Helllllo world! I keep thinking "I can be a blogger...I can BE a blogger....
I CAN be a blogger..... yet here I sit.... as I have done several times before.
my mind is blank..... oops that does not sound so great.....
I do have thoughts running around ... but who cares?!?!? should I blog about the 13 grands...my love of crafting..... my anger/frustration of the political world.....the fun I have substitute teaching...... or my weight...what!
WEIGHT won....
I feel so great... Really really GREAT! I have lost 70 pounds!!! I want everyone who is overweight and having health issues...plz consider weight loss surgery!!! It seems now I look around and see so many people who could benefit
from this procedure ....... but hold on you MUST be mentally ready too!!! It is not a magic fix. YOU must comply to a ton of changes. I know of many that have had the surgery and in less than a year they are putting weight back on!!! I took me 2 years of research, contemplation, prayer, and taking a HARD look at ME ... what my of my personal bad habits, & addictions had put me in such a position in the 1st place. Was I willing to change.... did I REALLY want to change.... Could I really change..... I still have issues...... It is not always easy and I will have to always work hard to guard against falling back into bad eating habits. But........I feel so good now!!!!! I am off 7 (YES 7!) meds! that translates into a total of 11 pills and 2 inhalers I no long take/use!!! I can breathe!!! no more wheezing!, My cholesterol/triglycerides are within a more normal range!!!!!! They were as high as 685/3800(NO JOKE) and now are 189/175!!! I still am on some meds but previously I was taking 11 pills every morning and 15 at night!!! I can walk!! I can walk 2+ miles a day -- My exercise regime is one of my big issues. I have to work very hard to comply. I struggle to make it a routine. I do feel the difference when I miss... but my personal resolve is not always what it should be .... Wish I had an exercise partner or personal trainer to hold me accountable.... maybe one day. But no matter..... I will continue to strive for DAILEY exercise.....
well.....I only have about 25 pounds left to loose .... will post pictures when I finally reach the goal. I just want anyone considering a gastric bypass to know ... it's not easy but so very worth all you have to do ... keep in mind you must:
1) choose a good Dr. with good references & board certified
2)self commit -- this is critical!!
3)have a support group
