Rainy Sunday

It has been raining all day. We had another garage sale yesterday. I am going to CA for a visit in a 2 weeks and needed money for the trip so another garage sale. It went fine and we made $200. Katie is coming with me to CA but Andy is staying here. Hopefully he gets a job before then so he can be working. I am still looking for a job but have had no answers to the resumes I have been sending out. It sucks because I really want to be working. I need to be making my own money. But I feel like such a loser since I have no career and have not been working for 3 years. I hope I get a job soon.

As of today I am 225lbs and I weight less then Andy. YAH! This was a big goal of mine and I am so happy about it. My next goal is to weight 220 by the time i go to CA on 0ct 9th. Everyday is hard for me. I stress and worry about my weight and not doing enough everyday all day long. I am now walking 2miles 5days a week. I am glad to be exercising. I have pain all the time. I think this may be normal and something I have to deal with forever now.

My MIL made a very hardful comment about my boobs being droopy. I was like wtf. It made me mad. I think she is jealous that I am losing weight so quickly because she is always telling me about her weight and what size she is. I remeber reading in a wls book that some people will be jealous and say bad things. So she is one of these people. We are still having a hard time but hopefully it will get better when he starts working again. At least I hope so.

Wednesday

Well the garage sale went good. Luckily on saturday morning it wasn't raining but the humidity was horrible. So we were able to have the sale until 1pm when it started raining. A lot of people came to the sale and on saturday we made $400. Sunday was not busy at all. We made $100. On sunday a really weird lady showed up and really baragined me down on many items but I figured that at least i am making some money on these things because what we didn't sell is going to goodwill. But this lady was very odd. I did not like her. She asked rude questions about things and was just disgusting. YUCK!
I am so glad to be done with the garage sale. It was such a hassle getting it together.

I went and applied for a job on monday so maybe I will get it. DH really needs to get a job. We have bills and need money, so he should be looking everyday for a job. I think he will feel better about things when he is working. We are having a hard time with things here. I would like to go to some sort of couples counseling but I don't think he would do this. Maybe.

I am having a hard time with the weight loss. My pouch has been really hurting for the last few weeks. I know I am eating to much and every day say I am going to do better but don't. I feel very bad about this and also feel like I don't have any support here. There are so many snacks in this house it is very hard not eating them, MIL makes dinner with things that I shouldn't be eating but I eat them anyway and when we go out I make the wrong choices for meals. I need to have the strength in me to make the right decisions about eating. I don't have anyone to talk to about the struggles of wls and not having the support I need it hard.

Garage Sale

Well it is supposed to rain ALOT tomorrow (saturday Sept. 6). I am having a garage sale tomorrow and have already paid for the ads in the paper and spent hours working on it. Now since it is supposed to be Tropicle Storm Hanna, I may have to cancel the sale. This is very frustrating for me. My husband says it is no big deal we will have it next weekend. I am still annoyed. Hopefully it doesn't rain. We will have it on Sunday also so maybe that day will be sunny.
Wish me luck

Update

It has been awhile since I posted anything and lots has happened. We moved to New Jersey the first week of August. We drove across country and it took 8 days. It was very intersting. I saw parts of the country I had not seen before. Katie did much better then I thought she would. We arrived in NJ on Aug. 9th. We are living with the inlaws Andys parents. We have the upstairs of their house. Katie has her own room, which she loves. It has taken Andy and I awhile to get everything organized and we are not done yet. I like it here. We are looking for jobs and haven't found anything yet. But it helps that we don't have to pay rent. We are having a garage sale on sat and sun. So have been working on that.

My goal by the day we moved was to have lost 100lbs since surgery date Feb 19 and I did
I was at 244. Now I am at 233. It has been hard eating. Andys mom has tons of food in the house and it has been very hard not snacking. Plus I haven't been excerising. So I have started making changes in the last few days because I am so close to 200lbs I want to get there before Christmas.

Since Katies birth 1/2006 I have lost 190lbs
Since Starting wls process I have lost 161lbs
Since Surgery date Feb 19 I have lost 111lbs
WOW
