ONEderland

Last weekend I reached 199 lbs!!! I am so excited to be out of the 200's. I am down 25 lbs and I am a third of the way to my goal. It feels really good to be getting some of this weight off. My knees are not hurting near as much as they were and I don't feel as tired as I used to. On some of the weight loss blogs they call it ONEderland when you reach the 100's - its kinda cute I guess. I am now in a size 16 pants and a size xl/1x blouse.

Today my lunch consisted of a bowl of chicken enchilada soup, tortilla chips & salsa, and two bites of salad.   I am eating more than I should right now. I called to get an appointment for another fill and there are no openings until December 1, and it makes me a little upset because I went through all of this and got the tool I need to get the weight off but can't use it because the lap band office does not have any openings. They are going to call me if they have any cancellations. Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I really need the restriction so I can avoid overeating all of that yummy goodness.

James has been out of state for the last three weeks and we really do miss him! He should be home tomorrow night - the stress sometimes gets to me and with the lap band stress creates a weird feeling that is hard to describe. It feels like anxiety and tightness in the chest and these little bubbles travel up through my throat. Weird I know. I don't want to tell everyone all the reasons why I have been experiencing stress but it involves a life style change! I can share with yall next week exactly what is going on - some of you may know already and that's okay - letting God take control of our situation is hard to do but I am definitely trying and praying for things to get worked out. I need to learn to relax.
