Do or do not... There is no try.

I do NOT want them to make a movie remake of my favorite book! NO no No!!!!

I don’t know if I’ll see The Perks of Being a Wall Flower. It’s one of my all time favorite books. I just hope they do it justice. Low budget and true to the story is what I’d like to see.

Feeling awesome! I’m down almost 120 lbs but up 120% in health and happiness!

I feel so lucky to have my boyfriend, Matt. I had my left two wisdom teeth pulled on Wednesday and he took care of me all day. I was not easy to deal with but he knows how to handle me when I’m upset.

We’ve only been together five months but it seems like so much longer. I trust him and I feel completely safe with him. I see us together for a long time.

One year later…

My wls was June 1, 2011. My journey started that January when my then fiancé broke off the wedding and our relationship. I took a good look at my life and by my mom’s suggestion we went to a wls seminar. My mom told me about her coworker who had lap band. This coworker strongly recommended the program she went thru. Well, we went to the seminar and I was all set to meet with the surgeon and pick lap band. After some research, I came to realize that gastric bypass would be a better choice for me. Well, after almost four months since the seminar, and loads of testing, I was set for surgery. I feel so lucky that my insurance is so good.. I didn’t have to do a doctor supervised diet qor jump thru a lot of hoops..

Start of liquid… Day of surgery… One year later.
Weight…(290 highest) 277/ 269/ 172… total loss of 118 lbs from my highest weight and 93 since surgery.
BMI… 44.7/ 43.4/ 27.8
Bust… 50”/ 48.5”/ completely flat. I didn’t have much in the boobs to begin with and now it’s much less. I’m not measuring it.
Waist… 47/ 44/ 33
Hips… 57/ 55.5/ 42
Upper Arm (L/R)… 15/15, 15/15, 12/13… Would be much smaller if I could get the skin to shrink down.
Thigh (L/R)… 30.5/30.25, 30/30.5, 24.5/24

My pants size was a 28… Now, I’m size 12.
My shirt size was a 3xl… Now, I’m a size large.

I’m so glad of this tool that I’ve been given.

I had my left two wisdom teeth pulled today. I’d rather have my gastric Bypass surgery again. Awful pain. I need better pain meds.

The past six weeks I’ve been in a funk. I haven’t gone to the gym tho I know I should. I had a really bad “that time of the month” then had my mouth swollen shut for a week, doctors apts and dentist apts… The excuses go on. I can’t seem to get in the mind set to go. I’m having two wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow so i doubt I’ll want to go. Meh. What do you guts do to get motivated?
