I wish I had someone I could talk to when I am feeling down. I have mostly male friends, and they can never understand what it’s like to be a female and have hormonal depression. Robert tries to listen, but he’s a also guy and usually it’s “it’ll be ok” instead of trying to really…

20 Pounds feels like 80…
I’m a little frustrated right now, because I can’t push past the 190 mark. I keep getting to 191 and then bouncing back up to 195 or 199 then back down… Anyone have suggestions on getting the last 20 pound off? I think maybe part of it is lack of exercise, because of my knee…
What’s Up?
I recently started a new contract at Fed Ex Office as a Project Manager/System Analyst and am really enjoying the people that I work with, though there isn’t a lot yet to do. I guess that is the nature of Project Management, it comes in waves. I am super excited about the potential of this…
Finally – A Healthier Me
So, I just got back all of the lab work from my 1 year surgery follow up and the doctor was ecstatic! He actually said “If my blood looked this good, I’d be a happy guy!” I am no longer diabetic (of course that was gone within 3 months of surgery) and my blood pressure…
Resolutions for 2011
I only really have two, the first one is to get to my goal of 180 pounds, and the other is to grow fingernails. Two things that as an adult, I have never achieved. We’ll see how it goes… As of today, I am 192… 12 pounds to go! My fingernails, however, are another story……
It’s Under 200!
So, I am lingering around 199 right now, and am in a size 12/14 pants and 14/16 top. I went shopping the other day for fall clothes and shopped in the REGULAR sizes. Several XL tops later… and even a pair of TEEN leggings… I feel amazing! This has been a great decision for me,…
People are starting to notice!
I saw a friend last night that I haven’t seen since surgery, she didn’t even know I had it done. She immediately started asking how I lost weight and told me I looked amazing. It feels good to have people notice… though it helps that I am wearing clothes that fit now, I was wearing…
6 Weeks Post Surgery…
and I feel really good! I am off of all of my meds except my 2x a day chewable Centrum, Claritin (allergies), and bi-weekly B12. I am eating pretty much anything I want, with the focus on Protein first (carbs last, so not a lot of bread/pasta), and so far I haven’t been sick or…
The Decision of a Lifetime…
Born in December of 1969, I have been overweight for most of my life, the last time I remember being the same size as my friends; I was about 7. I have done every diet, every exercise, and finally accepted that I was meant to be heavy. In high school I was a professional plus…
Who am I?
This is a question that we often ask ourselves at different points in our lives, and as we age we learn that who we are changes with the experiences we have. So, who am I? Today I am Debi, a 38 year old woman who has had a pretty awesome life. I currently work from…
