Sadly, after 6 long months in the hospital my mother lost her fight with her disease and passed away January 1oth. I will miss her the rest of my life.
For Happy News, I have learned that you are not guaranteed a tomorrow so do today what you want to do, so I am recommited to my weight loss. I have not been being a good banded person, I've only had one fill, and ate terribly at the hospital....lots and lots of cookies. I was back at my highest weight. Let's just say I'm too embarrased to even go see my surgeon for a fill. So I've joined Weight Watchers to try and get my weight down about 30 - 40 pounds and then go see my surgeon. I had tried Weight Watchers online with no success, but now I'm actually going to meetings and I really like it. This was my second week and I've lost 8.8 pounds (It was 12 at my house, but I ate breakfast before weigh in, I won't do that again...I want to get a 10 pound sticker!!!) I did however earn a 5 pound sticker, and got a Bravo sticker for not having a regular soda in a week (from a 4 pepsi a night habit!). I really like getting stickers, I'm so the second grader I know.
I'm doing WW with 2 of my cousins, and my sister is going to eat better, and cook some WW meals. (However I think maybe if I keep up my good weight loss, maybe she jump on the meetings bandwagon, seeing as she's getting married in 9 months) If I was doing it with just my sister I'd maybe try and talk her out of it, and miss meetings, or quit, but I won't even try that with my cousins.
I think after I lose the weight and get some fills, I'll switch to the Core Plan, where you don't count points, but eat from a list of foods and just eat until you're full. So everyone please wish me good luck on this venture.
And mama, keep an eye on me and give me a cosmic kick in the arse if I fall off the wagon! I love you and miss you!
