One of the things I absolutely love are TRANSFORMATIONS!

I love the befores and afters on this site. As some of us lose, they start to look like entirely different people!

With that said, I decided to try a "new look" for myself.  I had

Hi Gang,

On this WLS/weight loss journey, I have learned several things about myself.  One is that I am a stress eater (i.e. when the moment is tense, I want to munch and crunch) and another is that I don't spend enough time for myself rechargi
