8 MONTHS IN PHOTOS

After that depressing dating blog, I needed a Monday afternoon pick-me-up.

So I decided to show you my journey in photos.  I also tried to pick photos that you all have not already seen :)

September: Arran and Me, one week prior to surgery

 October: Me and Wrangler on Halloween.  He was my little fire fighter.

November: Me, Sarah, Bailey, and Paige before a UNC football game

December: Me and my 3-year old nephew roasting marshmallows

January: Arran, Me, and Kira having ladies' night

February: Savannah and Me before a Shiny Toy Guns concert

March: Me, Vanessa, and Jessica out for Jess' 24th Birthday

 April: Me and Arran out at a strip club (I hate this picture, but I didn't take many in April)

 May: Me before going out for dinner
 

Between each month, I don't see a huge difference, but between September and May, I am a different person.

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.

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.
