My Journey...

Smoking, work, stress!

Geesh. Okay, so I've been smoking since I was 14. I'm 24 now so that's a good ten years and lord knows I feel the effects of it on my lungs and the rest of my body. And like the doctors say.. I'm having this surgery to improve my health and quality of life so I should quit smoking before I have the surgery and I want to so bad but for the past 10 years.. these damn things have been the stress reliever of my life and I guess you could say my crutch. I know I need to give it up but I'm so scar

Anybody??

So.. my surgery is like a little over a month away and I'm a little worried about the diet afterwards. I mean, what's the easiest way to adjust to the diet if you don't know how to eat healthy or live healthy? Should I go ahead and do a gym membership now or should I make changes to my lifestyle beforehand? Don't get me wrong. I love this site, there's a lot of information on here that's been helpful in my decision to have this surgery but I wish it were easier to talk with people about t

Psych Evaluation

Welp, I got that over with and I guess it went as to be expected. She says the surgeon/insurance company doesn't like for the patient to be actively depressed, which I am, so I'll have to continue with counseling in order to have my surgery - which is fine.. I think I need it. But seriously.. who would not be depressed if they were a few pizzas and a half gallon of ice cream away from 300 lbs?! c'mon now.   Now.. the waiting game.. wait for the hospital to call or write and let me know when

Stacker 2's WITH ephedra

Oh how I love these things.. 4 years ago I lost 45 lbs in 4 months on them and then I got pregnant and yada yada.. of course they took it off the shelves because of ephedra in it and people being nuts and taking too many BUT I think if you use them as recommended they can do wonders for people such as myself with low energy and extremely slow metabolism. Low and behold I found some online and just *had* to have them.. so I bought 2 bottles and I've lost 5 lbs in 4 days after about 2 mon

My first initial consultation with surgeon...

Well, the drive was the worst of it... had to get up at 4:30am and drive almost 3 hours to the hospital but once I was there it was smooth sailing.   There were only 9 people in our group seminar, 2 ( including myself ) opting for the band, the others were in desperate need of gastric and I say that not out of meanness but I stronly believe the band if for people who can still exercise and do that by not causing more harm than good to their bodies. I met a lot of nice people and the nutrition

Thank God the journals are working again cuz boy have I had a bad couple of week

So.. it all started out as my boss and his wife being arrested for child abuse.. which I had nothing to do with ( abusing the children, I mean ) but I *did* help with the investigation as far as telling them everything I knew and had saw and even wore a recorder when I was talking to them to get them admitting things on tape. So, they were arrested and the same day we all lost our jobs ( as to be expected ) BUT, come to find out.. I tried to draw unemployment, and the employment commission want

sick :(

Well, figured out why I had the blahs... apperantly, I'm either coming down with a really bad cold or the flu.. I spent atleast 15 hours in bed yesterday with cold chills that hurt so bad.. it was like someone poking me with nails all over my body and then the fever kicked in and felt like i had 3rd degree sunburn. I haven't felt that sick since before Jared was born when I had the flu.. lol But, I feel better today but I can feel my chest starting to tighten and I know I'm gonna start coughing

got the blahs

Some days, I have tons of energy, some days I'm lucky if I get out of bed before 10.   I wish I could find another job that works so well around my school schedule but oh well..   on a brighter side.. My son ( he's just turned 2 in July ) peed in the potty all by himself today! I was so proud AND he insists on drinking out of a regular cup with no lid. God, they grow up so fast. I love him so much.. he makes me smile when everything else is going wrong. He's so sweet ( when he wants to

Oh yeah!

My doctors appt. is tomorrow. I've been waiting anxiously for a month now. I hope she has good news for me *crosses fingers*   Aside from that, I have managed to cut down my portions. I'm trying to stick with the slimfast regimen but I can't seem to drink even half of it and I feel full but I still get hungry like 2 hours later so .. I chew gum *shrugs*   I guess tomorrow I'll see if I've lost any weight. I refuse to keep a scale in my house because instead of being online, I'll be weighing

Slim Fast Optima

So.. still 7 days before my appt. but I've decided to try and lose what weight I can before getting banded so I'm gonna try the slim fast plan. I'm pretty excited about it. It seems sensible and something I can stick to seeing as I don't eat all that much anyway but maybe this will help me get into eating healthier.

Hurry up, Sept. 11th!

I had read one of Telly's entries and saw her virtual model so I thought I'd try it myself and omg, how I long to look like that I can't wait to actually have a body and dress up like a young lady instead of boyish because I can't find clothes big enough to fit comfortably. That's an amazing difference... from 280 to 150 lbs.

little ranting and bitching...

I love my boyfriend/fiance', but god he gets on my nerves sometimes. So, there we are in the grocery store and he sees some meat seasoning he wants. First of all, I don't like pork chops or steak so it makes no difference to me what he puts on his meat... but I made the mistake of wrinkling my nose in disgust and he says "okay, i'll put it back". I didn't want him to put it back!! lol.. I just don't like it *shrugs*... but what really irritated me is why does he need my approval for everything

Can't wait, can't wait!

So, I guess I'll make this date my official start date of my journey, even though I've been researching this for atleast 3 months...   I can't wait to have the band put in, I think it will help me so much. It's not so much losing the pounds I look forward to but that feeling of just feeling better and more healthier. Being able to wrestle around with my son and not feel give out or going outside to play with him and not feel miserable. I can't wait.   Oh, and not to mention a better sex lif
