- This has been a hard season for me. At the end of September, my sweet father-in-law died and although I was so sad, my husband was of course deeply grieving so I was trying to comfort him too. Then early in October my oldest brother passed away...
- Today was my annual physical, and I was the first patient of the day. Came across the parking lot from my car and saw my cute little doctor pull in and climb out of her car. I almost waved and then thought, I will wait, she deserves her moment to...
- Love that I can now put the steering wheel as low as it will go and still have plenty of room for my legs under it. And have skooched up the seat a notch too since now I have all the room I need to get closer to the pedals. No tummy to push back...
- "...an old man at church once told me, never to give the devil a ride. Because if he likes the ride, pretty soon he'll want to drive."-from Anne Lamott, in Grace (Eventually) This is on my mind a lot lately. So often it's easy to let defeat,...
- So Thursday after getting back from my trip I had this feeling. It wasn't my usual weigh-in time but I thought, what the heck, go ahead and check. I was half a pound into Onederland. So today I weighed again (Sunday every two weeks is my usual, I...
- Tonight the one that says "10 Reasons Why You Are Not Losing Weight" is right above the one for a recipe for Rocky Road Pizza. No wonder we are messed up! I couldn't make up stuff this funny if I tried!
- Just got home from a business trip...with a big smile on my face.In addition to once again flying without a seat belt extender...(seccond time since surgery) I:1) saw daylight! What??? you may ask...I saw light between my legs while getting dressed...
- This is from a Canadian obesity specialist and I found it very interesting. He does bariatric surgery also (and recommends it for those who are good candidates) but there are articles on here about the emotional and social factors that contribute...
- Just got back from a great business trip. I hadn't flown in quite a while, so I was tickeld to find out that not only did I not need the seatbelt extender, I FIT IN MY SEAT! No hanging over, no bulges tucked under the armrest...I just fit, with an...
- Two weeks shy of my 6-month mark, had 150 to lose and today I reached the halfway point. Go, me! LOL
- So today it is official: in 4 weeks I will start my DREAM JOB and I am so tickled! One of the things in my mind as I began my journey toward the surgery was that I really needed to change my work life. I spend from 50-60 hours per week in a car or...
- Okay, I know that isn't a word, but I like it! So, I go see the doc, get weighed, all is okay. See the doc, he says, How ya doin? I say, well, I can almost see my knees, that's good, right? And he just looks at me like...hmmmm...Clearly not a...
- People have asked so I will put this out there again. I don't work for these folks or sell anything I just like their protein and this is a good deal. Call the company at 1-866-333-7403 x801. The last time I talked to them was about a month ago,...
- LOL. So I have been whining lately about trying to have something to eat that wasn't a shake or yogurt or all the other boring things I eat because my work days are so long and I don't want to cook by the time I get home. But...you can only whine...
- Had a bad day for non-WLS reasons, came in here to see what my friends were up to and now I find myself humming. Thanks, everybody, just hanging out with you is a mood-lifter!
