The 12 Steps Of Addiction Recovery

I am a food addict. Or should I say I have an addictive personality. If I enjoy something I have an intense drive to over do it. I don't know why this is, but I am working really hard to fix it.   I. AM. NOT. PERFECT.   But, I will admit I have problems in my head and I need to fix them.   I am posting the 12 Steps of Addiction Recovery.   Know them, learn them, live them.   The 12 Steps   Step 1 - We admitted we were powerless over our addiction - that our lives had become u

My Insanity! Journey... Day 1 - Success!

Ohh Myy Goodnessss!!!! Okay, Fact #1 I am SUPER PROUD OF MYSELF THIS MORNING!!! Amazing I was able to nearly keep up with them on the Fit Test!! Woot!! The only ones I was much slower than the team was on the ones I had to baby my knees, which I'm totally okay with.

Every Day I Wake Up It's A New Story...

Hello VST...   So last night I was really getting down on myself because I knew it was time to challenge "me" with better eating. I've been going through a lot of emotional dramas lately and I've found that my eating habits have been downright stinking it up. Well, I'm tell you this! There's no way that can become a habit because quite literally I've gone through far too much to slip back into the old me. No way no how!!   So last night I made a pact with myself... I have a 60 challenge

The Secret Of My Success

I'm always being asked how or what I did to get to where I am now. I'm always happy to answer any questions anyone brings to me, because I completely understand. I mean, I've been through it - the ups, the downs, the in-betweens... and I had even considered writing up a huge novel-like post to spell it all out.   But life got in the way, and here I am today.   Time got away from me and my project fell off the map. That's okay because I think that made the picture in my mind that I was try

From: Giving It Time To Work...

Good morning VST!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and if you were anything like me, the pounds did NOT creep up this time! Yayyy!! LOL   I wanted to touch on one subject, as I've seen a huge amount of posts lately commenting on their stalls, or slow losses. I feel this is an important subject because it can really get into our heads. Firstly you are not alone, and I myself have felt this too. Though here's what kept me moving, and kept my head in the game so to speak.   I

From: My Plastics Journey - My First One (of Several)

I wanted to throw in an update because just... WOW!!! For MONTHS I've been stressing due to all the swellings, weight gains and whatever else comes with plastic surgery... however - as always with time comes healing and RESULTS!!! Every single day now I'm seeing humungous differences!! I'm over the moon right now, and THANKING EVERYTHING GOOD that I chose the right surgeons. They performed literally miracles for me. I. AM. HAPPY.   In the last 4 weeks alone I've dropped NEARLY 15 INCHES o

From: I Must Retract My Last Goal Thread... Omg You Won't Believe This...

So, I said I wouldn't try for those Size 0's after all... well... I took them out of my closet to possibly return them for a larger size, which I was going to go for a 4. For some crazy reason I though, what the heck - I'll try them on... why not? Who cares? It would just be interesting to see how far I can get them up.   Well... take a look:     For the record, I'm a little weirded out by this. I still have a lot of swelling to go down from my lipo. How small am I gonna get??? WOWWW

Hello everyone,   I bring to you tidings of joy for the Holiday Season! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!! :smile1:   I'm writing you today because I have recently had a revealing moment... or two. A few days ago I was walking around our house and I walked into an area where the kitchen light shines against our dining room wall. As I walked by I noticed a shadow appear on the wall, and one I could not for the life of me recognize. I was SO surprised that I h

fill docs.doc Ok folks... here are the one month post op photos. I don't think they'll change much more. My starting bra size was a 34 B/C - today I'm a 36 F (DDD). Those size bras are hard to find!! LOL   I've also posted a full body shot to have a comparison photo from before and around December I should have an after shot. November 4th I'll get my first lipo and Nov. 18th I'll get my second.

From: My Plastics Journey - My first one (of several)

So, yesterday was the big day. I got there at 11:30 am (and can I say I'm lovin my sleeve because I KNOW I would've been starving to death by then.. LOL) and prep time, plus some Planet Earth DVD's passed the time pretty quickly. My surgery started around 1:15 PM. It went super fast as always!! However, I found out by my Anesthesiologist that I have a heart murrmurr. You know, I've been told that one other time over a decade ago. Funny thing I thought it was a fluke because I'd never been

From: This morning I've lost 150 LBS!!!

