It's been a Looong Time!

Hi old friends and newbies! I hope this message finds everyone doing well. I have missed my old pals here. I have been keeping quite busy until recently. Decided I wanted to switch jobs and it seemed to be the BIGGEST mistake I have ever made, so now I'm trying to get back into the hospital. I stayed on at the hospital where I started 2 1/2 years ago, but only as a call-in and they have had NO openings for anything in the past month. UGH! Patiently waiting I guess. Health wise.... UGH! I have gained a little back. About 10-15 lbs (it varies). I'm so frustrated because I never did make it to my goal.........NOT EVEN CLOSE! Still no tummy tuck either. My insurance would not cover me going to a plastic surgeon that I wanted to go to, and well; with 2 kids and sick hubby... there's NO WAY I can pay for it out of my pocket 100%... BUMMER. I feel like if I was able to have my tummy tuck, so many things would be easier. Exercising, playing softball, and SO MUCH MORE! I find myself eating too much also. Well, too much for me. I don't really graze, I just find myself putting CRAP in my mouth or eating "just ONE more bite" because it tastes so good. That is what got me where I was in the first place and I need to STOP it before I get out of control again! Basically, I just need to get BACK TO BASICS! I am going to join the YMCA and get on a good exercise schedule again (yes, I have also gotten exericse lazy)... I find myself using the excuse, "Oh, I just don't have the time today"... NOT a good excuse! That's about it for now. I can't wait to hear from you all. I really hope you are all doing well! (((HUGS))) Tammy

Tammy, Yeah it has been a long time.....well I had my tummy tuck last spring....I was terrified to have it with my history. But I have to admit I feel a lot better. I still get sick all the time..They told me it would take a couple years for body to get my immune system back to normal.....I catch anything at the drop of a hat. I have been just busy with the family...SSSHHH and LOOKing for a single man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you would think I am like 200 lbs lighter I would find one but havent....Been on a date or two but not my type don't know why......I guess just set in my way or to dang on picky....I have hit my goal and actually kind of underweight right now....but I eat all the time....I never thought in a million years I would hate food and eating....but there are days where i dont want to eat but then there are days i cant get enough to eat...one day i will figure this out....keep in touch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
