About Me

My photo
Birmingham, AL, United States
On June 2, 2012 I had Gastric Sleeve surgery in Juarez, Mexico. This blog follows my journey, thoughts and challenges regarding a lifetime of being "just a pretty face" and the road to a healthier me!

May 18, 2012

Now that I KNOW that my life will change forever after June 2nd, I am constantly thinking of the ways my life MUST change and therefore will change for the better.  I just think life will be weird because being overweight is all I have ever known (even when I wasn't overweight). Even though I have gone through phases (lifetime of phases), the weight never came off no matter how hard tried.  I'd get frustrated and go back to my drug of choice (bad food and no exercise).  I think each day will be a lesson, a trial, an expereince but anyone that knows me knows that I am at tough cookie (ha....literally) and will take this on with 100% dedication.




I think I will miss:
-Ice cold coke
-Food off the grill
-Pizza with everything on it whenever I want it
-ordering take out
-the occasional vodka drink (and I never drink so this thought is funny but true)
-my clothes (the one thing that made me feel fabulous sometimes)
-shopping all the time because it made me feel better
-gummy bears
-tailgating grazing (Roll Tide)
-overeating because it is my drug of choice
-eating and drinking at the same time (it is a sleever rule to allow your food to stay in the tummy longer and to keep from puking it back up)

See the pattern here! That is why I am in the situation I am in now. I'm sure I will add more to this list as time goes by.
