Update!!

Hi my whole 3 blog readers. Well its been almost a year since i last updated and since then a lot has happened I guess now is a good time to update!

I have lost around 40 pounds...give or take! I feel great and even had to buy new everything! Im still using my old stuff until I just cant use them anymore! 20 more pounds to go :=)

Im almost done with my swedish studies and will be out in the word trying to find a job come June 2011!

We traveled around sweden this past summer which was great! I got to see more of this gorgeous country and see some great history!

Here are some picture I took over the year!

Im fat!!! Thats the truth!

At 36 I find myself at the heaviest Ive ever been! 230 lb. (104 kilos). I got into a weight loss program run by the city of Malmo!
We are using a book called the The Complete Beck Diet! I have to exercise one hour a day, pre plan all our meals and work my ass off for this! I will lose 50 pounds....Its might take me 6 months it might take more....either way our lifestyle must change! Paulus will be doing weight watchers because it worked for him in the past! He needs to work on losing his pot belly and get healthy too. Jake will be pleased because this means long walks everyday!

I will post my progress as I achieve my goals.....

I will not buy any new clothing until all the clothing I have in boxes under the bed fit me again.....I was a 14-16 when I moved here in March 2005 and this past summer I bought a size 20 capri pants...I hope to never put those on again unless I pregnant!

I look so forward to wearing all my cute Ralph Lauren and Eddie Bauer stuff again :) Ive missed wearing skirts and shorts!


Tomorrow my journey begins :)

Its been awhile!

Fruit Loop!

The more I read about this story the more angrier I get. What kind of doctor would let this be done? When I first heard the story I was happy for her and thought what a miracle:) How wonderful to bring so many children into the world. 8 is alot but when you get IVF that is sometimes the risk you take. Then I heard that she had 6 more kids at home, that she was unemployed and lived with her folks! I was SHOCKED! What type of fertility clinic would allow this and how did she pay for this? Why didn't anyone send her to a shrink or just flat out say NO!!

OK I'm not a mommy and so I don't really have the right to have a opinion but what about these poor kids...Yes I'm sure they will be loved but what about school, clothing and just plain everyday things. She admitted in this video that she was struggling to support for 6 other kids....I don't know what the world is coming to?
