14 inches and growing(amended)

So I'm pretty horrible at this blogging stuff. At least the part where I should be consistent about it. Some days I feel like I could write about 10 different topics. Other days, not so much. Last time, I wrote briefly about editing myself and how I hate doing that. Well, I'm not going to go on a rant like I started to do for that post. I didn't like how it sounded and I know it would have been taken wrong. I'll sum it up by basically saying this, I'm extremely glad I had surgery when I did. I'm glad I didn't wait any longer. I'm also saying this because I haven't had a single major problem with or from this surgery. Since July 1st I've lost 171lbs and still continuing to lose. If you are anything like me and has been a big person all their life and is at a very unhealthy weighty like I was, please try and have this surgery done. I know some insurances aren't all that great or maybe you don't have insurance at all. Trust me on this, you will feel the best you ever have in your life. Hell, I don't care how you lose the weight, just try and do it. Words can't describe how great I feel by dropping 171lbs. They can't. The amount of energy I feel throughout the day is amazing. I love the fact that I'm not as winded anymore so that I can enjoy my kids more. Words also can't describe how much hatred I have for myself, for letting myself get so big. I also don't want to think that what I say is so important they you will change your ways because of what I have to say. I'm not a fool. I just want you to know, that I'm extremely happy that I did change my life around and have the surgery. Easy way or not, I'm so thankful for the decision I made. If you are thinking of getting this surgery done, do your research. Ask your doctor about it and if you feel you aren't getting the answers you want to hear, go to another doctor. It's your decision in the end. My personal doctor was awesome and the people at Grand Traverse Surgery were amazing. I'll say this, make damn sure you are willing to put 110% into this. Don't think you can half ass it and expect to lose the weight. Probably the biggest thing about making this surgery work is exercising. Honestly. Which is what everyone should do anyways, but I obviously I wasn't burning the excess calories that I was taking in, so therefore, I got huge. To end this little rant, please start taking care of yourself. I wish I would have started a lot sooner, but I'm glad I did start before it was too late.

Ps, I find it funny that I said I wasn't going to go on a rant and then end it with "to end this little rant". I'm such a failure. Haha. Oh and the 14 inches and growing is the amount of inches I've lost since July. I still wear my size 52 waist belt. And instead of just subtracting 38 (which is what I wear now)from 52, I pulled out the measuring tape and measured. Yeah, I'm not the brightest. So anyways, you perverts, 14 is the amount of inches I've lost, not something else. :)
