Banded for 2 years

Good morning babies!!!!  Friday marked 2 years that I have been banded.  It was an uneventful day.  My band has been completely empty since August 8th.  Three months of no restriction.  I've lost and gained the same 3 pounds over and over again.  I'm not angry. I still love my band...even though I'm having her removed next month.  Without my band I would never have met some of the most amazing women ever.  Even if our meeting is only in cyberspace...each of you have enriched my life for the better.

I encourage you to keep fighting the good fight.  For those who are stalled in their weight loss...don't give up.  NEVER GIVE UP!!!  Don't do it for your family, don't do it for your husband or kids...or to make people receive you better.  You have to do it for you...if you don't do it for you...it won't work.  Before anybody else can love and accept you...you must first learn to love and accept yourself.

I have ALWAYS loved me...sometimes to much in the opinion of my friends and family.  But I had to love myself if ever I expected anybody else to love me.  I'm still fighting the good fight...I'm still planning on meeting my weight loss goals.  It make take a lot longer than I anticipated. Then I remember it took years to reach 311 pounds...it may take years to reach 175...but I'll get there.

So onward and upward my friends.  I'm not giving up and neither should you!!!!

Peek a boo...I see you!!!

Okay.  I really need some adult conversation in my life.  I can't believe that is my title. LOL

What's going on my peeps?  How are you all doing?  I miss you so.  I'm reading blogs daily...your lives are so much more interesting than mine.  I'm reading on my phone so I don't comment often.  I have stopped reading blogs at work because they have decided to start monitoring our Internet activity.  Damn government!!!

So what is going on with Dawnya?  Not a damn thing.  Like seriously...all I'm doing is raising kids and trying to keep my head above water.  My kids are growing like weeds, which means they ALWAYS need something which means I can't shop for me.  No effing fair!!!  But they are so damn cute!!!

My husband received a promotion at work.  It's for a job he was already doing, but now he will get paid for it.  So that makes it worth it.  He is also in school working toward a undergraduate degree.  I'm extremely proud of him right now.

My band is still loosey goosey.  I will have a surgery date before the end of the month.  I will more than likely drink my Christmas dinner.  By the way...why did the damn year go so fast!!!  I can't believe it is almost over.

I have been trying to finish this year strong on the health and fitness front.  However, I have been under the weather for over a month.  Like seriously I have had the same cough for a month.  The cough was so forceful that I threw my back out.  I actually thought it was something I did at work...but I was wrong.

I'm on the mend now and determined to reach my health and fitness goals by my birthday in July. 

Okay...I guess that's it.  I will try to post more...but no promises.  Love you all and hope you are having a great day!!!
