Ms Wisdom

I'm sitting here this morning in the doctors office waiting to get my first visit since I gave him my criteria from the insurance company. I don't know what the scale will say. For the most part I've followed the 1,400 calories, but actually the only real exercise I've been doing is at work (where I put anywhere from 8,000-10,000 steps on my pedometer). Anyway I'm going to focus on getting some 'me' time this next 30 days.

My song would be Alycia Keys- Brand New Me Brand New Me" It's been a while I'm not who I was before You look surprised Your words don't burn me anymore Been meanin' to tell ya But I guess it's clear to see Don't be mad It's just a brand new kinda me Can't be bad I found a brand new kinda free Careful with your ego He's the one that we should blame Had to grab my heart back God knows something had to change I thought that you'd be happy I found the one thing I need Why you mad? It's just a brand new kinda me "Never bad I found a brand new kinda free. Ooh..." ****** It took a long, long road to get here It took a brave, brave girl to try It took one too many excuses, one too many lies Don't be surprised, don't be surprised******** If I talk a little louder, If I speak up when you're wrong If I walk a little taller I've been under you too long If you notice that I'm different, Don't take it personally Don't be mad It's just a brand new kinda me "That ain't bad I found a brand new kinda free." Ooh, it took a long, long road to get here It took a brave, brave girl to try I've taken one too many excuses, one too many lies Don't be surprised, oh, said, you look surprised Hey, if you were a friend You'd wanna get to know me again If you were worth while You'd be happy to see me smile I'm not expecting sorry I'm too busy finding myself I got this I found me, I found me, yeah I don't need your opinion I'm not waiting for your "OK" I'll never be perfect, But at least now I'm brave I know my heart is open I can finally breathe Don't be mad It's just a brand new kinda free That ain't bad I found a brand new kinda me Don't be mad [one version:] It's a brand new time for me IT'S JUST A BRAND NEW TIME FOR ME...

I don't know anything about fonts on here. I wrote it from my phone and I'm new here so I don't know what I can do on that matter.

No I'm not married. We were engaged, but that's a whole nother story. I just feel if I support you then you should support me.

Hello everyone. I found this site last month and come here quite a lot to see what's going on with everyone. I even reached out and made a friend here. The problem that I'm having is with my 'intented' mate (that's a whole other issue in its self). He was diagnosed with cancer June 2012 and went through six months of chemotherapy. I glad to say that the cancer is gone (Alhumdillah!). I was with him through the whole thing, doing the best I can with the distance we have between us. I told him about the sleeve and at first he was worried, then wanted me to send him all the information on the matter. It seemed like he was on board. We had a conversation and he was talking about how he got his weight back and he's at 216lbs (he went down to about 150 being sick and it just did not look good on him). I said that "I too couldn't wait til I was back at 216lbs" ......he had the nerve to say "Oh, you're going to get sleeved and still eat up everything" That was a slap in the face to me. So he sees me like I'm always gonna be fat no matter what. I thought he supported me, but I see now he just wants to stand by and watch me fail. (I've should have learned that with the other events that have been popping up in the last year). Anyway I just wanted to share that. .........Sometimes people should keep their opinions to themselves.

Aaaaaaaaa Aaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaa......snort.....snort.....hee hee

When I started this process last month there were two hospitals found weight loss surgery in Hampton Roads, Virginia. I signed up for seminars at both. I first went to Sentara. The seminar went well and all, but when the woman took us to the page of their before & after care they wanted $1,057 dollars. I questioned it and she said it Must be paid (so she thought). I went to Bon Secours two days later. They wanted $120 dollars, and that was for 6 1hour personal training sessions.....Shoot! Were can you get a trainer of $20 dollars an hour? I was wondering what was the out of pocket price I'm other areas?

Alhumdillah!..... That's great! You just keep going the way you're going and you'll reach your goal in no time?

Altoids aren't good for you, they have gelatin in them. Good ole peppermints may be the way to go for your breath.
