Day 286 of 365

Sometimes people say stupid things. I mean, I say stupid things all the time. But the stupid things I am referring to are the hurtful, stupid things. The things people say that normally you could brush off, but when you are feeling vulnerable they really hit home.

 There are days that I am feeling down and I am just wanting to feel better about myself and someone makes a wise crack about my size and all it does is push me farther into my downward spiral for the day. Then I start feeling bad about myself and my situation and I just want to run away and hide. This is when I have good friends that I can call and tell them how I am feeling and they are there to pick me up and stand up for me and make me smile and remind me that when someone has to pick on someone else's insecurities it just means that that person really doesn't think much of them self and the only way they can feel better is by tearing someone else down. What a sad existence that must be.

So remember, the next time someone makes a snotty remark about you...


Love, peace and you are beautiful, just the way you are...

    I finally came up with a good one for those situations. I tell them: "If you don't like how I look, you can look in a different direction, As hard as I've tried, I'm no able yet to surround you." I usually get named a bitch after that one, but I actually prefer "bitch" over "doormat".

Day 649...Year 2 #RememberingCory

Tonight the TV show Glee memorialized Finn Hudson, who had been played by actor Cory Montieth, until his death this summer... I was a beautiful tribute to the character of Finn... The music was incredibly heart wrenching and I'm sure I am not alone when I say that I cried from the moment Mercedes' music began until the screen went to black at the end of the episode... I admire the writers of Glee for how they handled his passing, by not putting a name to it's cause; despite everyone knowing the actual cause of Cory's death... I know the cast were following their scripts, but I believe their emotions were true... The one thing I wish they would have played was a montage of Finn's character, perhaps with "Don't Stop Believing" as the background music... That was the song that started it all for the show and I believe it is the one everyone that is a fan remembers the most... This show allowed us as fans, a true opportunity to mourn Cory's pa

So, the phonelines are down at my house so no internet but thamlfully my phone is cooperating with me. so this may come as a shock to some but I started seeing an acupuncturists last week to help me with my sinus problems. I can hear some of the critics now saying I'm going against my beliefs but I believe it takes just as much space to trust in eastern medicine as it does in western medicine, besides I believe that God led me to a place that can finally help me feel better without having to take all of those medicines all the time. since december I have been to the doctor every month at least once a month for a sinus infection, in the past week I have slept so well and I am finally breathing better. I thank God everyday for bringing this place to my attention and for allowing me to trust this was the right move for me. what I am learning from this is that when you focus on taking care of 1 party your body many times it will also help another part of your body. just like when y

A new chapter

This has been an incredible year a half since I  began my bariatric journey and it is far from over...that is why it's a journey and not a race because there really is no end. Each day is about the choices we make and how they pan out. I will be the first to say that not all of my choices are correct but I try and learn from those decisions and move forward yet there are still lessons I have to go through over and over before it clicks. One of those being my love of food. You would think that bariatric surgery fixes that but the only thing that fix anything is making a decision to be better. All surgery does is makes your stomach smaller but even that cant fix your problems. Yes I have lost a tremendous amount of weight in a short time but I also had to decide to change how I eat. Yes, my tiny tummy talks to me and tells me what does and doesnt make it happy but if I choose not to listen and listen to my cravings, yes I still have them, I pay the price over and over.... Like
