Why do I keep buying clothes?
Now, I’m not saying that I don’t love clothes, because I absolutely do. The thing is, I honestly don’t need any clothes. I’m still working from home, and I haven’t been going anywhere that requires a new outfit. The truth of the matter is that this is all mental. As much as I love clothes,…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! What I’ve learned in my 42 years…
…well, mainly the past 2 years. I normally don’t make a big deal about my birthday. Each year I’m just happy to have made it another year. But after the past 2 years, with all that I have gone through…I am speaking out on this here birthday. Besides the pandemic, I’ve had a cancer diagnosis…
Operation lose these final 30 pounds in full effect…LET’S GO!!!
Over the past 4 years, I have lost over 160 pounds. That is a WHOLE ASS, GROWN ASS person. I am so proud of my accomplishments and even though I have had other setbacks health wise, I am still more than determined to get these last 30 pounds off to hit my first goal ever.…
Who is Tahir Ali?
“MISS CELIE I FEELS LIKE SANGIN”! That’s how I feel about writing. After not writing for a while, one day I just started writing and couldn’t stop! When I also got back into writing, I told myself that I’m going to write exactly what I want and how I want. That is the only way…
When being too woke becomes toxic
And for the record, I didn’t need any more toxicity in my life. But as with many things I have endured in my life, I had to learn the hard way. Going through something that was pretty much life or death made me re-evaluate where I was channeling all of my energy. I was angry…
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…
I’m a vegetarian… not necessarily by choice though
Only a handful of people know what I have been through health-wise over the past couple of months. It’s been a lot and I will open up about it one day, but right now I am not ready. Hell…it’s still a lot to comprehend. Just know that I am good right now, not out of…

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…
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…
