3 NSV's in ONE weekend?!

As you can tell from the title, I had a great weekend. It was my little cousin's 24 birthday so there were some birthday festivities.
NSV #1: At cousin's birthday dinner, I saw her brother for the first time in what had probably been 2 years. At the end of dinner when he hugged me goodbye, he mentioned how much weight I've lost, said he almost didn't recognize me, and that I look great. He said he was proud of me and that felt so good to hear. Most of the time when I look in the mirror I don't feel that I look different at all...I only feel different when I look at pictures. So it was nice to be recognized.
NSV #2: I went shopping at Guess for the first time EVER! I bought a shirt (size L).... Pic below :)
NSV #3: I can GET LOW!!! So I love to dance, and for the first time I can get low, all the way to the floor, and easily dance back up. I may or may not look good doing it, but its easy now LOL ;)

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
