This Time The Tears Fell - I went back and looked at all of my old pictures, especially the one that was the day I came home from the hospital.  Such a time, so much pain, so many tears, so much self hate.  ...

Nice to See Old Friends - My goodness.  I was so overwhelmed to check in and see so many familiar faces and some of those faces where not so familiar because they were so slim.  OH used to be my absolute li...

Get 'er Done! - Well hello Obesity Help.  Can't believe I have not posted since March 2011.  Yeah I can.  I also acknowlege that I had not been to the Gym since late February, and I am ashamed...

Times Flys - The last of February and beginning of March has been a blast.  I went to my college homecoming in Maryland; then to Charlotte to the CIAA Basketball Tournament.  I have been having...

I am so ungrateful! - I have been avoiding the scale.  I used to weigh two and three times a day to see if my weight changed during certain times of the day. After I started gaining, I was afraid to get...

I am fat! But, failure is not an option. - The weirdest thing has been happening to me.  When you start out at 330-340 and lose more than a hundred pounds, you see yourself as "skinny" when you look at pictures and weigh.  ...

WLS - Like birthing a baby! - I have spent this morning reading the blogs and looking at the uploaded pictures of some of my OH friends and being amazed! The remember the changes I had to go through immediately...

Crazy Craving Grazing - I thought it was me.  I called my girlfriend in Texas who had WLS surgery a month after me.  It seemed like we were mirroring each other's behavior.  We both have been craving and ...
