It’s been a long time since I blogged. I just re-read my last blog from 2012 and I
can say a lot of it is still the same, but so much of me has changed. I’m picking up this blog venture again
because today is the day I being a new chapter in my Journey to a new Me! After 4 years and 130 lbs, my Bandzilla is
being removed. I am so nervous and
scared. What if I balloon up again? What
if insurance says I’m too thin to do a revision in January like we think will
happen? I can’t go back to being that
girl. So I’m going to use my blog to
stay accountable and focused. I want to
share my story in the event I can help others realize they are normal too J
Last I left off, I was going to talk about July 4th
of 2012 and coming the realization that I had learned to listen to the red
flags. I dumped the guy (first time I
did that in my life) that I had met at the Memorial Day dance and moved on to
dating a guy I had known for years from work.
Long distance relationship at that.
OMG, the energy and excitement of finally dating someone who I secretly
had a crush on and found out had one on me was just what I needed at that time
in this journey. I will be forever
grateful for the time spent together, learning about me, learning that I should
be spoiled once in a while. I loved his
family and was very sad when his mom passed away about a year after we broke
up. We still keep in touch and talk at
work (yes, we were co-workers but in different offices). The woman who snags him will be very lucky
and very special.
Moving on to January of 2013. That was the month I met Sam. Sam and I started out as friends first but by
March of that year knew this was going to be a permanent relationship. Sam has taught me patience (most of the time)
and most importantly he has taught me love doesn’t hurt. Being in a healthy relationship is so
different than anything either of us have ever known. I’ll venture more into that over time. For now I am so happy with my personal
life. Not always good when you’re trying
to lose weight because you get complacent with your habits. I have been complacent a lot lately.
I’m hurrying to write this because I have to finish packing
my bag and taking a shower so we can head to the hospital. I was so worried I would be starving this
morning because I can’t eat anything before surgery and I’m not scheduled until
3:00. I miss water and my coffee more
than I do food this morning.
So, join me followers as we begin Phase 2 of the journey to
a new me.
