No body knows the extent of the year I have had. NO BODY. So know when I say I'M DONE, I mean it. You try to help and be there for everyone but can't get it reciprocated. I will be utilizing my NO button so much more. Got a feeling some will start dropping like bricks. 5 months (25 weeks) of nonstop shit. NonStop. I'm putting up my idgaf sign. #straightup

Anger and fear are the driving forces (fuel, if you will) to death. We must not forget life is not permanent in these physical bodies. Eventually, they decay. Having peace is the only thing that you can control. Time and space are not your enemies. Do not let people hold power over your soul. #Resist #anger and #fear #seriously #peace #internalpeace

Sometimes, being in the middle of your mental mess is the only way to get to your internal peace. #truth #transformation #feelfreeatthirty #newbeginnings #nomoreregrets

Last week's events did just that. 3 weeks of working on inner peace and clarity went right out the window. While my feeling haven't changed on the subject matter, I'm VERY AWARE of its effects on me. But I also know if I don't work on me, I can't help anyone.

What worked for me might not be what works for you. I never thought I'd get down this low. It's been over a year and I couldn't be more happy with my results. #vsg was my help. Don't worry about people's opinions. If you can be happy with your decision, go for it. I am 10 pounds lower then my army weight. Go figure. I always struggled with my personal opinion of my weight. Not anymore. Although I still struggle with exercising, portion control was the key. Still is. I was (for a small amount of time) over 300 pounds. A size 18 in HS. ... I'm officially a 14. Having pushed out 3 babies I'm not even mad at all my stretch marks. Lol might never wear a 2 piece but I just might wear some shorts.

Skin Tight?!

Not only is it on tonight, which I’m super excited for, but I may have also gotten an email back from their casting manager asking for more info and pictures?!?!

STILL trying VERY hard not to get my hopes up, because God only knows how many people got the same email back, but it gives me that bit of inspiration I need to get back on the bandwagon of health!

Plus I was to look good because we are going back to NY to visit in a few weeks.

AHHHHHH

I'm so excited for you! !!!!

Holy moly donut shop. Yesterday morning, I woke up and stepped on the scale. I hit 199. I stepped off and did it again, and it's at 202. Ugh... This morning, I did the exact same thing but when I stepped on the scale both times, it was still at 199. I'm excited to say I am officially in ONEderland. For those that know my weight loss journeySSS, there was nothing about it that was easy. Absolutely NOTHING. In fact, learning how to eat again, exercise again, and use food as fuel rather than comfort, was so much more work than anyone could imagine. There was physical, mental, and emotional battles going on. Especially after years of habit. After 6 months of self torture (lol), I've met my second weight goal and look forward to the next 2 months. Wow, what a ride!!!

Blackberry messenger. ..... I'm baaaacccckkkkk.

Officially 3 weeks that I've been in a complete stall

I swear to god, my MILs scale just taunts me at 207.6. Every. Single. Day. Not even .1 of a pound more or less. I’m starting to think it’s broken.

And I also think her scale measures 2 lbs more than my scale back in NY. I just hope it’s water weight in my muscles from working them out so much. I have been eating well, exercising, etc. but the scale isn’t moving down. Blahhhhh.

My current Situation at 211

For any WLS peeps wondering:

I am almost 9 months out, and I still have trouble eating 4 oz of food sometimes. Like, tonight I had some DELICIOUS turkey meatballs my MIL made. Two meatballs were 3.5 oz. I am struggling to eat the second one.

On the other hand, sometimes I can eat a lot. I once ate a huge cheeseburger for one meal. It took me a LOT of time to finish it, like an hour and a half, but I did.

Don’t worry too much about if you’re “eating too little or too much”, just eat what you can without hurting yourself and make sure it’s nutritious and delicious! And don’t forget to let yourself have small treats every now and again!

This is so me. I can eat a lot one minute and the next is a struggle to take 2 bites. But it's not about quantity. It's about quality.

Just a few snacks I have during the week as I hit the gym like a monster. Other than my messy bed and mirror, I see so many gains. In my last pay, I uploaded a picture of my stomach. Yuck. .. Ok numbers. .. HW: 303 W@Surgery : 253 CW: 215 GW:145 Surgery date was April 28, 2015. I'm totally off my blood pressure meds. Not looking back. Feeling much better about my work outs even though the weight isn't moving much because I'm gaining muscle. But I do feel super empowered.

It has been very long since I last posted. I now have food aversions to many of the foods I once loved. EGGS. yuck. SAUSAGE. nope. SWEET DRINKS. Not a chance. I get nauseous when I smell meat cooking or see eggs (although eggs was already there, its gotten much worse). Current weight is 219. Pants = 16. Highest weight 278. Pants = 24. Surgery Date April 28, 2015 Exercise has been focused to weight lifting and stretching. Overall I have been feeling excited about my 3 month mark.
