Friday Funk

It's Friday.  I made it through my first week at the new job.  It's Labor Day weekend so I get an extra day off work.

So why am I in a freaking funk?

Well, there's a lot of little reasons that all just seem to add up to an emotional wreck right now.  I don't even want to talk about things on my blog I am so upset.  You know it's bad when I don't want to express myself here, because you all are such an outlet and good support system for me.

So, please send me your positive vibes.


I will end on some kind of positive note.
Yesterday was the first football game of the season.  UNC got murdered.  But in the spirit of football, I came across an old picture from 2011:


Then compared it to this photo from yesterday morning:


Yeahhhh...at least that felt good....  I feel like I look half as wide.
I'm going to have to take another photo on the field like that, because I do think it is such a cool photo.

    Sorry you are feeling funk :( Hopefully you can get through this quickly. I understand funk, I'm there myself.

    Congrats on surviving your first week. I've been working in clinical trials for more years than I want to think about...have done just about everything. I know how hard that can be to move to a new place. Good luck!

    enjoy your weekend, oh and you look amazing btw

    You ARE 1/2 as wide. It's so great when you can see the difference your hard work has made.

    1st weeks are hard. You'll get the hang of things and maybe that funks ecause of the whomping UNC took? ;)

    I love your shoes!! You accessorize like I do. I spend less on clothes, spend the good $ on accessory and dress it up! When I tell someone I picked up a dress at GoodWill, they don't believe me cause it's paired with some zebra earrings and wedges. Or a good wide belt, love those too!

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.
