I got fatter, and married, and RNY...a lot has happened in the last several years.

Weight: 241.9 lbs (believe it or not, this is good news)
Activities: okay, right...walking around the block once
Food: fideo, lunchmeat and cheese, soy and ginger chicken breast tender (but all in portions that would have been my first bite before)

To all my faithful readers...which, let's face it, it nobody...not even me:

It's been many years since i posted on this blog, but I've been unhappy about being fat every day in between.

So, here's the update on my life (as it may or may not pertain to fatness):
1. I got married!
2. I had a kid!
3. I had gastric bypass!

Real talk.  My high weight was 275.  275!!  That's basically 300 lbs!!

So, I had RNY gastric bypass in December of 2017.  So far so good, but I'm losing weight slower than expected.  At surgery time, I was 258, so in a little more than a month, I'm down about 17 lbs.  That's nothing to sneeze at, but it's also WAAAAAY slower than a bunch of the people in my bariatric support groups who lost 30 lbs in their first month.

I'm not sure I'll continue to update this blog because I never really did before, and I only really thought about it because I got locked out of my myfitnesspal account (that I haven't used since 2010 or so...) and i used an unhappyfatgirl email address to log into it back in the day.

I'm not so much unhappy anymore.  I mean...I don't love the way my weight makes me feel, but I have a much better perspective on how losing weight won't really solve anything besides maybe my shortness of breath and achy bones.  Also, I think the love of a good great man coupled with the body positivity movement helped me understand that my body is not a problem to be solved.

So finger's crossed that the nice people at myfitnesspal will help me get back into my old account.  I really don't want to have a new user name for literally ONE service on the whole internet.
