It's been a while

I'm not writing as often as I thought I would, however maybe that's because I'm pretty busy these days. I find myself going and doing more when I have time off. I am down now to 327 pounds since surgery. I will have my friend post my before picture. My camera battery died so I will have to find a new one. It isn't in any of the stores I hit so far. As soon as I find one I will start getting updated pictures. I will also try to get a graph to follow my weight loss with.

Well I did well at the movie New Moon. I brought my 2 oz lunch and ate it. Although the popcorn smelled really good I just enjoyed the aroma. I have found that enjoying aromas is a great thing and you don't have to eat everything that smells good, think of the smell as the actual eating part and its actually enjoyable and not torture. My friend was sitting next to me with a big bucket of buttered popcorn (my most favorite thing) It was funny because she got up to find friends that were running late and there I was me and a bucket of mouthwatering popcorn. Well, lucky for me my mouth didn't water and all I could think of was how funny it was like leaving a chicken pen open with a fox outside. Except this fox turned out to be prepared and brought his own chicken and wasn't hungry.

Right now things are going pretty good. It has been three weeks. I still get tired sometimes and working ten hour shifts is hard. I'll try to work 8 hour shifts next time and forget about having three days off at a time for a while, it isn't worth it. I'm starting to fit some of my older clothes and the clothes that fit tight are fitting well. Some even are getting loose. ( I never can remember which spelling it is for loose, is it loose or lose? Anyway.

I am trying to get ready for Christmas I have 7 aprons to make and about the same in pajamas and I haven't even started. I am so busy with work and trying to stay on top of appts and bills.

I have to work a little on depression, I sometimes get overwhelmed with the types of food I need to prepare and need to learn how to go about it. The support group for the clinic only meets in the evenings, and I work evenings. I need to find their website because the group is supposed to have their meetings recorded and have some type of chat room.

I've got a lot to do today so I'd better get going at it.
