I haven't been around in a long time. Which is probably a bad thing in of itself.

I had surgery on 9/20/13. At that time I weighed 247, with my highest being 276. By June 2014 I was down to 161 with a goal of losing another 11 lbs. I never made

Recommitted - I WILL get to goal - I did it...I fell off the wagon. It was slow at first - an Andies mint before bed, a tootsie pop mid-afternoon at work. No big deal. That slowly crept into several fun sized candy ...

Almost a year - Before/After Pic - It's almost been a year since surgery. Sometimes I forget how far I've come...but now I have this to remind me.   May 2013 vs. August 2014

With my co-workers at our gala last week. Love this dress!

Is this a stall or am I done losing? - The last recorded weight loss was June 23 at 161.8. Since then I've re-gained and lost the same 2-3 lbs. I haven't really changed anything that I'm doing - still eating 60-80 grams...

Dear Brownie, - I can't eat you. You and I both know that. The gluten in you would reek havoc on my digestive systems for days. Yet here you are, out of the boxed lunch I received at my meeting an...

Night time snacking...ARGH! - I'm having a major issue with night time snacking lately. I don't know what it is, but as soon as the sun goes down I just want to EAT! Last night I really made a conscious effort ...

Long Post - Sister's Complications with Bypass - A little over 10 years ago my sister underwent Gastric Bypass (Ryn Y). Prior to surgery, she weighed in at 450, was told by her primary care doctor that if she didn't have surgery ...

My adapted view on food - is it wrong? - Two of my co-workers invited me out to lunch today and I passed because 1) They were going to Firehouse Subs and that's kind of pointless for a Celiacer and 2) I've been lax about ...

Is my pinched nerve "waking up"? - So about six years ago I got really, really sick for about six weeks...I'm talking 103 degree fevers, sleeping 18 hours a day, having explosive diarrhea sick. It was bad. I ended u...

Body Image - This is hard, ya'll. Last week I posted about feeling 'fat-skinny' - where everything was still fat but just smaller. I mostly feel over that. In fact, yesterday I bought some tank...

Today I feel fat-skinny - Most days I'm so pleased with how I look. Most days I love seeing myself in the mirror when I walk past one. Today is not one of those days. I don't know if its the outfit I'm wea...

Yesterday's Milestone...and ramblings. - I didn't have a chance to post yesterday, but I wanted to share that as of yesterday, I am no longer obese. I didn't realize I'd be as excited about this milestone as I was. It was...

This tiny tummy is closed for business - Hello all! Last week I was in Medellin, Colombia for a conference. It was quite the experience! I faced a lot of food challenges, but most of them related to my Celiac Disease and...

A magical moment on the stairs... - This weekend I was at a conference in Chicago and on Saturday evening we took the El into downtown for dinner. We had a large group of about 20, so it made for lines and waiting......

Update on my freakout - Last week sometime I posted that I was freaking out because I was late and worried about being pregnant. Thank you to everyone for your reassurance that it was probably nothing and...

Didn't heed warnings...kind of freaking out - Okay...I'm probably overreacting. It's probably fine. I should probably just chill out. Someone needs to say all of these things to me. My period is late. Not super late...four da...

Sometimes incredible things happen - At this moment six months ago I was being admitted to the hospital. I was sleeved and awake and my blood pressure was spiking out of control. No one knew why. We will never know. B...

I feel like a million bucks today - I wasn't going to post anything about this until I was down 100...I'm down 97.6. SOOO close. I still have a week and a half before my 6 month surgiversary and I have no doubts that...

Is there any more room for me...in those jeans? - Who remembers that song? Thank you, Genuine. Anyway, so on Friday I dropped by Old Navy because they have jeans on sale for $19 right now (yes...run, don't walk!). I've been fluct...

This feels like a weird thing to celebrate... - But I just ate almost an entire Half Fuji Apple Salad from Panera. All that was left were a few pieces of lettuce and tomatoes.  Again, it feels weird to celebrate something like ...
