About My Blog

May 08, 2011

I'm wanting to use this blog as a way to have everything in one place.  I've been keeping a handwritten journal and it is just so much easier to type it up.  This is really a place for me.  A place that I can track my goals, my weight, my NSV's (non-scale victories), my up's and down's, daily food journal, monthly pictures, etc.  In saying that, I decided to put myself out there (somewhat scary!) because I know 2 people that have had WLS and their choice to be open and honest with me has made this process much less scary and something I look forward to each and every day.  I also like the idea of sharing myself/post-WLS experiences almost as a way to give back.  This site, as well as verticalsleevetalk.com have been a true inspiration and daily tool for me on this journey.  I believe we can all learn from one another, especially those of us who have actually lived being overweight and who have had WLS.   Finally , several people in my daily life have asked about this process and I thought, "What better way than to blog each day (I'll try my best) and then just send them the link and let them travel this road with me!" 

So, here's to the days, weeks, months, and years ahead!  I can't wait until my surgiversary date (May 4, 2012) when I plan to read through my blog entries and look back at my pictures to hopefully grasp what an amazing journey this will end up being!
