pics update Feb 23, 2018



Recommended Posts

I've hit a gain/stal for about a week and a half. I was 291, then 289 (1 week or so ago) then miraculously went up to 293..
I should be used to this by now- I know
Anyway, yesterday, Feb 22, I weighed 287. Whew. But the picture my friend took aren't a good illustration of this win
You know that feeling when you are at your lowest weight so far, and yet, you look BIGGER in this pic than ones 20 pounds heavier?

But Authenticity is the commitment to be real, even when it makes you cringe inside, right?
So...
First picture was Feb 21, 2018
Second picture was today Feb 23

I hate the way I look but I want to be genuine in this journey
and.. While I know I probably sound hypocritical as I always preach that it's on the inside that counts and spend so much time talking about the heart, I am a lot like everyone else. I am cruel to my own self, while I think the world of others. (you all) It's true. I am where I am though and I am content to be me . So no worries

p.s. I have grown though. Anyone close to me could tell you. I would have never posted a full body pic of myself. That's why for years you've only seen face shots.. Be gentle on me. I'm on a pride makeover as well'

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
