  • R U OK?

  • 2 Weeks Today

    I am feeling just a touch overwhelmed by the fact that it is just two short weeks until my skin removal surgery. I will have a lap without an abundance of extra me in it! WOW

  • Broken

    The urge to write can strike at the oddest of times. It has struck me this afternoon, so I am typing away into the screen of my iPhone while sitting at school pick up. Have you ever noticed how odd it looks to glance along a line of cars all parked along the street near…

  • A whole lot less obnoxious

    In the last 14 months I have learned a lot of things. Not all of the lessons have been fun to learn! One of the most heartbreaking lessons is that I used food as a coping mechanism 100% of the time for 40ish years of my life. Everything that I did revolved around food. I…

  • Barrier Breaker

    I had a great big barrier in my mind about 95 kilos. When I was 150 ish kilos – just 15 weeks ago – I couldn’t comprehend how it would feel to be 95 kilos again. It felt far too far away. Do you know what it is like to look at the same mountain…

  • Werribee Zoo

    The things we do for love! I feel like crap and I really can’t walk for too long without extreme pain BUT these kids deserve a day out so even if I can’t do a full day – I will do half a day and then go to the doctor for my results this afternoon.

  • GOALS

    I don’t know if I can do it but I am putting this goal out there!! Goal 1 to crack the 100kg mark before our wedding anniversary in August. We are going away for a sneaky weekend together ALONE 😉😍♥️😍 8 more kilos off to hit that goal. Goal 2 to be 80 kilos by…

  • Day 16 Post Op – HANGRY

    Day 16 Post Op – in a bad mood 😑 Am I just Hangry? Is this my inner bitch breaking free of her pain induced silence? Could it be that I miss food? I suspect it has to do with struggling to eat much of anything and a bit of a blood sugar drop. Or…
