Today its snowing..I had to go to work three hours early because i didn't have a ride (dad took my jeep so he could get to work) I rode to work with my sister because we work at the same place. I am sitting here listening to my MP3 Player and going over posts on Lapbandtalk and obesityhelp. I am truly thankful that i had this oppurtunity to have this surgery. I honestly think that if i wasn't able to have this surgery i probably would of ate myself to death. I wish that i would loose weight faster then i am (averaging about 3-5lbs a month or sometimes 2 lbs a month) it sucks but i have just increased my exercise..We shall see..I don't get weighed again til 02/09. Last night i did 1.1 miles on the treadmill and i burned 125cal, Not bad for me. I was thinking about the plastic surgery part of this surgery..I am going to need it. The way my skin hangs and my arms flap. UGH..I probably and going need everything because my boobs have shrunk too. But i deserve it..I spent my whole life being fat and it will make me feel happy to FINALLY be skinny and healthy.I have 127 lbs to go til GOAL..I am hoping that the exercise will help me tone some stuff but i highly doubt its going to tone everything..I am thankful for everyone's stories, It helps to keep me inspired. I hope one day i can someone say the same for me. But for now..One day @ a time.. ;)Kristen334.5/277.5/???
