Blog of a NEW HEALTHY PERSON

Hi GANG!~

So for me I started taking new healthy steps yesterday and I already feel better.

It all starts (AS THE GREAT DR PHIL SAYS WITH INTERNAL DIALoGE RIGHT?)

Ps I am so so sorry for my typos... Pls DR's site pls put in a spellcheck! xox

I went to my medical center and started with a medical weight loss program.

Let me please give you all a brief history of my weight to catch you all up with me (and) yes I am putting it all out here to keep me 100 percent honest.

In 1999 I had a gastric bypass in NYC at that time I weighed

HOLD YOUR BREATH YIKES 330 pounds...

I had 3 children and with each child I must have gained 70 pounds and never ever lost the weight. Also I had a F 'd dysfunctional childhood filled with issues which since 1999

I have worked very hard on and now waaaaalah over. I got down to 182. My weight started to creep back up. I thought on no you dont.

Anyway my scale said yesterday 192 my doc's office said 196 yikes...I asked the nurse if I could do straight up liquids and puddings and cookies for a month she said yes...YEAH...

I report to her next week. I see my doc too. He is monitoring my bloodwork and has me on serious vitamens, b-12 shots, and 2 other meds.

I am not depressed he says I am stressed and since the weather is getting much better todayI am going to buy new sneakers and a pedometer to count my steps.

Would anyone out there like to join me in this new healthy lifestyle?

I know 40's are the new 20's and we are sex goddess's right? ;)

Puddings and cookies? Cool! I like the phrase, "get healthy" it sounds better than "diet". That tends to make losing weight more fun. I'll be pulling for you Sue, keep up the positive attitude and keep on a walking! Diana

Good Job Now is a great time to start to get into shape for the summer.

If it would ever stop snowing here,I would love to get out and start walking again.Storm coming in on Sunday.

But I did go out today and bought some fiber one bars to snack on instead of junk.Also Plum juice for my digestive tract.I really love summer when the fresh fruit is in season.

We all need to get out walking if we are able.

I went out tonight and bought new sneakers and took Honey bear out for a walk YEAH!

Good for you, no better time than the present to start on a "healthier living" plan. Good Luck, and keep us updated on ur progress!

I have thought about going on the Survivor diet. Rice & beans for at least 3 days & then add some fish for about 5 weeks. Hubby won't go along w/ it. Hard to cook something different for him & then cook for myself. Went from 190 lb. to 172 lb. & now up to 188 lb. Glad when this cold weather is gone so I can get back into my garden. Elaine

dear Sue,

Seems like we all had dysfunctional childhoods. I am happy to hear you are on a new track. I love the new hair color. Your picture doesn't portray you as someone overweight. I would have guessed about 150. How many days do you have now? One month yet? Have you resolved things eith your daughter? Is everyone's health improving? Momma, Sissy? You seem so much more upbeat than you were just a few weeks ago. What caused the transition? Keep up the good work and yes, I would love to join in your quest to get healthy. I can't do liquid diet with cookies and pudding. I need to have a total lifesyle change. I also have to speak to my dr. because i know I have sleep apnea. i am 48 and I don't want my boys to lose me to something that can easily be cured. I hope you are well. i removed my e-mail address, but if you want it, I will give it to you on the Dr. Phil site. have a great night,and best wishes. bobbie

You go girl! We are all behind you! (just don't fart)

Keep a log here if it helps. I know I have a log on my computer of the things I do. It helps me keep organized when my memory fails to remember what it was I did the day before. LOL I get busy and forget which muscle group I worked out... so I try to work different sections, then start all over again in a few days. It also helps if you write down your eating habits too. If you write it down in a journal or something, you can basically help keep a track of what causes you stress eating. IE... "Today was a great day, I woke up, had a banana and went on a walk... received a phone call from a friend and she went on about how skinny she was and her new surgery ... I ate 2 doughnuts and a bag of chips." - that wasn't from my journal, lol it was just an example. It will just help you keep track of everything from emotions and eating habits to exercise and healthier choices when you are able to re-read the journal. It can also be therapeutic to keep your thoughts and such for later reference.. whether or not you are progressing or regressing.
