SENSELESSLY GOOFY THREAD.... DO I REALLY CARE?

 HMMMMMMMM ..... NO! Not really .... I am having fun ... on my journey... What's my journey? It is my life and I am living it one.day.at.a.time .... with health and mobility ... with joy in my heart ... joy that by far compensate for all the tears I still shed and all the smiles that I embrace daily ... the later is much greater than the former indeed .... and my former was good...

From my journal a picture a day .... my personal conclusion:  IMO (and I speak ONLY for me) NO FORM/TYPE OF WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY WORKS AS A STANDALONE TOOL ... THE **** TAKES A LOT OF INPUT ... AS WELL AS OUTPUT ... THERE ARE RULES AND PROTOCOLS TO BE FOLLOWED IN ALL ... 

What I put into my PERSONAL weight loss journey ... (not only what I put into my mouth) but ALSO the effort I put into keeping my body fit and moving is just about the same effort my group of friends (of which the ONLY one with WLS is I) are putting into their wellness journey for life...   WHEN I GET MY ARSE UP TO RUN AT 4:00 AM OR TO DO A FITNESS ROMP IN THE PM OR ON A SUNDAY MORNING ... When I hit the pool to swim laps or go to Bikram for hot yoga body detox and mental relaxation because I WANT TO ...  I RESERvE 100% RIGHTS TO PICTURE ***** ALL I WANT TO ... LOL... oooppsss.... ONLY UNTIL OH TELLS ME NOT TO ...which I hope they don't as I try to encourage myself here or maybe ONE other sista or brother on the journey ....   IT IS MY JOURNEY AND I AM LOVING IT ... ONE.DAY.AT.A.TIME .... ONE SWEAT AT A TIME .... One kick in the arse at a time to get up and get moving ... ONE GET A GRIP SPIEL AT A TIME when I know that one extra raisin is going to make me feel like **** ...   Should I fall (oh and life is all about taking falls and getting back up and not staying down)... I AM GETTING UP ... I WILL BE RUBBING MY GENETICALLY PLACED BIG BUTT THAT I STILL HAVE TODAY (any ideas how to lose it?)... AND STARTING OVA .... no matter how many times I try or how many times I fail....   From my WLS 2/5/07 to date.. I have tracked it all ... a picture a day...   

  

 

my bedroom is my palace ... very rarely I show any picture other than in from of my busted wall that I painted in my floor damaged basement... 

 

 

 WOOT ... GOT MARRIED FAT AND REAFFIRMED MY VOWS THE YEAR AFTER MY SURGERY SLENDER... FROM 2008 TO 2011 STILL FIT THE SAME DRESS ... WHICH I WILL BE WEARING AGAIN A FEW MONTHS FROM NOW TO AGAIN REAFFIRM MY VOWS TO THAT SPECIAL MAN IN MY LIFE...

I WAS A FAT BRIDE AND I REAFFIRMED A SLENDER BRIDE ... I MET HIM WITH AN 'AFRO' ... THEN HE HAD A 'FRO' ... AND NOW HE HAS AN 'O' ... BUT I STILL LOVE HE AND HE LOVES WRINKLY DIMPLY ME LOL FAT OR SLENDER....


  

RUNNING FOR FITNESS EVERY 5-10 OR 20K I CAN RUN I RUN IT! AND I RUN JUST EVERY OTHER DAY TOO... 

  

HECK EVEN GOT THE WHOLE FAMILY (MINIS DH WHO PHYSICALLY CAN'T) RUNNING...   ME AND MY SON ... MY PRIDE... MY JOY AND MY BIGGEST PITA... 

  

AND KEPT TAKING A PICTURE A DAY.... RANDOMLY....   

 

  
  
 
  
   

GOOFY PICTURES DID NOT MATTER... 

  

I JUST KEEP IT MOVING AND DOING ME ... AT THE END OF THE DAY IT IS MY JOURNEY AND I AM OWNING IT THE WAY I LIKE ....

Hey ... I am an OLD girly girl ... AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ... that is after I progressed from my childhood tomboy days ... hey was the best one climbing the trees and winning at games of marbles in the dirt with the boys ...    I LOVE TO READ... I LOVE TO  WORK... I LOVE TO DINE IN OR OUT AND MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES FOR ME... I LOVE TO EXERCISE (EVEN IF IT MEANS TAKING A MENTAL SHOT OF GERITOL OR KICKING MY ARSE INTO GEAR) BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE ... I LOVE HAIR AND CLOTHES AND GLITTER AND SHINE ....    WHAT A GOOFY POST ... AS GOOFY AS MY JUNK FOR FUN EARRINGS DRAWER ... I WON'T SHOW YOU MY BRACELET DRAWER ... I LOVE LOVE LOVE CHARM BRACELETS ..

 Thank you Mary ... the little things ... little by little... inch by inch ... minute by minute are what count ... I think I want to count them all ... even the seconds...

Thank you so much for your encouragement and support today... 

Love your passion!  Thanks so much for sharing your journey!  

I am pre-op and you truly are an inspiration!

 Thank sooooooooooo much.... Congratulations on your journey .. from start to finish ... preop to post op and during and maintenance ... it is all so very worth it ... Wishing you nothing but the best!!!

I agree you are an inspiration. I am also pre-op and yes I am starting this journey for health reasons, but boy you look great! I especially like the picture of your son with you at the run. How cool that you have your family right in there with you. Congrats!

 My beautiful sista ... I started the journey for health reasons only myself.... my daughter had taken a fall upstairs in the house and I could not make it up a flight of stairs ... the fire dept. and the paramedics moved me out of the way as I was trying to DRAG myself up the stairs ... and I had 5 co-morbidities on top of that.  I was seeking HEALTH and Mobility ... and that is what I got ... I ALWAYS dressed myself nicely at the highest weight I was coifed and groomed and thinking I took the room (even if that was just in my head that is how I felt)  even at the highest weight of 327 pounds I dressed to impress myself ... and like today I made most of my clothing then too ...  Now I am just living healthy and cruising and loving it!!!! one.day.at.a.time. 

Congratulations on your pursuit of better health ... wishing you nothing but the best always!

I love the goofy post - you made me laugh and the suitcase - PRICELESS - love it !!!
