Happy ‘3rd Birthday’ To Me!!!! The Good, The Bad, The Pretty And The Ugly; A Reveal All Post!
31 January 2010My ‘3rd Birthday’ is coming up this Friday, Feb 5, 2010. 3 years ago on Friday I arrived at ’stupid o’clock’ in the morning at Roanoke Memorial Hospital amidst a windchill that can only be described as what Northern Canada must feel like. It was awful and in fact snowed the next day while I was [...]
Happy New Year 2010!!!!!!!
1 January 2010Here it is, another New Year. Where did the last one go? They all seem to go faster and faster? It is so hard to believe it has been 10 years since Y2k. It is scary. In any event, it has been a challenging couple of years (not so much weight wise, thank goodness, but [...]
At Last!
21 October 2009I knew I would make it! I am too determined not to gain weight to not make it so I did it! I got the ten pounds and then some off! I am actually, as of this morning, at my all time low. My husband is not at all pleased. He says I have lost [...]
My First Real Battle; And I Will Win
29 September 2009I am not quite sure when it happened.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
5 July 2009Ok, so I have had some first! A few WOW! moments as we call them in the WLS world. One for me is the ability to wear high heels without falling over. Actually, the ability to wear high heels and even stand up! LOL. When I was at my heaviest and even at some weights [...]
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
15 June 2009Just a quick update. I had a super WOW moment on Saturday!
I was taking a pair of capri’s back to JC Penny’s that I just was not too happy with because they were a bit baggy in the hips and rear end. They were low rise (which I love low rise) but were even a [...]
