One of my resolutions for this year is to start a blog, and actually continue on with it. So here I am. So I'll start with a little background on myself. I'm 26, still live at home because I made some stupid descions when I was young, and then, well, the economy sucks, and cost of living is high, and I just can't plain afford to move out now. To make matters worse I was fired at the beginning of the month, and I'm waiting to see if I get unemployment while I look for another job. Let's see, what else. I have 4 younger sisters, one of who passed away 16 years ago. I also have an older step-brother and step-sister. In November of 2009(the 12th) I had the Lap-Band, and it's been a journey of ups and downs since then. As of now, I'm down 80 lbs. Hopefully this year the rest of teh weight will come off, and I can start researching plastic surgeons to remove the excess skin, which is already funky looking.
This past year has definintly had it's ups and downs. I made some new friends, and lost some, and I've been through a couple of difficult relationships. One of which the cops were called because of things that he had threatened me with in the past, but he is now in the past. Another of whom I gave my heart, and I let him treat me pretty badly. It was off and on with him for about 6 months. I think I would probably still go back to him given the chance, even knowing what I know and how my friends feel abut him. I know I will always love him. But that is my cross to bear, I suppose. I think I do need to move on so that I can be in a healthy relationship. We'll see how that goes. I had friends and family get married this year. I found out that two of my cousins are having babies next year, roughly 5 weeks apart. That was a big highlight of my year.
My goal, I guess, with this blog, is to leave a lasting memory of how my life goes. To document my ups and down's with my weight loss, with my ventures into dating and finding love, finding a job, (hopefully) moving out. My journeys, and trials, and my celebrations. Welcome to my ramblings, and the crazy thoughts in my head :)
