Wow. My last blog post was years ago. I'm not very good with keeping up writing, as you can see. Here has what has happened since my last post in 2011, this is going to be a doosie:
2012- Gastric Bypass Surgery - weight 338
2013- 2014- lost 149 pounds. Lots of walking. 60 grams of protein per day, lots of water and minimal carbonated drinks. If I wanted a soda I would drink one but after the surgery it gives you major gas pains so I avoid them when necessary.
Lowest weight = 189 when my grandmother passed away March of 2014.
2014 is by far the worst year of my life. Even surpasses the year when my parents divorce was final (I was 10). My Mamaw was everything to me. I was devastated and still am.
2015- the weight has started climbing back up. The walking has pretty much stopped. My "want" to do anything has disappeared.
2016- the doctor took me off my daily depression pill because "I am no longer grieving" ok whatever. The weight has continued to climb up to 230.
My brother started dating a woman named Tracy. Psycho. Gold digger. Broke his heart. Fast forward to November of 2016. I was served papers at work. 5 years ago my husband and I let our Pacifica go back to the bank. Little did we know, we still had to pay for this truck. The bank was supposed to sell it and then we would pay the difference from the upside down amount that we were in for. We never received the amount they sold it for. It was always in the back of my head but I chose not to seek out another bill and I was wrong for that. So Jamie and I decided to go and talk to a bankruptcy attorney. We qualify for Chapter 7. We can keep our house and current vehicle along with other loopholes that I'm not going into. We filed an answer to the summons the end of November thanks to the help of my lawyer friend that I work with. The bankruptcy lawyers fees are $1200. We are hoping things won't move forward until after income taxes. Also besides Christmas, our puppy Zoé had to get fixed. $150. 😳
2017- Jamie's car broke down. On a weekend. 2 blocks from home right after Christmas. Jamie doesn't like the mechanics in this town so I don't know what we are going to do. He thought it was some valve thing that he changed. That wasn't it. Then he thought it was the starter, bought and replaced it. Nope not it either. Now we have a paper weight in the driveway. Right after this happened. The heater for the house started making a sound so loud like a helicopter. The heat and air people came and looked at it. A fan blade has broken. Parts and labor will be $700. 😞 that was a Tuesday. Friday night, the heat quit. Just happened to be 18 degrees outside. We had to go buy space heaters. We kept blowing breakers. But the boys rooms were nice and toasty which was the important thing here. Monday afternoon at 3pm the part came in and the heat was fixed $707.58.
My weight situation: I'm still hanging at 230 and it's the first of Jan 2017. I know what I need to do. It's just when I'm going to do it.
I'm sure I've left out a lot of things---I'll try to update more often.
