Sunday Check In

Good morning from rainy Chicago. We had 2 nice days of weather, so I am thankful.
I am holding my own, weightwise, bu5 it's a struggle! I can't wait till I can afford my tummy tuck. I am sick of stuffing my skin into my clothes.

Nice weather here too Shar, it's about time.
As for me, Im 135.5 today
Still on IV's, not eating, pain..........same old story.
I do go see a specialist on Thursday so maybe I can finally get some answers.
Wish me luck.
Have a great week everyone.

I am also holding my own.  Still hovering between 158 and 163.  But I'll take that because two years ago I was at 292.  My hubby keeps telling me, YOU'RE SO SKINNY!!  I still have problems with that.  I keep looking in the mirror and still see fat.  I have a tummy of loose skin also, but I can't afford the plastic surgery at this time.  Since I had to pay $21,000.00 for my surgery not sure it is the right time.  Hope all of my A-Teamers are doing well.  Jan

OMG!!!! I made my birthday goal! I wanted to be in the 160's by my 50th birthday, Tuesday! I made it. It feels great to be loosing again. I went over a year with only loosing a pound here and there. Finally, I am loosing again. Have a great week!

been a wall for a while,
I have been working and it is killing me lol I am soo tired. I have not worked in 10 years and then to work 50 hours a week it is crazy! I love my job though!! I wi**** was full time because I love it.
I weighed myself today for the first time in months and I am 225. I feel awful I look worse and I am round now instead of flat! I am spiraling into a deep depression and hope to bounce out soon. I have not gone to my 2 year check up. I am too ashamed to face my dr. I am leaving at 5 am to go vist my grandma in wisconsin with the kids. I hope it is a good visit I have to get away from my husband before I kill him. I am grteatful for the surgery but I see it is but a tool and I am failing at it. I have to work out and that is the promblem!! I have to put me first! I have to succeed why am I sabotaging myself?
ok sorry but thought I needed so accountability!!
love ya guys happy april!!!

Dee I am so happy to see you post. I was at my my high intensity training class last week and their was this girl  that had wls and she  was 5 years out post wls and she had hit this wall and stop showing up  to suport group was even here on obesity help and she told me the worst thing she ever did was STOP showing up and make her self accountiable for her weight and before she knew it she was 350 lbs and she woke up and decided it was time to come back join the gym and go back to her doc and she is now gonna go in and have the rose procedure to help her lose weight. I told her I am so proud of HER because u r making a come back and I told her I gained two pounds and I was hiding my head in sand for gaining two pounds but u know what a few added pounds and reporting it is far better that not showing up on boards and being  295 again. I am so glad u keep showing up here I am here for you dee .. I can never ever say ty enought for giving me courage to go get a TT that was the best decsion I ever made I know I have a eating disorder and I know I am weak at times. Let me tell you onion rings are calling my me lately ( strange craving) but it is what I want so bad. Food is my addiction drug of choice to help me cope with stress. I had hit a wall and I was about  ready to give up on my emt life and let it expire and I am so glad my hubby got my butt in gear I been having big time marriage up's and downs and so glad hubby actually pulled threw  for me. I guess the old MAN  loves me after all LOL  I told him u know u must really hate me as I am drowning  here and u r not even tossing me in a life perserver here I guess he figured this perimenopuse was getting to me
I have been this emotional wreck  for weeks with no periods  THOUGHTS of menopause on horizon  and well let me tell you I was so happy when aunt flow showed up. I was going bonkers talk about being the biggest PMS be-itch. This am I feel I have this renewed energy and ready to kick my butt into gear. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE HAPPY AUNT  FLOW ROLLED INTO TOWN. but let me tell u perimenopause sucks I have been on this emotional rollar coaster and I was a mess. I was going nuts.I felt like this PMS was building and and I was on verge of eruption  I know menopuase is gonna be a bear for me,
Hand in there Dee u r one amazing woman u just had a temp set back and u will Get the hang of it after all u look amazing no matter what your scale says u r so pretty.. U REALLY DO LOOK GOOD. Remember u had alot of pannis removed. I still have day I swell
