Wonderful Weekend

What a lovely weekend I had!

Friday night, after running group, I drove to my parents because I was attending a wedding in their town on Saturday.  My best friend's sister was getting married and I was her "date".  It was a beautiful wedding and gave me a little wedding-fever.  Unfortunately I don't have a potential groom, so I need to get off of that!

Do you see all of those cupcakes behind us?!  Ugh...I had one...or two.
The exciting thing about this picture is that we're almost the same size!  That hasn't happened in many many years.

Savannah's family hadn't seen me since surgery, so it was definitely nice to hear all of the compliments from everyone.  That never gets old...  Also at the wedding I got a strange "compliment" from one of the bridesmaids.  This gorgeous, fit, tan, perfect, barbie looking girl told me I have "beautiful breasts" as I was coming into the bathroom.  It was just kind of funny, I was kind of unsure how to take it haha.


Then on Sunday, I went to the beach with my friend Kira.

The beach is only a two hour drive from my house, so we went to the beach for just a few hours and came home.

Just me

Unfortunately, I'm paying for it today.  I'm very very sunburned!  Ugh :(

Just call me Lobster Hollee.

Regardless of the burn, it was a lovely weekend.  And I ate pretty well actually, which makes me happy!  I haven't weighed myself in days though, so I am a little nervous to step on the scale.  I usually weigh myself several times a day, but since I've been away from my scale, it hasn't happened, and I forgot this morning.  Hopefully it wont be too bad....after 10 glasses of wine at the wedding and a cupcake and a half.

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.
