So glad I decided to stop by today and see this post. You "sound" like you are in a good place right now, and that makes me happy. You are beautiful and I wish you safe and uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!

I am in a good place.  I was having a hard time, but I feel like I'm coming to grips with a lot of things...maybe it's just accepting who I am and who I am not.  It's definitely interesting.  Thank you so much!

lol at the baby picture. We hide behind anything we can don't we? I can't tell you how many pics I have like yours with baby. 

You look stunning and healthy. Congratulations!

I have maybe three photos with my child before she turned one.  It's so upsetting to me because I was so ashamed.  I'm glad I have them now, though.  It helps me remember.  It helps me stay the course.  I want to be the healthy, happy mom, not the mom hiding out, not participating, etc.  She was a huge reason why I actually had this surgery.  I want to be the very best I can be for her, and for myself of course.  Thank you!

I can see the sunshine and confidence with a bit of sarcasm, arrogance and snark in your body language !!!!

Maybe expand on the interesting things with your hubs?????? (your fault, you left the door open on that !!!)

Let's just say both of our libidos are out of control, but I have much more energy since I'm in better shape :)  He recently compared me to a teenage boy.  Hahahaha.
