I'm pretty sure this is my first entry since 2013 started so lets catch up!

I'm at 215 lbs turned 26 y/o

still no kids, no bf/dh

still searching for a job as i continue getting an education...

Found out that I developed a food allergy to MILK because of the WLS

Had my wisdom teeth pulled out last week

(which was coincidentally the day of my last final!)

I'm getting more interested in dating but still find it difficult since:

1. I live in Los Angeles, ca

2. I don't drink therefore going to a bar is silly

3. I still get anxious/self conscious since everyone here is literally stick thin or aspiring actress/actor thin

4. I'm picky

My weight loss has plateaued since starting the spring 2013 semester at school

I don't know if its the stress or the 60 mile round trip commute (about 1 hour each way)

or a combination, but the scale isn't moving...

But ALAS,

summer is here,

I'm way healthier and happier than i was a year ago,

the garden is in bloom

and i am HAPPY.

Even my dog has lost weight. :wub:

I do miss cheese though.

we have a secret love affair,

but then she makes me super nauseous and i have to lay down...

this affair must end!!

Things that haven't changed...

Food still makes me sleepy,

I live off of coffee

my bp and bs still drop dramatically whenever i exercise

Things i need to reinstate:

Bedtime

Eating out of small child-like plates

reducing coffee amounts

Drinking out of small cups

Protein shakes...

My go-to meal:

Used to be number 9 at DEL TACO with a diet coke

Now its a cup of brown rice with salsa

with Iced tea or Iced Coffee

Enough for now
