74 Pounds

I have officially lost 74 pounds! truly amazing! I saw my dietcian on Friday and my exact words when I stepped on the scale were "HOLY SHIT". This week has been a little hard, I have LOW blood sugar and have been trying to get the number up with the help of some orange juice (diluted) and higher protein I am slowly raising it. Needless to say my energy level has been very low but improving.


I was at my parents house on Thursday and looked at the photo of me, Stacey and Steve from his wedding in November 2005 and was horrified. I looked awful. My face was huge! I went home that night and put the same dress on that is so large that I had it on backward and was able to turn it around without taking it off. I look back at photos and realize now how unhealthy I truly was. I still have alot of weight to lose and have yet set a target goal weight. (see below for before and after photos)

Thanks to everyone who reads this blog. You inspire me to keep it going.

This was the view outside my window this morning. Lovely!!

Well I officially have no pants that fit. I know that this is a "good" problem to have but it is an officially problem. I am going to the mall today with my sister and the girls and will hopefully find some inexpensive jeans. I hate to spend a lot of money on clothes these days because I am not wearing them for to long. Again a good problem to have. Please don't think I am complaining although it may sound that way I am truly HAPPY to have this problem.

I went to the dietitian this week and have graduated to raw vegtables and salad. She was thrilled with my weight loss and gave me some new tips on what foods to avoid. My 2 problem foods are PASTA and BREAD. I can't digest them at all, they are like cement in my stomach. Since I can't digest them I don't want them nor miss them. Which is a good thing. Everyone who has had the surgery says it will get better but there is a part of me that doesn't want them to get better.

Take care, have a good week! Love to all!
