Happy New Year.... Congratulation you have all made it into my 2011 yr. My sister called me this morning and said, "Fawn, try to do better this yr than last." I have to and I will. For the first two days of the year I am on a liquid diet... Trying to cleanse my body from the old year. Getting focus on the new. want to start from feeling free, and lite.. lol.

Hi band family, Christmas is now over... For those that don't have a membership to a gym... You really should think about getting one. I got on for Christmas and I am happy. I said, I would never go into a gym and I really like it. I'm full figured and thats OK. Girls, I'm turning there heads...... LOL. Now that the New Years is very close. What are some of your plans? And lets think outside that box. I know that we want to loose weight.... For me, I want to start putting myself first. and be more healthier. What about you?

I would like to say thank you, to you all, I am encourage now..... some of the things you wrote really touched my heart... Thank You. Someone out there maybe going through a harder time then I am and I've come to realize that. And yes Joseph and Mary gave birth to Jesus in a stable and they didn't have anything. That by itself shows just how far we've come. Thank You "ALL"

We all need encouraging, and I am one myself. The hair lose comes from not enough protein. I had my surgery on August 16 2008 and I fell like a failure also. The only thing that we can do is get back on track and win this race. I see people that got the surgery the same time I did and felt like, that could of been me.... But guess what its, not... I stopped putting time limits on when to loose and just try to do my best. Because if you put a time limit on it, your going to set yourself up for failure. Just do the best you can and remember, that they are not walking around in your shoes.

I got the Lap band on August 19th 2009. The reason why I got it is because, On October 16th 2008 I was let go from my job, where I've been at for 9+yrs. I felt like I needed a life changing, change. I've been big all my life and I need and wanted something new. So, I decided to get the lap band. The first 4 months went good.... But as time went on my confidence got lower and lower. I couldn't find a job and I stopped caring.... As time went on not caring turned into something more, I was depressed for a long time. Couldn't sleep and feed started to be my friend again. I thought I was back on track in July. After a year and a half I found a job.... But that turned into bad news. My boss was a nasty person and she made it hard for me to do my job as well as she wanted me to. So after 90 days she let me go. It hurt but I wasn't going to let her win. Now that Christmas has rolled its ugly head around, I'm faced with the fact that without a job, my kids won't have what they really want. So I left them no that this year is, hard on me and in time Christmas will be substituted for another day. See every day its hard to get back on track when my life just sucks right now. Its been a year and almost four months since my surgery. I went to the Dr. 2 months ago, and when I got on the scale I was disappointed. I failed..... And it made me not care when the Dr. just rolled his eyes at me. When I'm feeling disappointed and to see him roll his eyes at me. It made me feel like whats the use of trying. He doesn't no what I've been through in the past year and a half. I'm trying to keep my head up...... Because I no the sun will shine bright on me. My one goal is to lose 100 pounds and I will do it....
