Update on me...Long time no post!
First off, sorry I havent been around much lately! With the football season in full swing, and my job taking on added responsiblities, I have had so little time!
Heres the latest on me:
As of today, I have lost 70 pounds. I had a goal of breaking two hundred before my birthday, which is weds, and I am still four pounds away. :( I am consoling myself with the fact that I am slimming like crazy and adding muscle everyday due to my high intensity sports participation!
I have been struggling with food for the last few weeks. My body is screaming for carbs with the intense workouts. After two or three hour workouts, I have a really hard time eating. Nothing sits well when I am exhausted. SO relying alot on shakes and bars at the moment. I dont want to get in the habit of that, but I am really having some tolerance issues.
This last weekend we had 7 hours of football practice in the 95 degree heat. I am soooo dehydrated. Really tough. I actually almost went to the hospital last night, was running a fever and really lethargic. I feel a little better this morning, but I am really pushing fluids. You medical types feel free to chime in if I should go in to the hospital and get hydrated. I am really at a loss here.
In the last two weeks the body fairy flew through my house and reclaimed my breasts. Hate that damn fairy. She giveth and taketh away. I had to go buy a bra that was a 38B. Thats down from my former 44C. Not a good thing. I just wait for the day I am at goal and I buy the most obnoxious pair I can get my hands on! LOL! On the flip side she recently dropped my hips off. I found pelvic bones I did not know existed. Ever.
Having some relationship issues. GF is very unhappy with her own weight which makes it a bit of a turnoff for me, since she is so obsessed with it. Very jealous of football, and its rough. We are seeing my therapist, so hoping we can work through it. Time seems so much more precious to me since surgery. I feel like I am spinning my wheels in this relationship sometimes, and thats not a great feeling for me.....
I am off to work, but wanted to fill you all in. Miss being here more often, I will try and fit it back in my schedule!

Just remember muscle weighs more than fat so you prolly would be under 200 if not for football.
Personally, I would hit up the er. Nothing like a good IV to make ya feel better. I was dehydrated more often than not last year,
That
really can be a ***** I had nice boobs. Now I have NOTHING!!! Hubby keeps telling me after the TT is the boob job and he is picking out the biggest set he can find. Wants me at a DD cup. 
Was only a D in the first place.
Hope the therepy works. It helped the hubby and I. I was ready to leave over everything and now we are gonna try to breed.
Good luck with everything.

Oh fun! You might need one tonight then. I always waited until the dry heaves kicked in. Well, until the last time when I had the stomach flu. I went in before it got really bad. Still took 2 bags to hydrate me then.

Barb,
Nice to see you back. Man, I battled that 4 pounds from 200 ogre a few months back. Watching pounds so closely seems like waiting for water to boil. I think you have more than achieved your goal for your birthday. I am sure it will only be a matter of time before you see those 4 pounds disappear. I don't have any thoughts about your breasts. (I seldom have thoughts about women's breasts.) But, mine seem to be a more perky now!

Barb!!!! Welcome back. I'm glad you've been too busy living life and being healthy to post... although I've missed your posts of course but it's better to know you've been absent for good, healthy reasons. I've been so inspired by your courage and stamina to pursue the football. And I think it's HAWT!!!!
The relationship issue is hard. Clear communication is really the only answer and sometimes even that isn't enough. I have learned that if we don't love ourselves, receiving love from another is nearly impossible. It tends to work when both people are not loving themselves... somehow it balances or maybe misery and avoidance loves company but when one gets healthy, mentally, emotionally and physically, and the other doesn't it creates this imbalance and the lack of self love becomes apparent... to both. The interesting thing is that your GF doesn't have to lose weight to find that love. There is a wonderful book I'd recommend called "How We Choose To Be Happy". It's powerful and changed my entire process... understanding step by step how happiness and joy (and love) are not dependent on anything external. It's worth a try for you both because life is always going to be filled with crap and pain... it's the perception and CHOICES we make which determine our happiness and consequently much of the time, our success in relationships. Just a suggestion.
Hugs for you both, however it turns out.
