I am becoming the woman I want to be

First off.....everyone congratulate me on losing 70 freakin pounds!! Yahoooooo! And let me tell you.....gastric bypass surgery is NOT the easy way out. This is the hardest thing I have ever done in my entire life. But ohh sooooo worth it. I am starting to look good again...and feel good too of course. Its amazing! And while I am on the subject of image....I bought one of those Dr. Rey's shapewear things and OMG it took me down 2 freakin dress sizes.....not to mention bulldozed cellulite city! So I have been singing its praises....good job Doc!

I got my braces on Tuesday......yep....they hurt. Badly. My spacers didn't hurt at all but OMG I feel like someone punched me in the mouth a few times now.

So I feel like every single thing that could go right, is. Everything is just falling right into place. Life is gooooooood. I am so happy with where my life is right now. Ohhhh and by the way - 5 more weeks until I see Britney!!!!! I can't way-yait!

Happy late Valentines Day!

I hope everyone had a great V-day! I surely did. : ) Me and the old man went to Dallas to go shopping and I FINALLY got the Coach shoes I wanted. And I found some more that I wanted to I just went ahead and got 2 pairs...lol....they are fabulous. So then we went to Kirklands and I got some really cute stuff for the house. Then we had a romantic dinner from Wendys...LOL....while he was driving down 380 (worst street ever paved) I ate my chili...didn't even spill once. Haha. So that was my gift....OH and of course a really sweet card. And then yesterday he brought me a gps for my car....which I didn't even ask for...and I guess that is supposed to be considered a Valentines gift too. So I would say overall it was a successful holiday. A far cry better than the roses and card that I usually get. Haha.

So I got my teeth pulled on Thursday.....God those shots hurt like a mother. Its not very obvious that I have missing teeth so thats good news. I get my spacers in tomorrow and my braces next Tuesday. I CAN'T WAIT! I want to get them on so I can get them off. I am gonna have a perfect grill. YAHOOOO!!!!!!

Well, I hope this blog finds everyone doing well. I'll check in soon.

Its gonna huuuuurt!

So Candace is sick of having a jacked up grill. SOOOO I am getting braces Feb 24th....thats less than 2 weeks! I am sooo ready. I only have to wear them for a year so that isn't too bad. I'm getting clear ones though since I am 23 years old and reeeeeeallllly don't want to be walking around with metal all in my mouth. I'm a little upset because I have to get 2 teeth pulled tomorrow because of crowding issues and my midline problem. Wichi means I am gonna be a hillbilly with 2 missing teeth for almost 2 weeks. That sucks.....really bad, but I know that it will all be worth it in the end. Jesus, I don't know what else I am gonna have to put myself through before I make a perfect little me. Haha. About 10 grand in plastic surgery should cover it. LOL. I am jumping the gun right now....60 pounds lost in a little over 2 months....and no loose skin so far. I think I am doing pretty good. And as if I am not losing weight quick enough, this teeth business is going to assist in the weight loss also. None of you people are gonna recognize me in a year. I'm so excited. Brian told me I was gonna be his trophy wife. Haha! Well, I just wanted to catch everyone up on the lastest news on my extreme makeover. LOL. More to come!

So we got another surprise last night! My little cousin Melinee is preggers too! Yay!!!! Another little angel will be joining our fabulous family.
