On my Feet

Today I was determined to get up out of bed and stay up all day which I did. I also got out of the house for a bit. It definetly wore me out but I survived. I am feeling better each day and hoping that by Monday I will feel really good and strong. I know that it will tire me out but I am sure I will be up to it.. If not I will ask to leave early. Well I am going to get ready for bed and rest up. Till next time..

update

I am home and doing fairly well.. It is not as bad as I thought but of course the drugs help ALOT. I got home about 3 and tried to eat some soup I did eat a bit and then took a nap.. I then had some ice cream which really settled my stomache... Duane and Nick are great. Nick is taking off school tomorrow to stay with me and drive me to the doctor to get checked out. Well I am going to sign off eyes are getting tired... Later

Surgery Day

It is 5 in the morning and ready to take off to the hospital.. I have to say I am ready.. yesterday was a long day and this morning I am really really hungry but if Ihad to choose whether to eat or drink I would take drinking over eating.. I hate being thirsty so that is the challenge this morning. but soon I will be off to dream land and all will be good... I am anxious to be done and over with this and start the recovery process. I will post when I am up to it and to all that called thanks..

To Eat or Not to Eat that is the Question

Well on Tuesday I have my surgery and I have to say I am a bit apprehensive about it but I am sure all will go well... what is ironic about things is I made my goal weight and today is the day that I really feel I need to eat. Why? Well, tomorrow I am on clear liquids all day and have to then do 2 enemas so needless to say I will be hungry tomorrow.. so my thought is fill up today. Right? So I will confess I want to go to a Chinese Buffet tonite and eat.. I have not had Chinese since I started WW's and my thought is I can eat it and it will be gone tomorrow... Now I am having a talk in my head thinking is this the right frame of mind and really it is not... so my plan is to not gorge myself but to have what I love and enjoy it and be done... so all you out there who are reading this give my your opinions I really would aprreciate it... and Mame I know what you will say already (LOL) but to my WW's buddies really give me your opinion. .... till next time...

I DID IT

Yesterday was weigh in and meeting but it was extra special I hit my goal weight. What this means is now I am on the maintenance program and have to learn how to maintain this weight. As alot of you know I have lost and regained several times in my life and maintaining is my challenge. I got to get up in front of the group at the meeting and what I said is this is not the end of my journey but really the beginning. I said that WW's maintenance program is what brought me here and that I am comitted to coming to meetings and weigh ins weekly for the rest of my life. That is what I have always needed is support and accountability for my weight. It really was not this woohoo thing for me since I have done this before my BIG WOHOO will be 5 years from now when I am still at this weight.. I know that their will be times when I go up and will have to evaluate the situation but I will NEVER go back to where I came from.. I feel so comfortable at this weight and with myself.. As of yesterday I was down 53.8 lbs... I do not ever want to have that much weight on my body again... physically it not healthy. For all that are working on losing I want to tell you that it is so worth it to keep on keeping on. Take each day at a time and remember what your goal is and that is to be a happier and healthier you not only for yourself but for your family and friends... and remember I am always here to talk and want you to be there for me when I need a kick in the rear... one more thing I bought a pair of new jeans with my Kohl bucks.. guess what size ???? Come on Guess!!! Are you ready??? Size 10!!!!!! When I started this I was in a size 20 -22 all I can say to that is Holy Shit!!!!!!!

What I LOVE about

Being down 50lbs!!! I can cross my legs without being uncomfortable. I can put on a outfit , any outfit, and it fits.. I feel healthy. I can walk up and down the steps without being out of breath. I am content with myself. I am happy... Life is good...

Celebration!!!

Today I weighed in and have lost 50+ lbs ... I have about 2 lbs to my goal weight!!! To all my friends who are on WW's keep up what your doing.. Don't give up..Enjoy the journey. It is worth it... I feel so so much better physically and emotionally I can't even describe. I have learned so much and I know that I will continue to learn.. I know that I will need the support of weekly meetings forever and the support of my WW buddies... I have met so many great people and know that they are the key to my success... I am have a bit of challenge coming in a few weeks.. I will be having surgery on the 28th and will not be able to workout for a bit but this time around I am not relying on exercise for losing so I am sure I will be fine.. I know that I will be able to walk so that will be fine since walking is the best exercise ... as for this surgery it will not be real pleasant since they are doing some reconstructive work besides the female surgery so keep me in your thoughts since I know the pain level may be unpleasant but all I can say is THANK GOD for DRUGS!!!!!! I will get thru it but I may have to whine to some of you so be ready.... Enjoy the beautiful fall weather and thanks for listening...

I have Decided

I have decided that I am going to choose my own weight goal.. now it is only 4 lbs more than weight watchers goal and is not that big of a difference but I am preety close to my goal and since I have bought so much clothes I just feel this is a good weight for me.. I will just need to have my doctor say that it is a good weight for me which she will no problem.. I originally choose this number in my head before I even knew what WW 's number was so obviously it is a comfortable weight for me and not unrealistic. I also would like to make my goal before I have the surgery for my female problems and bladder problems.. but if I dont that is ok too... I feel no rush to get to the goal weight because I know I will.. I am one lb from losing 50 lbs I may that this Saturday depending on my weigh in. My doctors visit to check out my bladder went well and of course I need some work done so that is no suprise. I am meeting with my other doc next Thursday to get surgery scheduled... well gonna go chill take care..
