My Rescue Is Possible

I just got home from work (where I had to stand up at a register for 4 hours) Everytime I coughed/sneezed my port area would feel really tight and then I would move around a bit and it would relax It doesn't hurt, it's just a bit uncomfortable at the time Has anyone else experienced this?

Never get too excited about a loss + don't update your ticker until weigh in day Gahh I was so excited that one day this week the scale showed 89.7kg It didn't, however, show me that this morning for my official weigh in My weight is coming off so so so slowly these days Last weeks weight: 90.3kg This weeks weight: 89.9kg Loss of 0.4kg (0.88lbs) I know it's my fault I'm eating crap, not exercising and I drank way too much this weekend But it's so frustrating!

I was sifting through the family computer and came across this hideous photo I look like a moron because I had just come off the slide Cannot believe I used to look like this Definitely gives me some much needed motivation to kick ass!

goodbye 90's!! Snuck in a weigh in this morning and it read 89.9kg (197.78lbs) each of the three times I tried :P I have not been in the 80's for about 5 years and it feels amazing That makes my total loss so far: 36.7kg (80.7lbs) I love saying "I've lost 80lbs" Even if no one here can calculate how much it is! So much awesome things happened last week The best thing in the world happened on Thursday. I walked into a shop[ called Glassons. It's a very girly, on trend shop. But it's one of the very few that stock up to a size 16. The girl in there was super nice (have you noticed that when you lose a bit of weight shop assistances are actually willing to help you out?). Anyways I had my eye on two gorgeous dresses. I have become so much more comfortable in my body now that I go straight to the dresses rather than sticking to loose fitting tops and jeans! The one dress I really loved was only available in a size 14 but I tried it on anyways...and it fit! I w...

Last week: 90.8kg (199.76lbs) This week: 90.3kg (198.66lbs) Total loss: 0.5kg (1.1lbs) Decent loss considering I didn't exercise, didn't drink enough water and didn't eat right at all I don't know why I keep sabotaging myself I have a goal, I have a deadline but I still don't work for it I have been really sick all week and it is TOM So let's hope that this week my eating will return to normal and I can get back on track

Well sort of :P Found these pictures from early post op and was shocked to see how far my ass stuck out! Love seeing comparisons...especially at times like these where I'm barely losing

Oh man I have had the worst stomach ache for the last two days I have know idea where it's coming from but I hope it hasn't got anything to do with the band Yesterday I slept fine and thought it was gone Then the minute I started eating breakfast I've just been feeling sick all day It's hard to explain but it feels like cramps but all over my stomach, not just in one spot Has anyone felt this before? I don't think going to the doctor would be much help because I just can't define what I'm feeling Food is still able to go down though, so I don't think it would be a slipped band

First of all...I just cannot stop eating Seriously if I'm not working then I am sitting at home eating crap I don't want to get a fill because I know I won't be able to eat in Europe But I just have no will power right now When I'm overseas I'm sure I'll be so tight on money that I won't be able to afford junk But I don't want to gain weight before I even get to Europe Blahhh it feels just like bandster hell again Anyways to my NSV... I have had this dress hung up on my wall since I got banded It's size 12 and I only wore it once when I was 18, the last time I'd lost some weight I'm pretty sure when I last wore it I was somewhere between 70-80kg I'm currently around 90kg and it zipped all the way up! It's fairly stretchy around the bust and really flowy, so I'm kind of ignoring the size (I'm not even a size 14 yet!) It is perfect for when I go away. Such a summery dress Woooo go me :P

Didn't lose anything at all this week...not even 100 grams! I'm a bit concerned now about my travels and whether I can still lose overseas I still have restriction but I wish I had more I won't be getting anymore fills before I leave because I don't want to risk being too tight But I'm really going to have to work hard now at watching what I eat and working out I know that when I'm away I will have chances to indulge, but I'll also be walking heaps and swimming and basically moving alot more than I do here Hopefully this is just a plateau

I came across these photos and was overcome by sadness These were taken in March 2010, 1 year ago I don't recognise that girl I cannot fathom the thought of being her I feel sorry for her I can tell she was hurting I am forever grateful for my band and am so happy with my progress. Even if I plateau or my weight loss slows down, I will always be happy with how far I've come

Woah that was quick This morning I weighed in at 90.8kg (199.76lbs!!!!) I lost 1.1kg this week which I think is great because I really didn't try hard. The only thing I did differently was work everyday And this morning I am EXACTLY half way to goal My ticker says: 35.8kg lost, 35.8kg to go! How awesome is that Hopefully I'll be at my goal by my 23rd birthday next January Today I am going to my fill doctor I don't really need to go but she wanted to make sure that my fill level was good I'm pretty happy with where I'm at I can eat most foods but I can't eat too much I'm sure that I'll be fine at this level when I go away Today is just so exciting! Only 5.8kg to go before I get to my 85kg before Europe goal

For bragging! But I just took a picture of a little tunic I bought today and damn I look thin! Feeling so good right about now! Can't wait to wear this baby out

Today we went to some outlet shops and it was awesome! For once I actually enjoyed shopping because I'm starting to fit into "normal" sized clothes I desperately needed some new jeans because the ones I were wearing were getting way too big and looked horrible I was actually starting to feel a bit down because I just didn't look good in them anymore Anyways I found some awesome (yet cheap!) jeans that I really loved. They were in a size 16 and I was getting a bit worried that they wouldn't fit and they wouldn't have any bigger After scouring the whole store to find a bigger pair I was lucky enough to stumble upon a size 18 pair! Went to the fitting room and just decided to try on the size 16s just in case I might have been lucky enough to fit into them To my surprise they fit perfectly! Even just a little too big!! Best feeling in the world!!

On December 23 2010 I set the following three goals for myself: 1. My 22nd birthday (31st Jan 2011)39days until my birthday...about 5.5weeks. Hoping to get down to about 95kg by then. Seems possible, only 3.6kg to go :) 2. Soundwave music festival(4th March 2011)...every year my sister and I go to this all day music fest called Soundwave. Last year we went to the Melbourne Show and Sydney Show and by the end of it I was exhausted. Next year I don't want to have to take time outs because my legs were too tired. It's in 71 days...about 10 weeks. My goal is go get to around 90kg by then. 8.6kg to go. 3. Europe! (1st May 2011)...oh my lord it will be amazing. Especially because I won't be lugging around so much weight! In 129 days I will be sitting comfortably in my seat ready to take off. The heat will not bother me that much because I will be thinner and I will be able to keep up with everyone on the tour. In 129 days...about 18 weeks I'm hoping to be around the 85kg mark...

Feels good! That's 77lbs Huge! I'm feeling great, starting to like my body I don't cringe as much when I'm undressing Yesterday I went to an all day music festival For the first time ever I was planning to wear shorts But the weather wasn't great so I wore a pair of old jeans...but they were so baggy and annoying It's a great feeling when clothes get too big but it's also frustrating because my clothes look just as bad when they're too big! I'm just glad that I'm still losing I feel good at the fill level I'm at and I don't think I'll get an adjustment before I go to Europe Life is great right now!