What a great morning!! I was really hoping to break into the 170's before my surgery on Thursday... well I beat that by 4 days!! WHOOTT!!   AND...   From my highest weight ever, I'm down a total of 150.2 LBS!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!   I never did imagine I'd be right here where I am right now. In only 8.2 more Lbs I'll have lost 100 Lbs total from my sleeve date. Great things continue to happen, while working the sleeve!! It's wonders are boundless!!!!   Source: This morning I've lost 150

From: The BOD POD

So I FINALLY made my way to the Bod Pod. Work has settled down and after working nearly an entire month on my Fridays off I got one to myself. Yahhh!!!   Anyway, I met some amazing outstanding folks at the Vacaville Golds Gym. They made me feel so welcomed, and geesh if I lived there that would definitely be my workout spot. More on that later, here are my results:   Fat: 35.3% 64.0 Lbs. Lean: 64.7% 117.3 Lbs. Total: 100% 181.3 Lbs. (I lost some weight yay!!)   How I

From: Weight Loss Surgery DO's and DON'Ts

WLS Do’s and Don’ts     DO remove the word ONLY from your vocabulary. Ex: I’ve ONLY lost 10 Lbs in 2 weeks… Now let’s look at this again without the word ONLY: I’ve lost 10 Lbs in 2 weeks!! See what I mean? Perception is reality folks!!   DON’T assume you’ll never eat all of your favorite foods again. This is just an excuse your brain has designed to allow you to indulge. You WILL eat all your favorites again someday, just much less but find it to me more enjoyable. Which l

This was my Surgery Day thread... I had surgery on 9/15/10 by the Awesome Dr. Aceves. If you're trying to find out more information about him or get some kind of an idea on what to expect, please read on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That�s right!! Next Wednesday is the big day for me! I�m soooo excited I can hardly stand it! This past 5 weeks has absolutely flown by. I�m still thinking of things I�m going to need� it�s like a never ending story. I'

From: My 11th Month Sleeversary Update

So here I am… over 11 months post op now. My Sleeversary is on the 15th of every month, and my next one will be ONE FULL YEAR!! When I decided to get revised from Lap Band to sleeve, I had gone from my low of 227 Lbs all the way back up to 281 Lbs. I was only 2 Lbs. away from reaching my Lap Band surgery day weight of 283. That was not a good time for me. I was quite literally depressed.     It’s not easy making a decision like this… let alone a second one. How was I ever going to ge

My Appt at SonoBello went excellent today!! My Pt Consultant explained everything down to a science on how they do the lipo. They have to contour everything, they can't just do one section. So you have to take a little off here, and balance it by taking a little off there. The prices were great too! I even added in some extra removal on my waist area, so you think my waist is tiny now? Ohh yeahh. ;o) Can't wait!!   She also assigned me to the very best Lipo Surgeon she has on staff. He is FACS

From: My Plastics Journey - My first one (of several)

My consult today went very well!! This surgeon is one of the top PS in my area. He is reasonably priced too, and I've seen his work in person. My cousin had her augmentation there. He told me that doing lipo on my knees would not have a good outcome. The only thing that will help me is a lift of some kind. I was afraid of that, and very impressed he didn't just go ahead and take my money and do it. He knew I didn't have the funds for any additional surgeries, so he won my confiden

My Consultation is on Monday and I'm hopeful I will be able to schedule for September 1st.  I already know which Dr. I want to use as I've seen his work first hand and it's really really good.  He also does reconstructive surgery for weight loss patients.  I might want to get many consults at that point, and most likely might choose another Dr. for my Total Body Lift.  However, that won't be for a few years from now.  I am still considering doing the arm lift but will wait to see how time heals

From: As I near the end of my Weight Loss Journey...

Hmmm... well - here it goes... I guess I'm just mentally drained where hard core weight loss is concerned quite frankly. Before I continue let me be clear I may still lose some weight... however as far as really working my butt off and continued food restraint... I think I really am done. Period.   Yes I'll continue to do my early morning running, I'll still do my workouts (this will be always and forever) and I'm probably going to add in some muscle toning exercises. I bulk up really easil

Hello hello hello to all of you! It has been another week since my last check in. I guess I just don't ever have a whole lot to say... until I start typing anyway.
