"During a visit to Maryland I was able to sit and share some thoughts with a sisterfriend in deep emotional pain. She shared with me her personal losses, physical pain and confusion as she struggled with her new body after undergoing serious weight loss surgery. She wasn't prepared to cope with the major changes and discomfort in her body, loss of friends or the psychological adjustments. She felt as though the old Karen had died and no one remembered her.

She was open to receive my perspective. I shared...

Well actually I have realised this is wrong!! I am completely satisfied with what I have eaten today and I am amazed by this! At every meal today I left food on my plate! I haven't done that for weeks, months, years...

I feel so in control
I feel happy
I feel content
I feel satisfied

The changes in me are strange. It is amazing how even walking into the kitchen for me would cause major trauma! It was a struggle to make it to the other side without nibbling something! Now I can sit at the table with food right there in front of...

I just can't seem to find the time - or should I really be saying MAKE the time?? I'm going to do my best to make exercise a regular part of my life, one way or another.

I'm thinking about trying the meat and egg challenge for a few days. I don't know much about it, so I need to do some research and some shopping before I begin.

Getting my water in when I'm at work. When I'm at home I find myself reaching for...

Our anniversary was well spent. I can't believe I have been married for 16 years to the same person! That is unbeliveable!

The oopsie cake i made was ok...adding the jello did somethig for it, but I can see myself getting tired of the jello taste so I wanted to try something different. It tasted more like strawberry shortcake made with biscuits...so it wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was looking for. Maybe unflavored gelatin would have helped with the texture...I will try that next time.

Well I have another busy day today..I have to turn in my rough draft for my...
