12-18-12 Day 5 of my new journey!
Dec 18, 2012
Well it has been 5 days since I began weight loss with my Dr.'s help. I have been to 2 parties where Lots of food was availiable & kept my plate light, but I was satisfied & had a great time with my friends. I have lost down to 236, which is 7lbs in 5 days, I think that is a great start! Hoping I can do good this next week at all our Christmas gatherings & my cooking of lots of food & goodies. I am following the rules of my gastric bypass Dr too & hope that allows for lots of weight loss in a short amount of time like I did after surgery. I am having a vow renewal ceremony in July to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary & want to look great in my 50's style dress I have picked out & will have made late spring & want to be to my goal by then. My whole ceremony & reception will be Retro Lost in the 50's & bridesmaids are wearing poodle skirts, guys are wearing cuffed jeans & leather jackets & asking our guest to dress up too. This is my dream & hope it comes true!
Well Anti-Suicide of South Arkansas is still going good. We have lots of donations of wrapping supplies & will be getting lots of baked goods donated at the end of the week & sat morning before our fundraiser. As soon as the fund raiser is over I will be meeting with a few people to figure all this out. We will have to apply to the IRS for Non profit License, open an account & PO Box, etc. Hopefully get some bracelets & Tshirts ordered to sell to put $ back in. I've heard that it cost $450 for non profit license, but then was told last night it cost $4000. Will be researching. A friend from school is wanting to help & be on the board, she knows how to make web pages, broshures, etc. We will be having a meeting with all the adults & any teens that want to be advocates on the board. We will have to have President, Vice, Secretary, Treasurer, etc. It all has to be official & done by the book. My ultimate dream is always have the facebook page & website availiable to anyone needing someone to listen & know that people do care & that we can do what we can to convience those that are hurting, to get into counciling. I want us to have brochures to hand out at festivals, etc. Also the ultimate goal is to be able to do a scholarship or something big like that to help our community. This is all new to me & a learning process! I haven't been this excited about something in a long time! It has given me a sense of pride & something to bring good out of my past. I was 13 when i tried to cut my wrist at school & was put in 3west for 3 nights & was put on medication. I have been on meds off & on since then. When I was 22 I took pills & had stomach pumped. I was then put on manditory therapy & they ended up adding bipolar to my diagnoises of depression & anxiety. I also have agoraphobia when it come to going places & making phone calls or having any form of confrontation with people. I have been on meds non-stop since I was 22 & have been doing great. I still have issues with anxiety & agoraphobia, but I do my best & work thru it to do what I can each day. Hope we have a great turn out for our 1st fundraiser saturday, many have worked hard to make this happen.
Thank you for taking time to read about me & my feelings,
