  • Face off Friday

    If I was to write a letter to big me this is what it would say, Hey there girly, I am not sure how to even go about thanking you for all of the choices that you have made over the past two years. You have come so far!! I remember back to the sore…

  • Stretch!

    There was a time, not so long ago, when I would never have been able to do this in a million years! My stomach hung nearly to my knees and that is not an exaggeration. I would have been too scared to even try to do this. It feels good to have my body moving…

  • humming to myself

    It’s day 23 in isolation. And lets be honest, it is starting to look like it. How many of us are looking a little bit rougher around the edges than usual? My nails are gone, my eyebrows are growing and so are my chin hairs. Thanks PCOS for not quite going away to the extent…

  • Binge Eating

    Over the past few weeks life has been difficult here. I have struggled terribly with some personal situations and quite honestly I have wanted to fall back into old habits.

  • When it’s 1:21 AM

    Infection is burning through my body tonight. Sleep is elusive and I am reminded of all of the reasons that I am supposed to be resting. I have been though a lot and my body needs to recover. I need to be kind to myself and give myself what I need – sleep, antibiotics, probiotics,…

  • It’s Quiet

    We are at day 23 in the recovery process after the tummy tuck and I am going to confess that this week has been a huge jumble of emotions. I have found the quietness of the house to be disturbing. Being alone all day has it’s advantages but it is also lonely at times. I…

  • Friends

    Oh my goodness – my friends have literally been the saviour of my sanity over the past few days. I am feeling a lot better. Coffee and hugs and flowers and just thoughtful beautiful people make my life so much richer!! Oh I love them! I am 9 days post op and I am starting…
