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 […]

Fake it ’til I Make it: The Dating Hustle

February 11, 2011

In an effort to move forward in my life, I have entered into the awkward and nerve-wrecking self-marketing world of dating.  You’re probably wondering how a single woman at the age of 29 has avoided this scene for so long…well, most of my relationships just kind of happened.  There were very little dates.  There was […]

[I dedicate this blog to my soul sisters around the world — my sisters in the struggle, because “Sweet is the voice of a sister in the season of sorrow.” ~ B. Disraeli] Operation Escapism: Part 3 (the AlbuCrazy edition) was a sweet success.  It was sweet on a number of levels. On the base level, […]

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 […]

Scales are Evil

I purchased my first official scale for the house.  It’s a very pretty, red with a glass top Weight Watchers scale.  It was affordable ($24.99 at target) and I thought it would be a great addition to my new life.  But I’m starting to think that this scale was sent here to test me…is obsession […]

One Week: The Old Me is Dead & Gone

January 22, 2010

As of today, I am one week and one day post-op.  I survived!!! My hospital experience went pretty smooth.  I was steady on the morphine drip.  I was in pain for a lot of the time there, but it was manageable especially with the drugs (thank you God for the drugs).  My hospital roommate really […]
