Back and better than ever

Hi Friends!  Long time no blog.  What a wild few months its been since I’ve last written. 

First, a word of wisdom.  Do not under any circumstances have bariatric surgery and then immediately go back to graduate school about 8 weeks after.  It will nearly kill you!

Lucky for me, and all of you fine people reading this, I survived.  It was the dumbest thing I ever did, but more on that some other day.

Second, I’m getting married.  HOLY SHHHHHHHHH…. you say?  Yah me too!  Got engaged at the end of October…and that has been a wild ride as well.

Third:  Started being able to eat…whatever I could put in my mouth.  Its  been scary at times, yet I feel so much more in control of food.  Its a catch-22 at this point.

Fourth:  Exercise.  Wow…its almost…dare I say fun at this point!  I just joined the gym, and it is going good so far.  I also invested in the Nike+ running system, and I really enjoy it. 

So as you can tell, I'll have a lot of updating to do.  Happy New Year to you all!

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...

Highs, Lows, and coming to blows

I have not blogged since June, before my munchkin was born. I have been struggling. I have been happy, sad, and everything in between. I constantly feel in limbo, not only about motherhood, but just life in general. I am going to be the first to admit that I definitely let my health and weight loss goals go to complete shit after I had this guy: He is perfect. His mother, though, is not. A few of my friends have starting blogging. Some about weight loss, mommy-hood, couponing, you name it. They all inspired me to start writing in this again. I was going to start a new blog, but then I thought ya know what, I'm still me. Deep down in this dark hole I have created, the old me is there. The person I once was. I hope you'll bear with me on this journey to find happiness and health again. I know it's there. March 1, 2012 Weight: too fricken scary to even get on scale, maybe tomorrow. Mood: Mediocre to Blah Day: Typical - nothing bad or good to report
