Doesn’t happen everyday but the days it does, I like to celebrate them. Need to go get a pedicure and didn’t want to have to roll up my jeans so thought I’d try these. I’m feeling very self conscious in them but maybe I’ll make myself go out in public like this anyway. After all,…

Seven months of progress
Here we go. Before surgery and today.
What’s wrong with you…
I just saw this and I like it. I think maybe this is the source of many a disappointment. After all, if I hadn’t heard of others’ weight loss “instant” and huge success with every program, let alone VSG, wonder if I wouldn’t have been happier with where I am today? Definitely something to think…
My husband’s before and after pics
So we think he’s at goal now. We’re 6 months out and he is 100 poundss lower than his HW and 80 poundss lower than his Surgery weight. I’ll try to get better pics of him but I think the difference is obvious no?

Skinny Judging is as bad as Fat Shaming
I learned an important lesson a few weeks ago. On a recent project I was surrounded by skinny women as my weight continued to pile on. I was sure they were judging me, because week by week I was getting visibly fatter. When I got sleeved, I worried about their judging me, feeling certain they…
I’m having a minor meltdown
Yes I know we’re supposed to give away our clothes. So we’ve been bagging them up. Today, we took them out to take pictures since we will be donating them and wanted records for the IRS. They were all laid out neatly, and I don’t know what’s bothering me more–giving them away, or realizing how…
Weight-loss surgery may reverse signs of aging, docs say
Paring pounds through weight-loss surgery doesn’t just make people feel younger — it may actually rewind genetic signs of aging, according to a small study of obese bariatric patients. Stanford University researchers found that the chromosome caps known as telomeres, which typically get shorter as people age, actually grew longer in certain people who had…
