WHATS HAPPENING MONDAY

Oh my gosh did I ever dump last night….While we were on vacation I tried bites of desserts here and there enough to know that Sugar didn’t bother me, Or so I thought. I guess I just hadn’t eaten enough of the stuff at one time. I made Joe an ice cream pie, I use a s.f. cookie crust and s.f. peanut butter cups in it but the ice cream was real cho**** cream. So big brave me said I wanted a piece too , Actually I think I had forgotten that I ue real ice cream in it. About 2 hours later I started getting so sick, dizzy, dry heaves (nothing in my stomach)  Serves me right , guess I wont be eating sugars anymore lol

 

I did have some good news for myself tho today. I was cleaning up around my desk and ran across my weight and measure book, (I had misplaced it and hadn’t put any entries in a couple of months.

I have gotten to where I hardly ever weight anymore and even tho I knew I was weighing less that I was I didn’t remember how much it was.

The last time I had a weight entry was November 14^th, when I weighed 165 pounds , I weighed today and weight 155 pounds. That is 10 pounds in two months. I didn’t realize that I was still losing that much at this far out. I am 18 months out from surgery. That isnt all either I have lost at least ½ inche to one inch everywhere.. Amazing well everywhere except my belly …I think it finally made me make up my mind about having a tummy tuck. Looks like no matter how much I lose all around that thing it isnt going to go down all of that hanging skin isnt going anywhere.

We went to town today and I bought a new outfit, Size  Small….wow  says size 6-8 well the pants do they didn’t have a jacket to match in a small so I got med in the jacket.

Its bright red velor and I love being able to wear stuff like this now . I think im getting pretty brave about color.

 

TRACI: lol I know what you mean about the house getting dirty over and over again.

I guess as the old saying goes. A womans work is never done.

You sound like you have the same values as I do on a lot of things including raising children. It just amazes me about how some raise their children. Such a shame.

Hope you had a great day Sunday.

 

 

COLETTE: thanks for looking at our pictures. We really did have a great time and got some sun

Thanks for the compliments too I really appreciate it . Makes an old woman feel pretty good lol

 

 

Guess I will post this and try to go back to bed and sleep some more. 

Love to all

GOD BLESS EVERYONE

 

 

Hellooo Mo Welcome back Jan!  I hardly have any time to post anywhere these days....but a quick update before I hurry off to my JOB! this is my 4th week and I still have the butterflys but they are getting better according to the scales at work I am now 303...4 pounds from being under 300! WOW! that is just so exciting to me!   its been over 20 yrs since I was at this weight! I had to do some shopping for some clothing...a jacket for the still COLD am and some 3x pants for work...I havent tried them on....I may be able to wear them....I know that one of the kids went to Eureka Springs yesterday and got me a new shirt...size 2x(big) and it FIT! well of course it dosent fit me the way I would want it to for wearing but it did fit and it wont be long before I will be wearing it to work. may I say how surreal all of this is. just this time last yr I was wearing my 10x shirts yes they were some loose on me but comfy...now my 5 and 4xs are loose and comy shirts I love being back to work and my first paycheck  gave me such an awesome feeling! everyday I thank God every day for my WLS and the life I am getting back. well I gotta go chip ice off my van and go to work! nutti

Morning everyone Stay safe with the winter weather on the way.  Those south are already getting it this morning, the rest of us are waiting for it to arrive later.   Jan:  I've tried real ice cream twice.  I dump every time.  No can do that at all.  I think it's the combo of the sugar and the fat.  Whatever it is - it's dump-city for me.  And I hear ya on the tummy tuck!  I carry my weight in my middle - always have.  Seven children and all this weight loss later, that hasn't changed; I now carry my excess skin there.  My stomach has always been the one thing I would change, and honestly losing more weight isn't what I need, I need a tummy tuck.  I'm thin everywhere else, but my stomach needs some work.  And now see, your sizing and weight issue is a perfect example of it must be where I carry my weight or something that messes me up.  I am 5 ' 5.5 " tall and weigh 150 lbs.  I'm wearing size 12, at least that's what my clothing tags say.  I've got some size 10's I can wear.  Are you really tall Jan?  Why are you 155 and wearing size 6-8 and I'm wearing 12?   Makes no sense!  I guess again, it's because I'm carrying all of this excess in my stomach.    Who knows!  Not that I'm really hung up on numbers on a scale or clothing tag:  but, it's just odd that two people weigh within 5 pounds of each other and yet, there's such a big difference in clothing sizes.  Anywho - gotta run.  Have a great day everyone!! 

Good morning Jan and board.. well Jan I just missed you again, we were at branson yesterday for my sisters birthday party and we went by the shopping center next time I am gonna call you and see where you are at, we drove over with my Bro. and sis, in law.  I got to see some pictures of the 35 ft. christmas tree that my neice decorated for the Hilton as I was sick and didnt get to see it for real, she has her on decoratoring business and she really stays busy.  Jan I love your pictures you look so good, you dont need to lose anymore do you? dont you love to hear someone say thats enough weight loss?... you look wonderful.. my weight loss has slowed down for me I am at around 166 now.. and at my highest point I was 309 before surgery, wow sometimes I cant believe it, so people if I can do it anyone can do it as it was always so hard for me to lose, I kept thinking I will be the only one that this want work for.. and vrooooommm. I love it.. well they say we are going to get bad weather I need to get some supplies in.   Jan sorry about your dumping I havent dumped in awhile, but I did a couple of times, but not on sugar I have been afraid to try it..lol  I fix the cottage cheese fluff when I get hungery for sweets it is so good..I use big box of low fat cottage and lg. box orange sf jello dissolved in a cup of ho****er add fruit ****tail sweetened with splenda..and last add a tub of sf cool whip, this is just wonderful stuff..well I will hush for now, everyone stay safe in this weather....vesta
