Look at Me Now: Body Image & Goals

August 24, 2011

Hello blog world, I’m back.  😉 I’ve been thinking lately a lot about body image and plastic surgery.  I’m 181 lbs (give or take a pound depending on the day).  I’ve lost 141 lbs since my heaviest.   I’m good with where I am, but like most achievers, I continue to strive for better.  Stagnation […]

Stalkerisms: When Curiosity Killed the Cat

February 22, 2011

1

When I was a kid, one of my favorite books was Curious George. I liked that he was a bit impulsive.  I liked that he wanted to know why?  I liked that George didn’t hide his inquiries about the world.  I think I saw a bit of myself in George.  I was always that daredevil […]

Not in Hiding Anymore

It has been several months since I last blogged (so be aware, this one might be long).   There is typically only one reason I ever really stop writing.  The reason is this:  I am too consumed with self-indulgent toxicity to tell the world — I’m fucking up.  I’m ashamed, embarrassed. Guilty. Sad. I don’t […]

BBQ!

July 6, 2010

Over the 4th of July weekend…I have decided the following:  I love BBQ!  Grilled meat is so good.  And since my diet is very much protein based, it is the perfect situation.  I had the most amazing ribs this past weekend…my mouth is still kind of watering from them.  So, if I could grill food […]

The Darker Side of Me

June 2, 2010

This post is probably a harder post to write then most.  For the most part, I have focused my blog my weight loss post gastric bypass surgery  and the issues that come with this.  It took me a while to see the forthcoming issue as a residual effect from struggling with obesity since I was […]

Learning to Love (Myself)

March 24, 2010

I have been looking at myself lately.  I mean, really looking at myself and I’m trying to figure out if I love who I am.  I’m a pretty good pretender.  I think that’s how I got through most of my life — I pretended to love myself.  I smiled through pain.  I come from a […]

Family Ties and Airplane Rides…

March 22, 2010

I got to see my family this weekend which was a blessing…but seeing their reaction to my 90 + lb weight loss was even more fulfilling.  They were genuinely happy & proud of me.  I wonder if my decision to have the gastric bypass surgery has any residual effect on their lives. Weight problems run […]

Ready for a New (and Sunny) Life…

Warmth & Sunshine has been the theme of my week.   I feel refreshed, rejuvenated, re-born.  Thank you, God!  Is that how all Minnesotans feel right now after months of hibernation?  I was at a friend’s house last night for some amazing food (which I could only have extremely small portions of) and a group of […]

Wk 8 Update & Stress

March 11, 2010

1

Alright, so first I’d like to apologize for my lack of posts in the recent weeks.  I got way to caught up in life, love and chaos — so much so that my recovery, diet and mental well-being took a back seat.  I don’t want to go into too many details because as open as […]

Week 5 Update & Dancing Even When People Are Watching…

I thought I’d be more happy about entering the “solid food phase, ” but so far, I am unimpressed.  Here’s why — things are MORE complicated now.  In the other phases, I didn’t have to THINK about food.  I just had some prescribed mush and called it a day. Now, I can (and really should) cook […]
