Valentines Day Sleeve Style and Single

This is the first year I am thin for V Day; honestly in the back of my mind Prince Charming would be sitting here with me, ready at his avail to bequeath me with gifts. Well he is not, thank God my Dad is here hes  my Valentine again plus he got me WLS gifts how can I complain and my Mom cant complain either. I love my parents more than anyone or anything in the world and my little Yorky too. 

But it is hard, seeing everyone pair off, have families and here I am alone and single and ready to mingle. I always look it at this way while all my friends were single in their early 20's and college years I was not, I was seriously involved with a great man whom I am still dear friends with to this day. The reasons that relationship ended are simple we wanted different things but are still invovled in each others lives. 

Having this surgery changed my life I am sitting here hovering in the high 160's not the 260's 160's, being told I am too thin and need to stop losing soon, cracks me up. 

I break down my life into three areas personal, professional and academic. When they are all in balance I am happy. 

Personal I break down into as family, health and love life. 

Professional: Work

Academic: School

Professional and Academic are in great balance right now

My health, my family and all that is great but my love life is lagging seriously lacking. I seriously thought being thin would make it easier and then I realized my size was not the issue its just hard to meet people in the real world. 

Sometimes I wish he would just appear but I guess he wont so happy V Day Sleeve Style 

You Need to Eat More....

Yesterday I saw my NUT Janet and it was the first time I had seen her since the holidays. I am now a mere ten lbs from goal. They told me I could stop losing weight now and I would be fine at 170. I explained to her, I did not get this far and cut out my stomach to stop at 170 lets push to 160. 

Well they were worried because I had lost 29 lbs in two months, I mean I did not change much of anything. Ate what I normally did so my body likes my sleeve LOL. Anyway I decided to listen to her and slow it down, I was getting worried because if I stretch my arms enough while undressed I can see my rib cage and sternum. I dont want to look like a walking skeleton. 

I did this surgery to be healthy. 

Food was always the enemy to me, it was the enemy. It was a dangerous relationship I had with food, we loved each other and hated each other. Food was there for me when no one else or anything was. Since surgery I have embraced such a full life now, I have amazing friends, a great job and am finally getting my MSW. 

I am busy but I love it. I am happy a little tired I am not going to lie and ensuring i am eating enough. I then realized I am losing weight way too fast. So now I  have to increase my intake a bit
