Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all are doing well.

I am still fluctuating back and forth between the same 3 lbs everyday. I broke it and went down to 229 but went back up to 232 and keep going back and forth. Am going with all liquids today to try to break the stall. Wish I could exercise as im sure that would help!

Found out the surgeon that was going to do my back surgery is now out of network for my insurance so today I am trying to find someone else. Means starting over and hoping I can find a surgeon who will help. I am so sick of this and frustrated beyond belief. If nothing else I'll stay with the same surgeon and pay the 30%. Would be alot of money after a big major surgery but would have to do monthly payments, probably for the rest of my life! Fingers crossed that I can find someone else to help!

So I did liquids only on Monday and since then have been focusing on only protein. Was 228 this am which broke my mini stall! Kicking it in gear when in a stall works!

Holy balls just returned from a 1100 mile trip with over six hundred driven on Monday. My flat ass hurts! I really miss my butt cheeks!

My face is getting so wrinkly...I have jowls and the skin under my neck is so loose and goose like. I did this to be healthy, but, I'm looking old. Demoralizing....I can live with the loose skin on my body, I guess, but my face is just looking old...

People always tell me I look young. I always said that it was because the fat filled out the wrinkles. That was one thing I worried about before surgery. With a thinner face, would my wrinkles be bad??

Well here is my update. I finally feel emotionally ready to share it with u guys. I found out at my appt Mon that I have lost the babies. It was probably the worst day of my entire life. I can't even put words to how the last few days have been. I had hope to be able to pass them naturally and that has not happened..and my dr told me could possibly be more difficult at 10 weeks. I go today for my d&c. It's definitely not what I wanted or even planned. I'm finally in a phase I'm starting to feel some what better and can hold my head up without crying nonstop. I've basically avoided all of my friends and even my family. I just couldn't handle the pity and words they would feel they were obligated to tell me. It makes no sense to me and I don't think it ever will. It's so hard to come from 2 babies and seeing tiny heartbeat to having nothing. At this point I'm just wanting to work through my grief. There will be no more babies as my husband and I just don't feel we can do this again. This is our 2nd miscarriage together and my 4th total. It's hard to swallow a crackhead can do it, a 14year old girl can do it..and so many other that don't want their children or the ones who abuse them. I have no answers and it hurts to even think about it too much.

At this point I'm trying to do as my husband keeps suggesting and focus in on the positive. It's hard to see and feel right now but there is some there. I do have a beautiful and wonderful 10year old who is the light of my life and I have love of a wonderful man. I want to try to focus in more on myself. Continue this journey I started and try to max it out to the most. That's all I want right now...to feel ok. I want to thank y'all for all the love and support. You guys are the most amazing friends I could ask for. I will try to get back in touch with u guys when this is all over. If u have a moment and time for a extra prayer..I could really use it today.
