  1. Clown no more!

    Its amazing how life changes post sleeve. Prior to the sleeve and the 30 pounds I have lost so far getting dressed and ready to leave was always such a chore. I had to have the perfect out fit with matching jewelry and my make up oh my goodness could make a girl late for everything. I had to be perfect to hide my puffy bloated double chin face. I foolishly thought if I made myself fancy no one would notice how large or miserable I was. Well I am sitting in a local pub waiting for my also sleeved ...

  5. So this is how they see us.

    The other day I was in my local grocery store with my 19 year old son and my always slim best friend. I saw a cashier who just broke my heart that I could immediately empathize with. She was a very large woman so large in fact her stomach rested on the counter she was standing at to ring in groceries. I said aloud poor baby--my young naturally thin no matter what he eats son said; "Mom why feel bad for her, its her own fault!" I realized he couldnt relate but didnt want him to have this ...
