Esophageal cancer scare…
So I went back under the knife a week ago for another major surgery. This surgery was not planned at all. I wasn’t going to say anything at all, but this is much bigger than me. I’ve discussed my issues before with severe acid reflux that I started suffering from after my Bariatric surgery almost…
Allies…no when to say when!
We appreciate our allies; we truly do. But some of you all are doing way too much. With all of the anger and frustration, you are unleashing; it’s causing law enforcement or whoever else to want to take their anger out on us. We are going to be the ones to pay. Please be aware…
Back to basics…
I am determined to get to my goal weight (or least less than 10 pounds from it) by December 31, 2020. When I need to refocus, regroup and as we in the bariatric world call it a reset; I have to change my way of eating yet again. I’m used to it. I don’t go…
I’m working on ME!
I have mentioned for a while that I have been working on myself. Now that I’m 40 years old, I am taking everything about me seriously. I know that I need help in many facets of my life. From physical and mental health, finances, my spirituality…I feel that I have a damn shopping addiction. I’m…
Give me my damn props…
…since you had so much to say before. (Just venting) One thing that I’ve noticed is that the people who always had something to say about my weight haven’t congratulated me or have said one positive thing about my huge weight loss. You know these people. They were either talking shit, being mean, shady or…

It will take a lot of work, but two things are mainly needed: discipline and dedication. Scientifically it’s been proven that anyone can lose…
Honest and helpful steps to successful weight loss…
The tea I’m about to spill are things I wish that I would have known before I started this weight loss journey. It’s never too late to learn, I just wish that I would have had a head start on this knowledge. People may say that I cheated and that I didn’t lose weight “the…
Bariatric patients…TAKE YOUR VITAMINS!!!
One of the most annoying drawbacks of having bariatric surgery is that you have to take vitamin supplements for the rest of your life. I guess this same logic goes for anyone who is lacking in certain nutrients. It becomes a part of your daily routine, at least it should, but it can also become…
Eating to live or living to eat?
I get many questions about my bariatric surgery, but one that I get asked all of the time is…Why do y’all talk about food so much? Usually, the question is left at that, but we all know what they want to say. Food is what put you in the situation to get weight loss surgery…
The blessing outweighs the curse…Part 2
Dealing With People. Yes…I’m in my feelings, yes I’m ranting and yes I’m venting! On my journey to become a better person, I’ve noticed that those who you bring into your life; can also bring you down. Our desire for companionship, friendship…whatever you want to call it, seems to draw us more to people that…
