Loving, losing, and living life.

This is another weight loss blog, something I am making to keep myself accountable during my weight loss journey. I have a desire to finally gain control of the daily decisions I make around food, and this is another avenue that will be used to help me make more conscious decisions. Join me in my journey. I had gastric bypass surgery on August 27th, 2012 and I am THANKFUL FOR MY TOOL.

bapgeek:

they say “i’m looking for a woman who:

  • takes care of herself*
  • is athletic (but not too muscular)
  • stays active
  • likes to work out
  • loves the outdoors

*if you “take care of yourself” by wearing makeup or getting manicures/pedicures then you are “high maintenance”

YUUUP….

Because you know there’s no way in teh world that a fat chick can be athletic, stay active, work out, and be outdoors a lot….

I had so many people tell me girl you lost weight! I’ve been lifting weights and my arms are getting smaller. I love that it was not only my family but people who haven’t seen me in a month or two. So uh. I rock because I’ve lost maybe 3 to 4 pounds but I feel so much healthier although I’ve not been the best in my food choices. I thank the heavens for this new experience and all of the progress I have made. Also I have to post my pictures from the Hawaiian theme party of me and my collarbones! Smooches!!!!!

Uh is that room to pull that belt buckle on an airplane seat that I am occupying?!!!!!!! Total NSV. Proof that when the scale isn’t your friend the measuring tape is!
