Bad Moods

Have you all ever just woke up in the morning in a bad mood? That was me yesterday, but it has actually been a long time since I woke up in such a bad mood and I am crediting my surgery for that and I am thankful. I think the weight loss has really helped out on keeping my hormone levels under control as well as allowing my anti-depressant drugs to work better which is why my bad mood days are getting fewer and far between. People do not realize that being over weight has a BIG effect on a persons hormone levels and it really throws you off balance mentally and physically. When you have high hormone levels due to obesity many things happen. Your mood swings are crazy, you get depressed, which makes you eat more, you retain water/bloat and it even effects your skin coloring and acne. I have to say that my nasty acne problem has really cleared up allot and now that it has cleared up and that I have my summer tan going my skin looks so much better then it did before.. I really look much healthier and I even have had many people comment about it. So that makes me feel really good.

Also, with the losing the weight and getting my levels in check I really am getting in better control of my emotions. For a while there I would cry at the drop of a hat over anything and that was really something that drove me nuts.. I mean I would be driving down the road and start to think about something that might have happened 25 years ago and start bawling like a baby or I would be sitting in front of the TV and start crying over a Kleenex commercial or a Little house on the Prairie re-run . I am supposed to be the tough guy and I hated that I was turning into a big cry baby, so I am very pleased that I am now returning to normal. That my mood is just becoming very mellow and that I am not obsessing and driving myself crazy over whatever worry I have at the moment and half the time the worries I was obsessing about were not even my own..lol. Don't get me wrong though I still stress & worry, specially right now when it comes to money but I am much more in control of it then I was before and for this I am very thankful.

I am so glad that I had this surgery and so far I have absolutely no regrets!! it has been so good for me and I am so excited to continue on with this journey and look forward to even more positive changes in the future.

Take care everyone, Talk to you soon
