    I Said a Prayer of Healing for you -- body, mind and soul -- That God would bring you comfort to restore and make you whole. I prayed you'd be surrounded by His awesome love and healing, Dispelling all anxiety or pain you might be feeling. Finally, I prayed you'd be uplifted by His grace, and feel yourself enfolded in the peace of His embrace. Wishing you all the best on your journey for a healthy happy new you. Skinny Wishes ~

How do you know what weight is good for you??
on May 6, 2012 5:43 am
I struggle with this, even 3.75 years out from my RNY. 140 was the goal weight I chose for myself way back when. It's the weight I was in grad school 20+ years ago and a weight I felt comfortable with. At 5'7", that gave me a BMI of 22, well within the "normal" range of 18-25. Now I am at a point where food is not that important to me and I've been having to make myself eat. I've lost another 5 pounds the last month or so and am thinking of losing another 5. My boyfriend, who has known me for over 20 years, says I'm too thin. I don't think I am.

How did you decide what was a good weight for you??

Feeling "pretty"
on March 18, 2012 7:30 am
OK, I know everyone posts that they had weight loss surgery to get healthy, and I will say it was one of my reasons, but I wanted to look good, too, dammit!! I will not apologize for that. I went out with some girlfriends last night and had a great time...
