Today is my 13th wedding anniversary and I went out to dinner with my hubby. I wore a new dress size 1x (down from 4x), wore my wedding rings (only recently fit me) and had a lovely time with my man who said I look 10 years younger! What a happy day. I was sleeved 6/25 and am down 40 lbs from surgery and a total of 85 since January. Lovin life! Just in case you wondered I ordered shrimp cocktail and had a few bites of my husbands filet mignon, delish!

I think you have been amazingly successful! First a huge weight loss, while staying in school and preparing for a better life / long term career puts you in the "winner!" column. Yes, you are living in bad situation, and you are missing having supportive people around you, and that can feel overwhelming at times. Be glad that you are past the bad relationship, and that you have a bright future ahead of you. Your feelings are temporary and your other challenges can be fixed! Hang in there, finish your degree and the world will be yours for the taking! You might check into counseling services at your school. Most schools have people available to assist with the emotional bumps in the road!

Honey, moving back home is a bad step. I bet if you change your environment for the better, the weight will come off again. First, stop expecting help from your parents. It sounds like they've pretty much shown you none is coming from that direction. Move on emotionally and that will help you while you are living at home. Second, spend as little time at home as possible. Just sleep and bathe there. Never eat there, take your food with you to school. Get a cooler for your car. You can do this. You've come this far, and you can finish the journey and stay healthy. Good luck and prayers for you.

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!!!
I AM HAPPY, SCARED, NERVOUS, EXCITED.......HAPPY, JOYFUL, HAPPY!!!!!
First OB/GYN appointment is this Friday. I have tried for so long, I just can not believe( scared to believe) it's true!!
My husband and daughter are walking around with big smiles on their faces lol!!!
I am happy as well, but have this little fear in my heart that just wont die down yet.
S.N someone told me yesterday that I was no longer pretty. She felt I was prettier heavy, and now I look sick, and ordinary. Crazy thing is, she was not being mean or vicious. Her comments felt sincere. For that reason, what she said affected me. I keep replaying in my head what she said to me. I am worried that this is gonna be the open "window" to get off track.

So today I am four weeks post-op!
Highest weight: 272
Surgery Weight: 250
Today's weight: 224
Successes include:
Feeling my shirt blow in the wind...BLOW
Weighing less than my drivers license for the first time in my life!! (Yep...I usually lied on it)
My pants literally falling off me one night while I was cooking dinner
Feeling my sides constantly...loving the hour glass shape that is coming back
My boobies sticking out further than my tummy!!!
Lovin how I am feeling...well besides fatigue!

Love it!

I used a heating pad and heating blanket the first 3 months because I was so cold. Colder than I had ever been in my life. I put the pad on my stomach and I was alright. Take it easy, this is your time to heal and get better. Take the word of an old lady, the dirt will always be there.

Okay totally horsing around because my brain is mush, but I found modelmydiet.com.
