More Random Thoughts

Mar 07, 2009

When I started this Journey I weighed 358 +/- pounds which is 58 pounds more than I weighed the other journey I tried to make 4 years ago. I always said that if I got up to and above the 300lbs I started with the first time I would do something about it. Well obviously I did. I am down to around  my original starting weight of 300#, but there are a few differences I have noticed between the first 300 and this 300. Being heavier (358)puts being 300 in perspective.
I was 285 and then 300 while my kids were growing up. Which made it difficult to play with them. I lost the weight 4 or so years ago. All by my little lonesome me, dropped down to 230 and had a blast playing with them. Started putting the weight back on slowly until  2 years ago and then really packed on the weight. It got so tuff just being me. Living at 358 sucked so bad. I couldn't imagine having 3 little kids and being 358.  this one reason I say Timing is everything. Kids grew up and so did I. ok I grew out not up.

So fast forward to present day.I had to have RNY to get the weight off, cuz I tried here and there, it just wasn't happening by myself this time, absolutely no self motivation here, Thank God for RNY, Barix Clinics and Dr. Pupkova. It has been the best descion of my life. I have broken the 300# mark. I feel so  much better now than when I was 300# 4years ago.
Shedding 58 pounds makes abig difference.  I didn't think so and would have argued otherwise had I not gone thru the process. It is definetly a hands on kinda thing.

I wonder when I get to goal if I will remember what is felt like 4 years ago.

GOAL OR BUST? 220 here I come!


What I forgot to mention in this post was, my new pant size downgrading to a size 44 from a 46. I know it is not a big step but it my world. I get more clothes out of my storage and on my body. I am still in 3x shirts but i tried on a 2 x windbreaker the other day and it fit , snug but I could zipper it and it was comfortable.

Thanks for reading my dribble.
