The Current and Sassy Me
My Story
November 22, 2005, I had a gastric bypass surgery called the Mini Gastric Bypass. I weighed 292 pounds. (My highest weight was 311 pounds.) I had struggled with the idea of surgery until I read the facts: that the percentage of people who had over 100 pounds to lose that lost it, and kept it off was nil. I was slowly dying.
I lost 147 pounds and my life has changed in so many ways. I am the person I was meant to be. Recently, I started to forget where I came from and lost track and gained some weight back. But like the Phoenix, I rise from the ashes and renew myself. The Warrior returns. Join me as I battle this war, and win.
If I can do this, so can you!

Funeral For A Friend
Food is no longer my friend. I have lost that relationship. I am in mourning for it this week. Sad, angry, happy--no matter what I could count on food to make it "better". Food smothered down the anger, the rage, the sadness. It enhanced the happiness. Or so I thought. Food really is neutral, that I know. But my relationship to it was not. It was there for me when I could count on no one else. Even myself. It's weird. I knew this time would come, but I did not know how intense this would feel.
