Wow it's been a while since I posted!

I just had surgery (again) Friday and had gained 10 pounds.  I think I've lost a little of that now.  I decided to change my goal and instead of aiming for 138 I'm going to aim for 108.  That way...even if I don't make it THAT far, I'll probably make it further than 138.

Why is weight loss so hard? I  mean geez.  To GAIN weight all you have to do is eat more and sit down.  Losing weight should be equally as easy!  Right?? *slaps forehead*

GL to all of us out here trying to lose weight.  I know we need it, and please feel free to say hi!  I have no friends on here! LOL!

Good health,

Elisa

SIZE 8!!!

I don't know what the weight loss is, but it's tapering down.  It's taken forever to get here since Feb, but here I am.  Had surgery Monday, and am recovering well.  Downside is no aspirin because they took biopsies and aspirin makes ya bleed.  sigh.  I take Excedrin Migraine for my head on a daily basis so this sucks.  Tylenol just doesn't work.

But I'm an 8!  WOW!  :D  I almost look human again. **banana dance**

SIZE 10!!

It's just falling off now.  I had to buy a new pair of pants as all my other ones literally fall off me when I stand up.  My new jeans are 2 sizes smaller than the ones I've been wearing.  They are a size 10 and fit great.  I can't believe it.  Another pair of 10s I tried on were too big.  :)  I had jr size M (7/9) on and they fit, but I'm still too flabby for those.  Seven kids really play a number on your ab muscles.  Hopefully in another couple of weeks I can get rid of the rest of my flab and can wear clothes and look like a real person.

I can't believe I've passed the halfway mark and am now on the verge of entering a new set of digits.  Hello 150's!!!!  WOO!

Lose some pounds

My cute little son and I were watching tv in bed when a commercial came on for hydroxycut.  He said, "There mom.  You should get that.  You could lose pounds."  I said "You just called me fat."  He said "You're not fat, mom.  It just says if you take that you can lose pounds."  I said "Well you can take it and lose pounds then."  He said "But I don't have many pounds like you!"

KIDS!!  lol

Wow. One month later

and I've kept off the weight I lost while I was sick.  I lost some weight during last month's bout with pneumonia and after I recovered from that I got the stomach flu.  LOL.  I lost 10 pounds.  I lost a couple more since then. 

Gee.  All I need to do is get sick every month....

Oh.  I lost another 145 pounds as well.  Hubby moved out.  THAT weight loss feels pretty good too mostly.

Illness Update

I'm not around here much as it is, but I'm in the middle of a bout with pneumonia.  I am so wiped out.  It's been 10 days of this and a week before that of just a regular cold and/or fibromyalgia.  I'm still hoping to be well for Christmas next week.  I've finished abx and am taking cough meds with codeine as well as using an inhaler.  (Only I'm so out of breath I can't use that right now.)  The bright side is that my fibromyalgia stuff has gone away since I've been dealing with this and I've lost a few pounds.  lol

Going to lie down again and cough on my teddy bear....

You know....

I can't remember why I named this "getting under my skin".  I think it was because "beauty is only skin deep"....but lately I'm feeling like I'm trapped under folds of flabby skin and I need to get out.  rofl

With that said, I'm doing a little better with my attitude.  I have recommitted myself to ME, and will begin today with eating healthy again, exercising again and DOING things instead of sitting around feeling sorry for myself....and that's been happening a lot.

There are still things in my life that just arent' going so well that I can't fix but I'm going to focus on ME for a while and give everything else time to either sort itself out or become reprioritized in my mind.

I'm down a pound today from my last weigh in so it's a good start.  :)

GO ME!

Oh great...

DH made me eat Friday and I've eaten since then (little bits here and there) and I gained back 4 pounds.

Food is highly overrated!!!!

BLEH

I'm starting out my blog really depressed.  I know I'm not the biggest person in the world and there are other people in worse situations than I am.  I can't stop feeling so disappointed in myself and just BLEH.

Right now I'm trapped in thinking that no matter what I do I'm not going to lose weight and I have to resign myself to being flabby until I die.  How depressing!

I need a kick in the pants.
