................. well i went to see my doctor yesterday and i was nervous and scared~ i really didnt want to get on the scale i was like ughhh the CHRISTMAS holiday break was over and i was home for almost two weeks... and alot has been going on~ ive been doing good but i was still NERVOUS...
so i get on the scale and it was 341 i was like WOW...... i lost 7lbs..... i was EXCITED and soooo proud of myself... i can actually say i think im gonna do it.... im sooo proud....
* Well im sooo excited about this journey that i will begin... im sure that i'll have my ups and downs durning this process.. but i hope that i dont come up to some road blocks....
** well im soo glad and greatful that my FRIEND is having her band done on 8.13.10... which will be FABULOUS for her and for me... LOL so i can see the process and if i have any questions she can help me and guide me.. i cant say it enough that im soo blessed to have such a wonderful friend like her we clicked and bonded really fast i've known her for a short period of time i'd say 4 1/2 months... well as of right now i weigh 375.. ouch thats the MOST that i have ever weighed and i cant believe how much i've let myself GO... im sooo dissapointed in myself i guess i was being selfish...
*** I have two wonderful children and a fabulous husband and within the last four years ive gained alot of weight some people say its because u got married some say well u have two lito ones... i cant use that as an excuse anymore... i need to think about my health & my family .. i do want to be around to see them mature to adults and i want to see them get married and be around to see their family when they start a family...
**** This process started about 2mos ago then we get an email at wk stating that our ins. plans are changing and our copayments and deductables are going up... BUMMER i said so i decided to wait til our new ins kicks in which will be on SEPT 1, 2010 on (my Birthday) so my 2nd appt with the Dr. will be in sept... so in my first appt i was told that i need to see a nutritionist for 6mos and be on a special diet... so im excited about it... so lets see where this ROAD will take me...
My IDEAL weight that i want to be at is 175... im 5'8 a little shy from being 5'9 so im guessing me weighing 175 will be great... i know it will be at least 2012 that i will be at that weight... i hope :cool:....................
Much Luv~ ShellyDaisy 86 :laugh:
