Holy chit!!! I just looked to see what my BMI is.. Im almost out of the OVERWEIGHT..lol even though I dont feel overweight..LOL..Im freakin excited man!!!! 1.2 BMI's to go before im LABLED NORMAL..LMAO.

Anyhoo I was just bored and thought I would do a lil blogging. And put out some inspiring thoughts.

No matter what is goin on in  your life. You must remember you've taken a big step to live a healither life by having the surgery or if your thinking about doing the surgery. I will be the best thing you've done for yourself. Hell I know it is for me.

No matter what is goin on..you always remember you live each day with a new beginning. Look forward to what you've done or chose to do for yourself..and get out there and live life. 'I KNOW I AM'!!

Well, I didnt reach my goal to 150lbs in one years time..but, its alllll good. Hell I've lost 137lbs cant complain to much about that.!!...


Before thinking about surgery almost 400lbs               Body pic in April but weigh in at 171lbs wooohooo 
        
                  HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO ME!!!!

 

My ticker fits how my weight loss has slowed down..but, its ok..I'd rather have it come off slower now then a rapid weight loss. I've got to some point where I was getting frusterated with not lossin all the weight off in one year as I planned.. In just a few days it will be ONE year since I've had my surgery. My plan was to have 150lbs off for  my first goal within the years time. Hey Its close enough and its not quite a year yet...so we'll see what the remaining days brings me. I've lost 5 more inches since my last measurment time so least something is coming off and my size 12 jeans is proof Im losin iches they are getting baggier...it soooooo totally rocks.

Im thinking this year Im hoping to start looking into having the extra skin removed. I feel I need to read more into it.. Figure how it can be covered under my insurance once I get insurance that is. Its kinda hard looking into the mirror sometimes. I was soo used to the skin being filled now its just hanging there shrinking lil by lil. I guess something is better then nothing. But I still find a happy note even when I get a lil frusterated with the extra skin hangage..I have to keep telling myself "I've come a long way in such a short time" If you really think about it. A year really isnt that long of a time. Your days are filled with more joy, more activities you lose track of how fast the days go by now. So in a nut shell, there are highs and lows with losing all the weight..but, its to be expected. I chose to do something for myself and IMMMM so glad I took that step to get where I am today. 

My BMI still says Im overweight..but, sometime this year..I'll be where I need to be Im taking it one day at a time.

Well its been a while I know..but life is awesome. I fell fantastic and hate to say but lookin even more healthier and more fantastic then ever. Goin shopping is the fun part let me tell you. Its soo nice to go into any place and enjoy shopping cause I know they will have my size..size 12 baby!!!!! I never thought I'd be in a size 12 and a large shirt..some shirts are extra large..but hell thats ok by me. I have 25lbs to go before I hit my first goal that Im thinking is going to be my last goal of 150lbs. OMG Im soo bad at shopping now..I went to Kohls and umm spent wayyy to much money on work clothes...lmao but you know what..its soo worth it..Im not in debt but I did spend way to much but it was needed. Funny thing is, I can fit in my bf pants..lmao I never thought I'd see the day I'd be smaller then my guy. Even smaller then my ex husband..lmao ohh and my daughter too...My daughter is soo cute..she calls me bitch for being smaller then her..but its all in fun. She loves me..and is happy for me.

I do have to say Im finally employed again. I happen in March..and Im soo freakin happy to be working again. This company is awesome..and its busy like crazy..which I love. Once Im there for a year Im goin to look into having the extra skin removed..Im goin to see if I can use my insurance to have it removed..I know if I did that I would be so much smaller and have less skin hangin around. I do have to say that is the most frusterating part is getting rid of the extra skin. Fair warning to those who are lookin into the surgery..you work your ass off and the skin it taking for ever to go away. But, dont get me wrong..Im sooo pleased with the results..and I feel I look awesome in my size. Im just happy that my way of thinking hasnt changed. I thought for sure that I would feel less of a person being smaller..but I look at it this way. I just put more years on my heart by losing the weight I lost so far..and I'll be around for my new grandbaby more..

I hope that any of you that are thinking about doin the surgery to really sit back and think..your ok with your weight your at..but reality is your heart cant take it..and now..I sooo much more active. I do have my days when I feel blahh..but who doesnt. OMG let me tell you..just a few days of the blah feeling..being frusterated with the extra skin is ok...Only because I've come a long way its almost been a year and I've lost 133lbs Im almost at my first goal weight is to be 150lbs. I really think that will be my weight I will stop at. Seeing my bones on my collar is kinda strange..and feeling my spine...And I dunno but maybe 135lbs might be kinda strange weight..I really dont know just yet. Maybe once I figure out if I can have my insurance take my skin..I just might be at 135..wouldnt that be funny...But I do have to say after loosing all the weight..my ass isnt the same. When I sit..OMG its pain..Im constently sitting on my tail bone wrong..and that is a pain in the ass..lmao get it..pain in the ass..lmao. I've been workin on building my ass muscles so I wont have that problem..or cross my leg..OMG that is awesome..lmao..crossing my legs and not havin to force them to stay...

I sooo wish anyone that is thinkin about doin this..to really let go of the fear and just do it. Hell you only live once!!!

So, now your up to date on whats goin on in my life. My next step is getting a body lift and possibly boob job..either a life..or augmentation..still contimplating it.

Until the next time. Live life like your dying!!!

The weight is comin off slower and slower, but hey least there's no weight gain which Im very please to announce. I've boosted up the cardio now. I can now runnnnnnnnnnnnn!!! cant run for long but, its a start. I run 3times a week along with my regular cardio and weight lifting. I also started usin the hot box to melt some inches away. Really relaxing just sitting in there getting all sweaty and listenin to my tune. I only have 40lbs to go before my first goal. I thought I would have most of it off by now..No worries, Im just doin what Im doin and enjoying life in a size 14pants!!!!!! still crazy that I can go anywhere now to shop. I find myself goin right to the Lane Bryant and the Avenue and thinkin WTF am I doing!!!!..lol car is on auto drive to the plus size stores I guess..lol.
I got to see one of my old friends how had gastric bypass..OMGGGGG its sooo crazyyyy how quick the weight comes off. She had hers done before me and she looks even more amazing now. She looks soo much happier and Im sooo happy for her. So, check out the new pics you'll see her in one. Stay happy and be glad you did what you did for yourself. You only live once and why not make the best of it.

This past month as been a bit challenging due to losin my job again. Im telling you I havent had much luck since my surgery and not having any medical Im very thankful Im pretty healthy. But, this isnt goin to make me change my mind on how I look at life. I look at it as a challenge I intend to beat AGAIN. My goal this month and next month is to lose 40lbs. Giving me 20lbs a month. I like giving my self a goal now. I work my ass off to get where I need to be.

Well, Im goin to leave it at that.
And post my newest pictures I have of myself.

Live well, and be happy
Peace out my friends.
