Exercise part 2
It’s happened. The transformation has happened. I never thought it would, nor did I think it would happen this quickly if it happened at all. Exercise, my nemesis, my evil tormentor, basically Satan himself. It has it’s hold on me. Why? Because I can move easier now. I can move with less pain and believe…

There Will Be Days
There will be days that you feel like total and complete crap. Days when the food just doesn’t want to go down. Days when you just want to sleep. Days when you can’t get out of your own head and feel FAT! Days that if you get 5 feet away from the bathroom it’s a bad…

Changes and Rewards
You hear it all the time. Change is inevitable and it’s good. It promotes growth. But most people are hesitant to change, some even hate it. I am not one of these people on most fronts. I love to re-arrange my furniture, I thrive at work when things are changing (which is constant) and I…

Weight
I have always tossed around the idea of starting a blog. But then I wondered, who would read it? But, after praying about it and thinking about it for long hours, I decided that I would still start one regardless. If someone reads this, great. If not, well then I am writing for myself. “My…

Easy Way Out?
First and foremost I can tell you this was not, I repeat, NOT the easy way out. There is nothing about this process that’s easy. I have heard many of my WLS brothers and sisters say how they have been told by many in their lives that they’ve taken the easy way out. How insulting! We are…

A New Me
A new lease on life. That’s the gift that I have been given. In February of this year (2017) I was blessed with the gift of weight loss surgery. It probably sounds funny to call any surgery a gift but for me it really was. Life prior to surgery was wonderful, except for my physical…
