On My Weigh Out of the 20's ~~~~~

     Today, I sit here in the waiting room with other people "like me." We are all here for the same reason... our weight and the battle with it.  Waiting for this Dr. to come out aind tell us about how we are going to change anid how others are going to see us.  Really?..1 -2-3  GO!
     Ok, so that class was NOT what I  expected. It was about ways to maintain your weight AFTER the surgery, but how to get in the habit BEFORE!  Informational, but I wanted to get to the weigh in, but not before I waited two hours and have lunch.  So We (Victoria and I had lunch) at VT Sandwich Company (normally I would recommend highly, but today it was awful), none the less, we hit up Toys R Us, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, and Dunkin Donuts while I waited.  I was very eager to weigh.  I didnt feel like I lost anything, but I knew I needed to.
     2:15 came................. WEIGH IN. = 320 :)  YAHOO!  4.2 pounds down! Yep. GONE GONE GONE!  I was very relieved.  Nearly half way in weight loss and 2/3 of the way in visits.  Now comes the mandatory 4 hour nutrition class, the support group, the pre-certification AND the next weigh in.  Phew, lots to do before the next visit in October.
     I'm very excited and scared as this approaches and it looks like January or February will be the actual time, but in the mean time.. Lots of work to do!


Love to you all who are "Watching Me Shrink" <3

Official Weigh in!

So 324.2 is a great number right now! Yep, I weighed in on August 29th!    its 5.8 pounds LESS from a month ago! Yeah me!  It has so not been easy. There are a lot of new stressors in my life at the moment, so eating seems like a great way to de-stress. Well, I use to think. I know its not ok, so I've managed to get my ass to bed early and not eat late night snacks.

Halfway there and only 24 more pounds to go to hit my "ideal surgery weight".  Three more visits, a behavior class with a skinny psychologist. And when I say skinny I mean DOUBLE 00!  no kidding right. Skinny chick teaching "Fat" people how to feel about themselves now and what to expect then.  I dont get it, but ok.  And then I have a class on How to eat After.  I know how to eat. I didnt get this shape, and Yes, round is a shape, from NOT knowing how to eat. LOL... Then I have HOMEWORK and a test!  Seriously!  Hard, Hard, Hard.  I feel some days I'm hanging on by a thread doing this alone.

I know this isnt true. Tori and Matt have been great support and Atta Girls thus far!  I just expect more out of me!
Any way!  Four more weeks and 7 pounds less is the goal.
