WOOOOHOOOO Wednesday WLS Express!
Hey You Guys!
My wohoo.... that my tool still works and I have control over losing or gaining. WLS has allowed me to do things I never thought possible!
I am going back to work today to mail a few things out and to find a missing ARD. I know it was turned in but my secretary can't find it...ugh. I have a dr's appt at 2:30. Other than that nothing too exciting on my list- which is awesome for my first week off.
Love you guys!

Morning Karen and my TMB Family,
Stress is back in my life full force. UGH Hate that but my WOO HOO for today is even with added stress I did NOT turn to food to comfort me. I know I can do HARD THINGS !!!! Trust me...not turning to food was hard yesterday. My weight loss is still there ( thank God ) and I am praying it will go down further tomorrow since today the scale didn't move today. I am so glad my WLS tool still works at 4 1/2 yrs. post op. Please pray for me if you think about it. I have lots and lots of stress in my life at the moment and I am not happy at all. I love you guys and have a great day.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Vivian,
take some time today just for yourself and do something that relaxes you. Stress is bad for anybody and we all need to find good outlets. It is great you did not turn to food. I know how the stress can build up even with medication to help deal with stress an individual still need to try do something that relaxes them. Even if it is just a merely 5 minutes of listening to some music or a short walk. Hope you have a great day and take care.

Thanks so very much for your kind words of advice. I am sporting some weight gain now due to stress caused by this middle son of mine. I have worked very hard for over a week now and I am down 6 lbs and I will not regain it. I won't turn back to that "evil friend...food" !!! I did get out of the house and go buy some fruit and veggies and other things that we needed. Thanks so much for caring.

I think sometimes we forget what all was involved with us gaining weight in or lives. Some people do not understand that something common like stress can play a major role a individuals overall health not only in weight but also on the heart. We all have our good days and bad days. We also all know that for our long term success we need the support of others who have been in our shoes. I have had a lot of stress to deal with myself and as a stress relief for me and my wife I took our children to the park to feed ducks yesterday. It got me some needed excercise plus time with my children. It gave my wife a break from the children. We have to take care of ourselves both physically and mentally to be healthy.
I agree. WIsh my sons were still young enough to take to the park. Enjoy them now !!! Mine are 29, 24, and 19,

Wooohooo!! I got to hear Natalie again today! That's always a great way to start the day. She sounded active and happy so life is good. I've set up the induction for Sept 21st, so we can start planning when Mom and Dad are coming down here, etc now. Aug is going to be an exceptionally busy month as I'll start going in for weekly ultrasounds and we've also got a bunch of classes set up at Baylor Frisco. I'm excited though, all of the busyness will definitely be worth it in the end.
I had to fight some old time stinkin thinking this morning at the doc though. I'm up 11 lbs since last month! That's about 16lbs total, which I know intellectually isn't bad, and the doc isn't concerned as I've also started retaining fluid and swelling in my ankle. But... After fighting for so long to lose the weight it was hard not to let the scale win the mental battle this morning. I know all the right things to think about it... I'm growing a baby, I'm retaining fluid, my clothing sizes haven't gone up, but geeze I wish that scale would just play nicely! Ok, no more dwelling on it. I am back to tracking in FitDay because I was starting to feel completely out of control with food again, and I'm going to watch the sodium but I'm not going to obsess about it.
Not a lot else going on here. Seems everything is baby baby baby, so I've got to remember to focus some time, energy and thoughts on other stuff so I don't get boring. If it's not raining tonight I might see about taking a walk up to the park when Jeff gets home. Or maybe go over to the library after work. Hmmm, decisions decisions.
I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Debbi...you are going to be a awesome Mom. Don't stress over the weight gain right now. I know you....you will work your hiney off once Miss Natalie makes her appearance. Remember though don't let anyone tell you that you need to eat for two. You eat for yourself and Miss Natalie will take what she needs from you. You will lose the weight when she is here and probably more than pre pregnancy weight. Fluid weights alot and swelling....well we won't even go there. Take a bubble bath and relax. You will be fine and so will that precious bundle of joy inside you. Love ya !! Have a blessed day !!!
