hey, it's 2012!

hello blogworld! so a little update: i DID get the lapband in april 2010. i started at 238 lbs. at the start of march 2012, i was 226. *blush*

i guess i thought lapband would magically do it for me. and when it didnt, life things happened, you give up sort of and stop paying attention and stop making real and consistent efforts. to my sisters in the struggle: please know that i am proof that the lapband is a tool, not a solution, and you will not lose weight if you dont make the efforts.

i forgot all about this blog! end of february of this year,  i had a revelation. my birthday was coming up, i would turn 36... when i was young, i could blame my obesity on my parents and immaturity and etc etc, but im grown now. I make the choices now. I get to decide what happens. so march 1st, i decided to take another stab at controlling my food. i started following theimpatientdieter on youtube and using the wonderslim products that i buy at dietdirect.com.

 it's been one month and a 5 lb loss later. good for me! going for another 5 next month. let's goooooo!
