Birthday Goal

I VERY rarely set a timed goal.  At the end of 2013, it felt like a big deal to say I was getting to onederland (my goal) in 2014.

But here I am ready to make an even shorter-term goal.

I want to lose 15 pounds before my 26th birthday.

That means I need to lose 15 pounds in 8 weeks.  CAN I do it?  Yes!  It will be hard, but I'm going to bust my ass between now and then so that hopefully I will see 222 or lower on my birthday!  

I went shopping today and bought a dress to match some shoes that I LOVE.  The dress is nice but will be great once I lose another 15 pounds, and if I do that, I will wear this dress on my birthday.



So I'm claiming it.

I will weigh 222 by May 4th!

    You go! It is a difficult thing to put it out there and claim it and I am so inspired by you. You can TOTALLY do it too, girl.

    Another amazing dress! I wish we could go shopping together. That is my goal lately. To wear a dress and actually LIKE what I see.

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.
