Time to make some changes

Well here I am, about a  year and a half after lap-band surgery and frustrated again with my weight. I have lost 70 lbs but struggling with the last 30! Urgh!! I have to say I am so much happier with myself, life, and pretty much everything with the mini-person gone, but now I'm starting to get back to that I don't like the way I look cuz I have been with this last 30 lbs for about 8 months now. I probably should go in for a fill so that it restricts me more, but yet I have issues eating at times due to the drainage from allergies. I also should just change what I put into my mouth! Insert Medifast here...I started Medifast back in April, was doing great till end of May, started again in Aug, slacked off again, so here I sit at the beginning of October. I'm making a commitment to myself, and now anyone who reads this, that I am sticking to the plan till I loose the 30 lbs left. Now the only issue is the holidays are approaching. My initial goal is 15-20 lbs by Thanksgiving. Reality is I have to make the changes, and struggle through not being tempted at the family meals, which really is just Thanksgiving dinner and a few times over Christmas. My biggest weakness right now is those dang pumpkin spice lattes....so I ordered from capella.com the pumpkin spice flavoring, we shall see soon how it tastes! The peppermint mocha will be hard come December, but I CAN DO THIS!!! I can't wait to look fantastic and get rid of this stinking gut that's left.

  2. Thanks Lori! and my secret for making it look cool is....using the help that they have...HA! I love reading your blog too, you're my inspiration! ;) I felt like "Hey, if I always tend to get something out of what she has to say, maybe it would have the impact on someone else too." Thanks Lori!
