happy holidays

Belated merry christmas, happy kwanzaa, and all around happy holidays to everybody! so, i over ate on the 24th and 25th, and i didnt do any exercise either, but hey, the past is the past. i walked a good chunk to work today, i think i walked about an hour or so, and then got on the bus. i'm going to try v8 today since i seem to have trouble getting in my daily vegetables. and check out these fresh sneakers my poppa

bought me for x-mas! they're magic sneakers; all that walking i did today and i couldnt even feel the ground. im hype to walk at least two more times this week. a couple days ago i bought my plane ticket and i'm leaving for south korea on february 16th to start my new job, so that can be my self challenge: how much can i lose before i leave for Seoul. im in a super happy mood right now. i think i'm just happy to have internet, it's not been working at my house for like 4 days, i was going through withdrawls.

My Weight Loss Attempts:

*in 2001, i did optifast and optitrim via Kaiser. I lost 68 lbs, and gained bk 85. i think it's a good program, but you really have to focus on ALL of the program, not just the fasting. i ignored my mental and emotional health, and thus gained every pound back and then some.

*in 2oo3, i did nutrisystem, i think i lasted two days. the food was AWFUL. i heard they've re-vamped their program, tho, so i don't knock it. let me know if it works for you.

*ive made monthly donations to my local gyms over the years-24hour fitness, curves, the women's gym, the arc. i gave them my money, why wasnt i losing any weight? ;)

*in 2005, i did slim fast, trying to use it the same as optitrim. i lasted 10 days, lost 3 lbs, but i couldnt handle the "replace a meal with a liquid" thing anymore and gave up.

*in Nov 2006 i started at 251.8 pounds doing jenny craig b/c those kirstie alley commercials were just too inspiring. i lost about 10 lbs and liked most of their food. i continued with it until feb 2007 when i left for south korea.

*from 2009 to 2016 i disappeared from blog world and didnt make any real efforts about weight loss...

*in april of 2017, i returned to blogging and i started following the impatient dieter on youtube and using the wonderslim products from dietdirect.com to lose more weight.

the point to listing all my weight loss attempts?

DON'T STOP TRYING. I havent lost much weight, but i've lost some... and I won't lose more if i give up.

And fast forward to today, 4/5/2021. I had gastric sleeve surgery on 1/22/2018 and went from a "day of surgery" weight of 262 lbs to today weighing 139 lbs. I feel friggin fantastic; I feel like myself, only lighter and freer. Feeling very grateful for my doctor and the universe aligning so that I could get this surgery.
