Yup.....I'm with the band!

Welcome to my online journal of my journey from fat girl to phat girl :) I had the Lap Band surgery in 2007 and I'm closing in on my goal weight... this next year is critical in reaching this goal and moving past a lot of junk and poor habits.

I'm in love and it's not with a Man.... or a Woman! LOL! I'm in love with Beach Body and what it has helped me accomplish in the last three years. The Lap Band is not a gimmick and it isn't an unlockable Chasity Belt. It's HARD HARD work and what's made it possible for me to lose these 90+ lbs, however, slowly is Beach Body. Yoga Booty Ballet and Hip Hop Abs has given me back my girliness :)

I'll be as candid as I can without letting all my mystery :)

You'll follow me through intensive cardio training... back to basics lap bandisms, maybe an adjustment or two, the headache of what this loss does to the body (loose skin--- eww!), my support group for Lap Band and Bariatric patients both Pre and Post Op, and OH YES my 40th birthday! This won't be BORing!

It's been almost three full years since I started this journey. March 12th 2007 was a date that changed my life.
I can clearly remember Dr. Monaco administrating the "Happy Juice" into my IV LOL!
I had never been in a hospital or had surgery... not counting my own birth. I was wearing this skimpy gown with my ass all out.. these cool comfy socks and I had no panties on!
Normally I have no problem with this, but I was 289lbs and had low self esteem and was scared shitless because I was going under anesthesia for the first time... I just hoped and prayed, as I loss consiousness, that I would wake up.
This was a SUCCESS for me. I made a step in the right direction. A direction of LIFE versus the path to ill health and self destruction I was skipping on.
Feelings of Failure... OMG when I don't get out of bed for that cardio... when I know I'm not drinking enough water... when I fall prey to that Nutter Butter LOL!
The funny thing is the feelings of failure are few and far and the moment's of success outwiegh them like a flood.
