Missing...

I haven't been around much this week w/ any real posts I realize. Sorry about that. I've been a weird place and really didn't want to post and be a debbie downer. BLAH.
I am (finally) figuring out that I have serious PMS issues. I have known this, and have tried several different meds, but I hate to medicate myself, just b/c I'm grumpy... kwim?? I get so seriously grumpy though, and depressed and bloated... ick. I felt it coming on early last week, but this time I was smart and went back in my blog to this time during the last few months, and each time, I found a "downer" post... hahaaha!! Sort of clued me in that I'm emotional at this time of the month. ;)

So, I've been laying low. I knew no one wanted to hear about how "fat" I feel (even though it's so real to me!) and how sad I am blah blah. Actually I've had a good week ignoring my stupid hormones!

The appt at the surgeons went wonderful and I was so happy to see R! The doc said I am a complete success and was really amazed at my before pic compared to what I look like now. You better believe I dug out that before pic SEVERAL times this week when those negative emotions starting coming over me.

I've lost 135 lbs. dang it. I have a reason to be PROUD!! I LOOK GOOD!! hehe ;)

So yesterday I worked 6a-10a, went and got my nails done, then came home showered and went to a friends jewelry party.... After I came home, made dinner and cleaned the house from top to bottom for Abby's bday party that is here this afternoon. DJ cleaned the garage out and it looks great. I LOVE spring!!

It's raining a bit today but it's still staying in the 60's so I won't complain. April showers bring May flowers!!

I'm off to get stuff ready for the party! I'll be back w/ pics later I'm sure!

So you had one of those weeks this week too. My week was kind of a "debi downer" too. Thanks for the great words on my blog and keeping me in check. My head still tells me i am fat too. But your right- the scale is controling my mood and days. I want to be in control these days not something controling me anymore. So thanks for sharing your feelings because it sure helps knowing I'm not alone and we can learn from each other! :)

Hi Amber!

I have been reading your blog for a while now. It has been a great guide for me. Thank you so much for sharing. I had my WLS three weeks ago and I have started my own blog. I hope I can help someone the way I was helped by others like yourself who have gone before me.

Again thank you so much! I'd be honored if you'd put a link to my blog on yours!

Sincerely,

Amber
