My New Year picture. I’m just 28 days from my 2 year Bandiversary. And I’ve started my new 25 week challenge!
Just continuing my journey - one bite at a time…
Count down to a new body - compliments My Plastic Surgeon and My LapBand~
Pardon me? Are you talking to me?~
Well, something new or rather something old, that I haven’t experienced in years is happening!
Men! Noticing me? What? Are you serious? No way!
A man last night in the Whole Foods - actually flirted with me - AND found me later in the store to give me his phone number!
Seriously! Me? That hasn’t happened in about 25 years! OR EVER!!!
It felt a little strange, almost uncomfortable… actually. Very uncomfortable.
It’s a whole new world out there — I’ve got to learn how to live in it! Who would have ever expected a man (a sighted man EVEN) would want to give me his phone number.
I wonder…
AND believe it or not, he was not the first — it’s been happening a lot lately… Hmmm, maybe there are a lot of desperate single men out there.
Who knows?
Fat Happens~
Life goes on for me…
Still after losing all of the weight that I have - I am faced with often times being the fattest person in the room. It’s difficult. I try to remember where I came from and where I am going, but it’s tough being on this journey, seeing results and yet, still being ashamed of being obese. We, or at least, I beat myself up for my weight, a bit more than I should.
I see a picture of myself next to an average sized person and I cringe. Why? Why do I expect so much from myself - when I’m giving myself ALL I can?
On the 29th of July, I reached my 18 month Bandiversary. Eighteen months ago, I was so much bigger than I am today. I need to remember that and be proud.
I am on my last 100lbs. I can see the finishline. The end of the tunnel is in view. Silly, huh? Silly because so many other WLS patients start at 100lbs or less. Especially Banders - they start at much lower BMI’s than other WLS patients. AND here I am rejoicing at the thought that I am just 100lbs away from my final goal. Bravo! I’m almost there!
I have the first phase of my plastic surgery scheduled for December 2nd. IF I’m not where I need to be for a good result, I’ll stick with my original plan of the tummy tuck and the arm lift. These things need to be done now, but I am hoping if I wait til December, I’ll be closer to goal and I can have a better result from the procedure. December 2nd gives me 123 days to get as close to my goal as possible.
I’m pulling out all of the stops! Eating wise, exercise wise and stress wise! I have plans!
I’ll keep you all posted. More pictures to follow. Eating plans. Motivational posts to come!
Fat Happens! It happened! AND I am sick of it!
Onward and downward, I go!
