You will definately get to the cardio kickboxing by january for sure! Just keep at it!:clap2:

Cardio kickboxing is the best! Yes, I know I'm late replying to this one, but I used to adore that, I want to work back up to it too. Its great for stress relief. You just picture the person annoying you most and punch your heart out!

well I think my interview went well... I'll know in a couple of weeks.

On alchohol. I like it. Actually, having the gallbladder out I think affects me the most in that regard. I'm now a cheap drunk. This can be annoying on occasion, but also nice. My tolerance is way down. I suspect I need to work on drinking more, more often to bring it back up. I like wine. I love partially flat diet tonic water-- I mix it with everything. I adore anejo tequillas. Especially corazon and tesoro paradiso. Margaritas are also nice. My most fav drink is good tequila with a bit of lime juice and some tonic Water. I can drink carbonation, and I do, but I burp a lot, and I need to take it really easy after a fill.

I recently bought myself a bunch of clothes. I didn't like the idea of clothes when I know my size will change, but I need some that fit and don't have stains or rips, etc. And I bought them all on clearance and sale. I got some shirts at JCPenny's at their online outlet for less then ten dollars. I have this thing for 3/4 sleeve striped shirts. I just love those-- don't ask me why. my "uniform" I guess. That and anything with skulls. Ok, so I probably need fashion help, but I find that stuff incredibly terrible confusion. I was able to learn how to do basic makeup in only one season and was starting to get a hang of hair-- those things seem more stable. But other than learning my colors (for me its simple. I'm a summer with reddish hair, and thanks to Henna, its now red. Since my dad was a redhead I've inherited the redheaded pale complexion, only I have just a few freckles. So I am very pale and pink. This means I can only wear three colors-- blue, green, and neutral. I can wear certain shades of pink, but quite frankly its too confusing for me to navigate the difference from nice to ugh, so pink is a no. If I try to wear purple, people actually sit me down and talk to me. Its kind of funny. And even I know better than to put on things like yellow) I wouldn't know much of where to start.

I bought a pair of jeans. This might sound simple, but I haven't bought a pair of jeans not from Lane Bryant since I was a teen. Then after I got the band they moved out the mall and it took me a while to notice. Of course I don't wear the W cut anymore-- its too baggy in the seat for me. Of course the misses cut still gives me extra fabric around the waist, but I've got a serger to play with. So I had to find a place with a size 18 misses. Oh and I wanted it in a tall. Thats my new thing-- tall sizes.

I discovered those when I got my shirts. I'm not that tall, but I've found it really does make a nice difference in things like sleeve length, shoulders sometimes, torso proportions (I have a long torso). I like things to be where they are suppposed to be. So I found the midrise flair/bootcut jeans with a bit of stretch I wanted as cheap as I could. I'll need to hem them a bit. So that means I gained what, an inch? oooh... still, it was worth it to try on a pair that actually fit. Made me feel good. I also got a skirt from Torrid, size 16. Some blouses they had on sale with skulls on them. Seeing the smaller sizes on clothes is a confidence booster. So is fitting into older clothes.

Another thing I've noticed is that Protein, my large Unjury shake in the AM, is a big deal in terms of my hunger and eating habbits.

My last fill was small, just .3 And its lasting... But I eat here and there and lots of bad things if I don't get my unjury. But with unjury I'm so much better. Obviously I need to work on my head issues and habbits, but I think I underestimate the role of protein sometimes.

Ok, I'm off to school. I have the most fun in grad school. Honest. Today I volunteer at the children's book center. I'm working on a project about video games in libraries-- I might have to go play some. I'm doing another one on closed captioning and DVS movies and the advantages of them. The third project is on sex ed books. I'm looking at allegedly dirty pictures, and its all for class.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
