixin' a plate to take home"....of course this is all on Day 1.

I actually cooked dinner for my family this year that consisted of a lot of traditional dishes (our traditional dishes) with a bit of a twist to most of them. The only thing that I did not alter was the dressing and mac/cheese................that would be sacrilegious, don't you know!! I mean that would totally destroy all that is sacred in the eyes of most down home diners - LOL

Anyway, I made  sweet potato pie, but used sugar substitute and my secret ingredient was eggnog............it turned out great!! The recipe made 4 pies (2 regular and 2 deep) and today there are only 3 slices left (there are only 4 normal eating people in my home).

My banana pudding was SF pudding this year, they didn't know the difference! I made a couple dishes of vegetables, potato salad (with light mayo) and a ham.

The turkey was done in a roaster and was a no brainer.

I ate a lot of turkey this weekend, sampled the dressing, cranberry sauce, veggies and pie and lost 3 POUNDS this week!!! How many people can say they lost 3 pounds AFTER Thanksgiving? I love my RNY!!

Here is a quick peek at my complete meal on Thanksgiving
Ya'll be Blessed!
