  2. Doing better

    · Thewall26 · 02/17/10 07:15 PM

    Well I finally did it!!!! Got over that stupid wall that was in my way. Lost 12 pounds this past month and feel a lot better. I have currently lost 42% of my excess weight. Dr told me that 40% is where I should be after 1 year. well I am happy to say its only been 7 months.
     
    Found my new best friend at the Gym - The ELLPTICAL MACHINE :thumbup: Not sure why but I was always intimidated by it.
     
    well that is it for now and I post as things happen.

  3. Just a quick thought

    · Thewall26 · 10/20/09 08:01 PM

    So I was thinking the other night. I recently took a trip to visit some old college friends that I had not seen in about 12 years. I was very excited about this. One of them was a female friend, and yes we were only friends. I had the biggest crush on her in college which she knew about, but nothing ever came from it. Well the night we all went out alcohol start to take its toll and we start talking. She tells me she is sorry for not liking me the way I liked her. I told her that she had nothing to be sorry about. it happens. We are both married now and in great relationships so there is no reason to be sorry. She still continued to apologize. She thinks that i still like her. I told her of course I still liked her but just as a really good friend. This leads to her telling me I was too NICE, and that I KNOW WHERE NICE GUYS FINISH!!!!!
     
    Now under normal conditions I would just let that slide. The next day while I traveled home I started to think more about the conversation. I think I was just used a lot during college, even high school. THe reason I say this is I AM ALWAYS THE NICE GUY. I think deep down this is what lead to one of my reasons for having the surgery. I was sick of always being the FAT friend, NICE GUY, Ect........ Granted I am married to a wonderful woman now but those were many of the thoughts that went through and continue to go through my head. Deep down I want to show them all.
     
    THe friend I had in college is still a great friend and we have talked about that night and think everything is good now. I told her how it made me feel and she apologized for it. Just some stuff I needed to get off my chest.

  4. Need to get on track

    · Thewall26 · 10/20/09 08:05 PM

    I have been sliding from my diet and exercise since surgery. I am currently 3 months out and have gained 3 pounds back from my initial weight loss. I have partnered with a person I meet on Facebook that has had the surgery and we are helping each other out. I have been doing good the past 4 days, with eating right and going to the gym. I go in for a fill exam on the 4th of Nov so we will se what happens.
