just had my rny on 3/2/2015

Woohoo!!! 8 more lbs. until ONEDERLAND!!!

Three more pound and I'll be under 200 lbs. Reaching 199 will also mean I will have lost 50% of my excess weight (63.5 lbs.). So happy and excited!!

13 days...yeah, I"m probably going to do this every day. Sorry

Am I the only one that reads every single post here?

My Halloween plan was to save money by buying early at the big box store to get much better pricing, larger quantity, and they had a really good coupon- big-time money-saving Halloween- Yay! I bought a giant mixed bag of those itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, popular, commercial (lots of additives) milk-chocolate-based candy bars. I, of course, had 'evolved' past any desire for 0-nutritional value, over-sugared, commercial milk chocolate- Now only eating good-quality dark chocolate to satisfy my choco-attacks. What a GOOD GIRL I am! Ha! ...and there it was, calling to me, loudly, from the pantry every night. We hit the bag- just a couple- late nights. That evolved into: Well, 3, 4, 5, 6 teeny weenies don't even add up to one regular-sized candy bar. It's not like I'm eating a full candy bar (every night). When all the 'good' ones were gone, only malt balls were left. I really don't like malt balls. Never did. We ate those too. This whole self-sabotage 'project' was over the course about 2.5 weeks. Candyless, and with Halloween just around the corner, next trip to big box store, I bought three big bags of pretzels in little bags to pass out. I have no interest in eating pretzels- at all. Interestingly, I suggested we buy pretzels at that first round of halloween candy- buying & my companion said," Yea, but are the kids going to want chocolate? Or pretzels? I caved and bought the candy (peer pressure). I wish I'd been stronger. Post Halloween, only about 28 little bags were passed out and I'm left with a huge, floor-sized basket full of little pretzel-bags & about 2.5lbs up. Tally: I spent double the money, even with coupon. I filled myself with unnecessary guilt & loathing I loaded sugar, which made me crave more sugar. Vicious cycle to get out of. Now, I Need to spend even more money (like $30) for a body-cleanse to help detox sugar I have enough pretzels to last me 3-5yrs. I hate wasting food & money My weight is up 2.5lbs with Thanksgiving, Xmas, & New Years right around the corner. It'll be that much harder to A) Get rid of the added weight and keep losing weight through the holidays. Lesson Learned: I come first! Doesn't matter what the kiddies prefer to get on Halloween. They're going to be zinged-out from sugar whether or not I pass out pretzels. Bonus Take-Home Lesson: I'm not contributing to the global obesity problem if I pass out pretzels.

Hello Hello my beatiful people. I have been away so long. I havent had access to an actual computer and lets just face it, the BP App stinks! Anyways five days of vitamins down and no vomiting. I am so excited that three days ago I was able to eat regular food with no vomiting and kept it down. YAY me. I have really had a tough go of it and remained positive until a couple of weeks ago when i was just so fatigued. I did just buy a house and got a new job so that might be the reason why. My life is grand as of today. Baby steps and baby bites is my new moto!

WOW…9 months and 93 pounds….I'm still AMAZED…but loving it!
