Yesterday was 8 months post op. I’ve lost over 100 pounds (think its about 108 pounds lost).
But I’m slacking. I have not been doing everything I should over the last few weeks. And yes, part of it is because I don’t have a lot of time. Working 80 hours a week really limits time available to work out.
But I can’t use that as an excuse!! That was part of the reason I was so unhealthy and huge.
I’m watching this show on E! where they’re talking about celebrity slim downs. I just learned I used to weigh more thatn Monique’ the actress. She topped at 262 and is 5′6″. I was a good 60 pounds heavier than her! And at the same height!
I was more than that…much more. I’ve always thought MoNique was fat, but never thought I was as big as her. How delusional!! I truly was huge; why did it not hit me? Why didn’t anyone say anything?

so I love the British for many, many reasons. And one of the many reasons is the gay British men that are in the world of entertainment. they crack me up and make me wish I had the wit of a gay British man!
Some men who qualify: Alan Carr, Rupert Everett, Will Young, Alan Cumming, David Walliams, Matt Lucas. Great talents that have had some great moments on British TV talk and quiz shows. (Mock the Week, 8 out of 10 Cats, Sunday Night News, etc.)
You can check them out on youtube!

Although I had weight loss surgery eight months ago and cannot eat as much as I once did, I am still emotionally attached to food. It was never more clear to me than it was last night at 1 am.
So it is not just a wave of the magic wand and my relationship with food is magically changed forever. NO! It is completely emotional and mental attachment that I need to work on. It truly is a life style change and it is not easy.
So to all you haters who think weight loss surgery is a cop out or easy way out…you are sorely mistaken.

I have come to the realization that I can no longer feel guilt about having the surgery. I cannot feel guilty about losing weight and getting healthy. It has been hard work and I’m still working hard towards my goals.
There are some people who are no longer talking to me. And I can’t help but wonder if its because of the weight loss. Is it because I no longer fit into the role of the “fat, funny friend”? I’ve been/played the role of the fat friend for so long…some people can’t seem to accept that I no longer am that person. I’m still struggling with it! But its not fair to write a person off so sharply.
I understand that those who are jealous/angry/whatever about my weight loss have their own issues. And I feel for them. But I can’t be dragged down by it.

I’m watching the documentary with Stephen Fry called “The Secret Life of a Manic Depressive.” I feel compelled to watch this because it hits so close to home.
I have had depression for over 10 years and I still struggle with it. There are still days where it is an uphill climb to get out of bed. Just walking from my bedroom to the bathroom is a chore.
This documentary is a must see.

Tomorrow will bring little flurries! Its the beginning of October and already snow!
This is how it was “back in the day.” When I was younger, it used to be cold this early and snow flurries in October. I remember wearing snow pants while trick-or-treating. Those were the good old days.

2 fouls on defense? Come on Pack! You can’t afford to make stupid mistakes like this!
Now the Vikings areat 1st and goal and they just waltzed in for the TD.
Very Disappointing, GB
Favre just slapped a guy on the ass. Now that was disturbing…

I am all for making football open and appealing to the masses. But I am slightly uncomfortable by the predominance of pink in the game. Its not that its pink. Its that its hot pink. Not a “deal with it” pink. And its not the pink that is generally used by Komen Breast Cancer.
It just seems really weird.
And why does the purple on the jersey and the purple on the helmet not match????!!!! I’m referring to the Vikings. They are 2 distinct shades of purple. Why? Do they need assistance from the paint pros at Home Depot or something?They can match any color! But for some reasons the Vikings, with their millions of dollars, arenot able to match their colors.
