Life as an obese woman..

...A blog is meant to be a place where people can unload - the blogger herself especially..

I originally started this blog back in February 2010 and haven't really been back until recently -and it's with an agenda...I first got the idea for this blog when I was at a crossroad - a place I've been a few times previously in my life and every time I've felt like I've been presented with an opportunity and hence, done my best to make the most of it - with whatever tools I've had at the time....

But here goes:
...I've made the biggest decision of my life.. after many, many years of yo-yo-dieting I've decided to get a GBy (Gastric Bypass). On the left you can see what it's all about - more or less. There are a lot of other issues connected to this surgery, but for the moment I'll just leave you with this.. Looks interesting, eh?!
The following post was originally written on August 10th, 2010.

"I finally got around to updating my tracker.. although I'm not quite sure what the exact "little" number is - but I'll get there. Trust me.

I've started to exercise - on a spin-bike that is... how about that?! Yeah, I know.. But it's a great workout and I get to do it in my own setting. I've joined Fitness World and although they do have all kinds of different of classes, but I prefer my own music and I KNOW how to push myself.

I started last Monday and went both Wednesday and Friday too.. I meant to go again today, but for some reason things did not go my way and I decided to go tomorrow instead. Maybe I should have gone, but I just didn't feel like going today and not be home until 7.00pm, dog-tired and hungry like a lion! If and when that happens I'am ten times more likely to overeat or eat the wbad, bad stuff and THAT I do not want. Then I'd rather skip spinning for today, eat right and get back in the saddle tomorrow. Maybe that's not logic to you, but it sure is to me.."

  1. It's August, 10th and only 31 days until my talk with Hamlet - I'm still excited and very nervous at the same time.

    Why am I nervous? Because this is something that really means the world to me - getting help. Getting healthy. My weight is the world's most worn-out yo-yo and I'm beginning to get nauseous!

    I'm nervous that the doctors will say "NO"..and then what?

    I'm not nervous about the surgery itself - that's just a routine procedure. I guess they do 6-8 of these each day, soooo.. nope, not nervous about that.
