Muscles and Loose Skin

When I looked in the mirror this morning while brushing my hair, I noticed my bat wings weren't flapping as much as usual.

So I took a photo to compare to a picture that I took prior to starting bootcamp.

This is the difference JUST 4 WEEKS of Bootcamp has made.
Can't wait to see what 4 months will look like!

Here's the FULL picture:
I feel good and confident.  Sexy even.  Except one thing...
My lower tummy skin.
In case you're thinking "oh it's not that bad", take another look:
That's Just skin hanging there.  UGH!  I really hope Bootcamp will help that, but I'm really not sure.  It might just be too much.

Sometimes I feel so self conscious that any man will only see that when they see me without clothes.  When I see this, I get so angry that I let myself get to 344 pounds.   

But...it is what it is I guess.  I'm doing my best to correct it.  I just will never allow myself to go back.  I can't believe all that I've put my body through.  

I will never forget.
I will never go back.

    Hi,
    The magic formula of losing weight is to reduce your calorie intake and increase the rate of burning calories. Diet and exercise is the only way to lose weight but it is difficult to exercise, when you are on a strict diet.
    Thanks.

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Shake Shake Shake, Shake your...... blender ball!

  I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Donna for introducing me to MyBariatricPantry.com !!!!  They sell protein powder by the tub or in samples (as well as other products).  I chose to go with 35 different samples. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know I've always been the "I hate protein powder" type of girl. Not anymore. So I wanted to share that with you. So far I have tried: Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade Syntrax Nectar Chocolate Truffle Syntrax Nectar Caribbean Cooler Matrix Mint Cookie  (mmmmmmmmm) The Matrix Mint Cookie seriously tasted like a mint chocolate chip milkshake (but melty).  I bet if I put it in a blender with some ice, it would be as good as a milkshake. I will be buying that one in the huge tub!  All have been great so far though! Also, every single morning it seems like I see a new lower number! Eff yes!
