Attempting to blog…everyday.

Starting today I am going to blog everyday. 

Quit laughing…No seriously. 

I really enjoying blogging.  It helps me stay focused and keep me in check.  Plus I keep pimping this blog out at the support group meetings and then I never update so alas, here we go. 

Goals for October:

1.  Blog everyday (minus yesterday…I don’t count it because it was a Friday :) )

2.  Lose 10lbs by the end of the month

3.  Track my food via The Daily Plate (via Livestrong)

4.  Move my sweet arse a bit more than as of late (which really means, I haven’t done anything since May)

So we covered numero uno, no onto….

2.  I have instituted a weight loss challenge to the cult.  Who ever loses the most weight percentage wise by the end of the year wins a lemon drop martini.  I am going to try to do 10 lbs every month.  I am at a standstill weight wise (due to number 4 probably being non-existent), so time to get cracking. 

3.  For some reason, this has been just as difficult as blogging!  WTF!?  So this attempt may almost be as hard as….

4.  I have two gym memberships.  Seriously. 

So people…its time to get with it.  I don’t consider myself a failure with this whole WLS thing, because I have lost a crap load of weight, and fit into clothes that I haven’t seen in over 10 years.  Actually – longer.  Wow.  But I know the “bad” habits are creeping back in.  Bites of junk food here and there, sweets, chocolates, etc.  I need to cut this crappola out.  Oh and my good friend, Mr. Carbohydrate, well he is an ever present force that needs a swift kick in his butthole out of my life. 

So join me, in the re-education of Losing Libby.

    You make me smile, and it's not just because you're funny looking. I'm happy for us that we're (once again) using the tools we know we have (including our heads). Many hugs and much love. C

The ugly truth

The truth is...I'm in recovery. The other truth is emotionally, I'm a disaster. I haven't written in here because the truth is, losing libby was originally about weight loss surgery and how much weight I've weight I lost. In the past few months, more emotionally damning crap has happened to me, my family, my parent(s), my brother, and many people in my ever shrinking circle. I am an addict. I am well educated. I live in the suburbs. I have a child. I have serious mental health issues. I tell you all of the ugly in an attempt to hold myself accountable for the things I have done, the things I have put my family through, and most important...what I have done to myself. If you would have told me five years ago or so that I would be unemployed, filing for disability, and doing medication assisted treatment for addiction...I would have laughed in your face and said you were crazy. The truth is, like many other Americans, I'm not the only one. How d

The ever disappearing blogger...

The disappearing blogger is about to go where some WLS patients have gone before. MOTHERHOOD. Holy shit people, I'm having a baby! The nugget will be making his or her debut on July 23. I will post some pictures once I edit them. I have been feeling a little on the nutty side lately. The past few months have been a battle of hormones and overall unpleasantness. I'm really not sure why, other than, one of the things that happens when you are almost 2 years out, is your tool sometimes escapes you. Meaning one day, it is super easy to eat...a lot. I find myself using pregnancy and the hormones as an excuse to eat eat eat. I have gained 4 lbs so far, and I find this pretty much unacceptable! When I went to my OB doc, she expressed a very good understanding of the gastric bypass patient, stating that it takes 300 extra calories a day to make a baby. Therefore, I shouldn't worry too much about weight gain, especially since I am still, overweight. I took that apparentl
