Wow its been years since Ive been on here forgot I had a profile here but recently had a health scare and realized I needed to get back on track and that I can’t do it alone so here I am……again and hopefully I will succeed this time

My Dr sent me to a surgeon this past week to see if I would be a candidate for surgery (gastric or the lap band) to tell you the truth it was an appointment I really did not want to go to but I went anyway.

I have never been so happy to be told I am NOT a candidate for weight loss surgery and the reason why made me even more happy.  The surgeon said “#1 you don’t eat enough as it is so the surgery will be counter productive and #2 you haven’t been big your whole life and that tells me that you CAN lose weight without surgery”

That was a great motivator for me I mean he could have easily approved me for surgery and went through with it and got paid but he didn’t (my friends surgeon did that) I have been on a yo yo as far as weight loss goes but I am finding that once I stop obsessing about losing weight the weight starts to come off so I am focusing on exercising every day and not depreiving myself anything so I don’t go nuts on a craving lol.

Feeling positive today,a little frustrated over my calorie intake, I never seem to be able to take in more then 800 cals a day and that isn’t enough I’m just not hungry and I know if I don’t take in calories my metabolim won’t work right.  I exercise every day and very much enjoy it, trying new things such as dance as exercise and beginners belly dancing it is slimming and a lot of fun!

Been a very long while since I logged in so many changes in my life so many tradgeties and it set me back.  I am trying to get back on track and avoid any kind of surgery to lose weight hopefully being back here will give me the support I need to lose the weight I set out to lose a few years ago

Here we are 2008 a whole new year ….last year I resolved to lose at least 50lbs abd lost more then that so I resolve to lose at least 50lbs again

I need to quit smoking but the patches and gum do not work and it isn’t safe for me to quit cold turkey I mean my moods are bad enough already with my PMDD quitting smoking cold turkey will make me worst!!! I have resolved to work with my Dr on that since I know quitting can make me eat more …

I am so positive about 2008 and I just feel like something good is going to happen to me this year ….so a new years toast to health and happiness for EVERYONE!!!

Been awhile since I logged in, som much has happened so many changes in my life some good and some bad I managed to meet my mini goal to get down to 300lbs but the holidays are here and you know thats a hard time of year to be on a diet, I am letting myself have small amounts so I don’t go nuts and eat everything in sight, making cookies with my little one was a nightmare but I managed to get all the dough onto the cookie sheet and into the oven  lol

This weekend was great and my son’s party was a sucess everyone had a great time.  I was worried about overeating but kept so busy running after kids,cooking the food on the grill I managed to eat one turkey burger and a few chips and that was it so I am very proud of myself

Good morning everyone gonna be a beautiful day here in New York ,….finally feeling like spring around here

Have a lot of work to do the next couple of days, my youngest turns 5 on Friday and we’re having a birthday party on Sunday, I dread the temptation of cake and candy  He’s having a Diego theme party (for those who don’t know Diego is Dora Explorers cousin)  got a lot of kids coming and still have treats to buy for their take home bags,cake to order I just hope I make it through the week  lol  I had the forsight to invite adults as well so I won’t be corralling kids by myself.

The stressful part of it all is out of the kindness of my heart I invited my son’s father so he can meet him I am just praying no drama starts since none of my friends like him and with good reason so cross your fingers for me that the party is sucessful for my little boys sake.   HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!!

I need to clarify something I wrote in my blog last night …first I mistyped it was suppose to say 600 calories a day and I forgot to mention that the supplement has an additonal 1000-1200 calories depending which one your Dr puts you on.   NO my Dr is not crazy and she has had people on this diet before who lost their desired weight SAFELY though more quickly them most people been going to this Dr for years she knows me and what I can handle just thought I would clear that up

Lost  15lbs ….feeling more optimistic then I have in a long while ….My Dr started me on a semi fasting diet called New direction nutrimed plus  Nutritional supplement”.

It is by prescription and I have to be constantly monitored by my Dr since weight loss expected is between 3-5lbs a week and it dropped my calorie intake of solid food too 400 calories a day ….she gave me a choice between this diet or lapband surgery and I for one am tired of having surgery got a whole map of scars on my stomach already …the first week on this diet is pretty bad but after awhile your body adjust to it and you start feeling better very much looking foward to not constantly being in pain and feeling so badly about myself
