It's definitely one of "those" days when everything sounds good and nothing sounds good. When I want to be happy with the way things are going and I'm not. When I want to get up and get moving and I find my motivation went without me. Yep, I'm talking about one of those depression days!
I hate days like toady. I have the munchies, the weather is making me moody, and I don't feel like doing much of anything. I have my 3yr old neice today and while I adore her, I'm so cranky

One year ago today I was laying in my hospital bed wondering..."What the heck was I thinking????"
Today, I look back on 365 days of victories, set backs, wins, losses, laughter, and tears!
If you had asked me, those first couples days in the hospital..."Are you liking your decision?" I probably would've ripped your head off then started bawling! It wasn't the sleeve itself, it was my doc was such a jerk and the nurses wouldn't listen. My standard

A month or two ago I was standing in our before shift meeting at work and a co-worker looked me up and down, smiled, and said, "You're shrinking away, Tara. You look good! Keep it up." I was a lil embarrassed and said thanks. Inside I was singing!! It's so nice when people

I was replying to a blog post earlier by ChrissyD and it really got me thinking...
Here I am 3 months and 1 week post-op and I don't want to count the times I've cheated. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've let my demons get the best of me lately and I've eaten what I shouldn't. I've not made myself throw up but I've not been comfortable either. I went to the doc last week and I blamed my stalls on my work schedule which was only part truth.
