Firsty Firsty First

Well the first day of my liquid diet is nearing its end, and I’m proud to say that I did not cheat at all. That is a big accomplishment for me, because usually I’d be all up in the leftovers and stuff. Nope. I stuck to it, and ate only the broth, Jello, shakes, and popsicles. There were a few times today that were really hard, but I persevered and made it through. So….*giant pat on the back*.

I also had my husband take a picture of me tonight. Looking at it makes me want to cry. However, I feel it is in my best interest to take a picture each month to document my progress. Maybe at some point I’ll feel comfortable enough to post them.

Now on to some other stuff while I’m on a roll (mmmm…..hot rolls). At the beginning of March, I wrote a post that covered all kinds of things. I feel that it is time to give them a minor update.

The Lap Band situation has already been covered, so the next thing was my foot. It hurts off and on, but I have a feeling it will improve once I start dropping the poundage.

My mind- still iffy, but I do have my Xanax now, and I am regulating it so I don’t fall into that trap of overmedicating again. I still have weird thoughts and odd feelings, but I’m trying to curb that mightily, and I’ve taken Audrey’s advice about writing out all the bad stuff and picturing it disappearing. It WORKS.

Heart palpitations -I never experienced them again, thank goodness.

Religion -'tis issue filled. Trying to find my way again. That’s all that needs to be said.

Money -we’re doing okay. Not as well as we would have been doing if we had had that extra two grand in our savings, but it’s going well. The in-laws presented another demand request, but it was soundly turned down. Hopefully it won’t escalate beyond that, because I‘m not going to deal with it.

And finally, my last bit of stuff (mmm…..stuffing): THE CRAAAAAAAZAY. I reported him and his post to Proboards because it was harassment. I’m not sure if they took action or he did, but the board is no longer active. So I guess he’s safe (for now) from me revealing all the crap he pulled.

I’m starting to feel incredibly tired from this day, so I think I will end……here.
