I’ve been struggling with time management SO HARD. With being back to work for the last month, I find that everything else gets put on the back burner. I am so burnt out and exhausted after work, that I can’t fathom anything else. Am I the only person that struggles with this?! How do you […]
It has been forever since I’ve been able to write. I’ve been feeling extremely overwhelmed. Some days, I literally feel like I could stroke out. I’m trying really hard to be positive and stay the course. Some days are harder than others, but I’ve been trying to focus on the little things that are successful […]
Here we are, the 22nd of April… a day of so many meanings. This day resonates with me in so many different ways. 17-years-ago I was sitting in Honors Chemistry and my guidance counselor came and pulled me out of class. I was a straight-A student who had never been in “trouble.” So of course, […]
I mentioned in my last post that my weight loss on the scale had been stalled. This morning, I woke up and I had dropped 1.5 lbs. Days like this bring so much joy to my life. As much as I’d like to say that it’s not about that number on the scale, a lot […]
I’ve had a hard time the last few days putting my thoughts on “paper.” Physically, I feel ok… good for the most part, but this journey is kicking my ass mentally and emotionally. Before my surgery, I avoided places, people, and things because I didn’t think I would fit in or that everyone would be […]
Ya’ll can you believe it’s been an entire month since my surgery?! Not that you were counting, but I can’t believe it. Monday was 4 weeks post-op and I’m starting to feel a lot less of the soreness I had been feeling in my left side. I’m really only feeling sore if I push myself […]
I knew when I started this journey my relationship with food was going to change. I mean duh, shrinking your stomach to the size of a walnut with a capacity of 1 ounce compared to the 3 pints of food/drink that a normal stomach can handle, is going to definitely change how and what you […]
Today marks three weeks post-op. Holy shit. I can’t believe that it’s been this long. I literally feel like it’s only been a couple of days. I wish I could say that I’ve been losing like crazy, but I’m at the infamous 3 week stall. So many people in the WLS Community go through a […]
Today is a strange day. It’s Mother’s Day, and while, for me, it is a special day, for many, this day is an emotional one. It is difficult to be joyous when so many people around me are filled with sorrow. This has been weighing so heavy on my heart. I am blessed. My mom […]
It’s been about a week since I’ve last written. A lot has happened in a week, but the last few days, I have been extremely nauseated with no relief. It makes everything miserable. I don’t want to eat, I don’t want to drink, I don’t want to talk… I literally just want to cry. I […]
