Fat Girl Brain

Left - March 9th, Right - November 12th

For the first time in a while I went out and was around people I haven’t seen since before surgery and one of my friends actually said, “WOAH! Dude you shrunk!” It was kind of a funny, as I have said many times before us recovering fat girls have something messed up in our brains that does not allow us to honestly view what the world views when they see us. So I took a pic of myself 2-days pre-op and put it up next to a pic of myself from 2 days ago. I GET IT PEOPLE! I SEE IT! (That doesn’t mean that I won’t have a slip up again and go back to my fat brain, it just means I am recovering and like a true addict, I just need to work in a few reinforcements for myself to get it right.

If you are interested in my progress, I did another weigh-in this week, you can check it out here.

I have, also, started on a few pretty cool journeys with some friends who have similar goals, healthier, new selves.  We have decided that we are going to attempt out first mud run this year, so we are taking part in the Dirty Girl Mud Run, here in Southeaster WI this summer.  We may die, but we will die together!  In an effort to get on the path to new us’s…pretty sure that isn’t a word, but you know what I mean, we are tracking our food and progress on a pretty neat little site.  If you are looking for something to keep you on track, you should check it out, it is called – MyFitnessPal.com. It even has a pretty dope mobile app that allows you to scan the barcode of your food to add it to you food diary.

Later Days peeps!

 

 

28 days…

I have finally gotten past the one month mark until my surgery and I think the nerves have finally worn off.  I am now to the point of just being ready to get this over with!  This week I have my pre-op appointment to go over Gastric Bypass Surgery 101.  Hoping the mister will be able to get off of work to accompany me.  He has been very supportive and has even gone to a few of my doctor’s appointments with me, but he’s a quiet man who doesn’t say much.  So I want him to go, so that he truly has an understanding of what all I will be dealing with when this is all going on.  To be continued…
