Topic: its that time again
well its that time again.
our 8 year anniversary.
as usual i am struggling with the weight. i had maintained at 176 for a few years but since i had developed low blood sugar i've ballooned between 183 to 186 and am horrified by it.
and terrified that the scale is going to go up and up and up back to the 300 mark.
i'm  eating the healthiest i ever have in my whole life but its very difficult to not gain with having to eat every 3 hours  or get sick.  i keep healthy snacks and meals but the calories just add up.
i no longer drink decaf coffee  jus****er here.
protein is a must for me and good carbs.
a treat is a sugar free popsicle but not too many of them cause my body thinks its real sugar and then bingo have a low blood sugar episode. which i hate so i'm very careful about those.
yes its a struggle but i do it every day.
the surgery did not make me have this illness i had it before and developed it from somethig stupid i had done. its inthe past and truthfully except for the weight i feel very good right now.
i'm tall so even though my weght is not what it was at my lowest i'm wearibg size 14. thats actually a normal size. its not what i had been wearing an i have a spare closet filled with lovely outfits that i refuse to get rid of becasue while i'm struggling i am also trying very hard to low just 20 pounds! that 20 pounds will et me wear some of them again.
also i need to excersize. not good at that. but agan i'm working on it!
we can alwasy improve ourselves rigth?
the biggest thing i did to improve myself happend almost 8 years ago on march 30th.
would i do it again
yes. in a heart beat.
i'm alive now becasue of it and i will live longer too.
this past 8 years has seen me grow. i've because one hell of a woman! much stronger than i ever thought i'd be and i just keep getting stronger.
i'm in a great relationship i have a great job. nice home good car.
i'vehad some sadness my mother passed away this year.
but i've also had some great happiness - my first and only grandchild lilttle Lillian named after her great grandma who loved her so much turned 1 year old in november.
what will the next 8 years bring?
hum don't know!
I hope all are well.
good luck and god bless.

Hi 'lizbet, believe it or not I'm just seeing this! Don't be afraid of the arm lift  - I had it done (at the same time as my girls) 7 years ago and it still is the best thing I ever did. Do your homework and you will find the right surgeon. Look into the research universities in your area that have a research hospital on campus, chances are you will be able to get into a program that is very reasonably priced with outstanding outcomes. I'm going to try and get this 20 lbs. off that I've gained (man, it's hard!), and then I'm going to have a face lift. Maybe look into that Lifestyle Lift that I see on t.v., all the time. I'm sick of looking 20 years older than I really am! Love to you - I miss this board. Love, Reenie

Hi Reenie,

Love ya! U know I'm always for it, but, alas, I am horribly inconsistent with my posts here. (But I'm on facebook much more than I'm on here although not consistently there either lol). and always ready to be your  buddy! In fact, I was thinking of your M&M issue... Do you still have it?? I have a Lindt chocolate Truffle issue. I LOVE, obsessed with the Lindt truffle chocolate balls. ugh and they are pricey too!!  I eat them almost every day. I dont eat much else... I mean I don't eat other BAD foods much. I eat a very small breakfast a very small lunch (sometimes)** and a very small dinner (sometimes). **sometimes I skip lunch or dinner altogether. I have been taking my vitamins, b12 (I take nascobal once a month which is a prescription. One nose in the nostril so I dont have to go and get the B12 needles at the docs office). I also take vitamin D (prescription strength). I have been doing that religiously. I think it's what keeps me healthy. Period. I try not to focus on food (aside from the chocolate issue) because I know I am not gaining and at times I drop a pound. But I DO have to start exercising. Which has ALWAYS been my downfall and I sound like a broken record. It's my issue. I'm forever saying I gotta exercise and then don't. Ugh. the sickening procrastination and my weakness. lol... It is what it is. (which is just laziness on my part regarding that exercise). Anywhoo... I'm here, I book marked this page on my title bar so all I have to do is click the pic and it will take me here. So I'm gonna try to be on here often!!! ((hugs!!)) missed you!

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to stop on in and say hi! I know I see some of you on facebook and try to keep in touch there, but have to stop by here and get back into gear so to speak. I'm looking into plastic surgery. I need an arm lift and thigh lift and the works. My goal right now is an arm lift and I'm scared! I want to pick the right plastic surgeon who is very knowledgable and experienced and still someone I can afford. Afford, unfortunately, is my driving factor. (although the surgeon has to be good). Anyone have any info? I'm in Delaware so anyone in this state or surrounding states. Hugs to all my Marchers I haven't seen in so long!!! Hope everyone is doing awesome and everyone is enjoying their summer!!! Love to all you guys!!!

Actually, I think our friendship has strengthened this past year, in a warped sort of way! :) Thanks for responding
