Day 6- Stomach Attack
Funny thing happen to me today. I was standing behind my boss and suddenly a really loud outburst came out from my stomach. She responded, "I guess you didn't eat lunch yet?" Wow, I never actually allowed myself to get hungry for so long.

Catherines'
Went Shopping at Catherines' and of course I spent over $100, for only 3 shirt and a freaking bra set!! God willing, is the LAST time I will be shopping there. I would be happy if I can shopping at Lane Bryant, even though their prices are no better. The good news is that I went down a bra size and a cup size !! Looking forward to shop at Old Navy!!

Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup
I am so bored with the Onion, Beef, and Chicken Broth , so my husband came up with an idea to try Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup with out the noodles. There was so many favors Beef, Chicken, Shrimp, Lime Shrimp, Lime Chili Shrimp and Oriental. I know the salt content is very high, so tonight I will use only a half pack of Oriental favoring .

Personal accounting of diet history for the past 5 years.
Here is my personal diet history I had to summit to my insurance company.
January 2004 thru December 2004 – I did not precipitate in any formal diet. I did try to avoid eating fast food and watch out on the carbohydrates. I was a working full time and going to college. With my busy schedule, it was easy on some days, and hard on others. I had to eat on the road and fast food was the easiest choice to make. Of course, I did not enjoy the meal because I gobbled it down. It was difficult for me do any aerobic exercise due to long-term knee problem. I was fortuning enough to precipitate in beginning swimming, which enables me to get some cardio three times a week for six weeks. I was able to lose about 20 pounds, but when the holidays came around I slipped back into my old habits and gained the 20 pounds back plus approximately 35 more.
March 2005 thru August 2005 – I attempted again to lose the weight. I bought the Michael Thurmond's 6 Week Body Makeover weight lost plan, it was a dismal failure. I was not very ready to commit to any weight loss plan but I stuck it out for a month and lost around 12 pounds before falling off the wagon. Then I tried the Slimfast diet for 3 months, again it was a dismal failure. Eating a lot of the same kind of thing, in this case a diet drink became tedious and boring for me. Over time, I tend rebelled against the habit and give up on dieting completely.
September 2006 thru March 2008 - Things turning bad to worse, wearing clothes became uncomfortable, sitting in a plane seat is out of the question, and it is hard to breath just walking short distances or up a flight of stairs. My highest weight was 480 pounds; I have high blood pressure and high gluclose levels. My primary doctor prescribed me 2000 mgs of Metformin and 37.5 mgs of Phentermine. I was order to be on a low carbohydrate diet (Atkins) and start and walking regimen 3 times a week. After an up and down fight with my weight, I was able to lose 90 pounds. Over time, I had to stop taking Phentermine due to no sleep and body shakiness. In January 2008, I developed very high cholesterol and was order to take Simvastatin and cut down on eating meat. Due to a minor knee injury and busy work schedule, I stopped my walking regimen. At the end of my Atkins Diet, I begin to gain the weight back fast.
April 2008 to July 2009 – Now, I have to walk with two knee braces for time to time. With my desk job occupation, it seems everything I eat makes me weight gain. I am back up to 430 pounds and my cholesterol is still high. I have a hard time avoiding fast food meals and cheap high calories junk food. I eat many foods with white bread, white rice and flour tortillas. I still gobble my food down, even when I am not in a hurry, which develops my acid reflux. My old eating habits it slowing kill me, so I am looking forward for the lap band to guide me to a healthier lifestyle.
