Phew... I needed to do that.  Because 99% of the time, I don't feel like I look different.  Then I came across a photo this weekend from the day I decided I was going to change something.  July 4 last year I was in Miami and I decided when I got home I was going to schedule my Lap Band consultation.  Here's a pic from that day:


And here is a photo of me this weekend, squeezing into a size 12 dress a friend gave me...

I really think I am going to write that phrase over and over again on my bathroom mirror tonight so that I will start believing it.

    I have the same problem. A lot of people have told me lately that I look very different, but I have trouble seeing it. When I see photos of myself, all I notice is my stomach. Mirror writing it is!

I'm turning 25 at the end of this week so I wanted to write 25 things I'm thankful I can now do that I couldn't do at this time last year in celebration of another year of life. 1. Buckle an airplane seat belt. 2. Shop in a non plus size section of a store. 3. Snugly squeeze in a size 12 dress!!! 4. Run more than 30 seconds! 5. Go on a blind date without wondering if he's going to think I look fatter than my pictures. 6. Climb the Eiffel Tower!!! 7. Get excited about having my picture taken. 8. Sorry for TMI...but "adult time" is so much more fun! 9. Step on the scale to see a number that begins with 2. 10. Finish a whole Zumba class. 11. "Get low" dancing and get back up. 12. Feel full! 13. Get drunk off of 2 glasses of wine lol. 14. Paint my own toes. (Although I still prefer not to) 16. There's a store that sells athletic apparel for my alma mater, and for the first time, I bought a jacket from the women's se...

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...

Shake Shake Shake, Shake your...... blender ball!

  I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Donna for introducing me to MyBariatricPantry.com !!!!  They sell protein powder by the tub or in samples (as well as other products).  I chose to go with 35 different samples. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know I've always been the "I hate protein powder" type of girl. Not anymore. So I wanted to share that with you. So far I have tried: Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade Syntrax Nectar Chocolate Truffle Syntrax Nectar Caribbean Cooler Matrix Mint Cookie  (mmmmmmmmm) The Matrix Mint Cookie seriously tasted like a mint chocolate chip milkshake (but melty).  I bet if I put it in a blender with some ice, it would be as good as a milkshake. I will be buying that one in the huge tub!  All have been great so far though! Also, every single morning it seems like I see a new lower number! Eff yes!
