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…
Happy 3-Year Surgiversary to me!
On this day, 3 years ago I had bariatric surgery which has changed my life forever. This has been a journey, to say the least, and not an easy one as many people would like for you to believe. Now let’s talk about how it’s been and where I’m at in this journey. As of…
2020 Goals!!!
In a previous post, I talked about what I learned in 2019 and how I plan to proceed going forward. I usually don’t speak too much about what I want to do and where I want to go. I’ve always been a private person about everything. However, this journey I’m on is teaching me to…
2019 Wrap-up…The year of lessons learned and growth
I believe every day should be looked at as a new start and a brand new beginning. If we are blessed to wake up the next day we better make it worth it. So what does that say for the new year? The same exact thing in my opinion. I look at it that way…
I bought my first pair of jeans in 7 years!
Actually, I bought two pairs of jeans. And if you could care less or wonder what the big deal is…🖕🏽! I could have worn jeans before surgery but you know I am going to keep it real with y’all. There were many reasons why I hadn’t worn jeans in years. One…because of my small waist…
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…
Turning 40…Still under construction
Dog! I’m about to be 40! This year! Grant it…at the end of the year but still…it’s seriously just around the corner. Lord willing I make it! I remember getting ready to turn 20 and excited that it was even more closer to me being 21. Then I remember turning 30 and thinking…okay…30…she’s cute…I can…
Living with mental illness…it’s normal…
…and don’t let anyone tell you differently. If you’ve been diagnosed with any mental illness please take a moment to congratulate yourself. And know that it’s okay! It’s okay!!! You not only made the first step to getting help, but you knew there was something going on, maybe not right with you and went to…
Why I’m leaving my bariatric program
As much as I hate doing it…I had to do it. And “it” is leaving my bariatric program. After a year and a half, post-op…they’re tripping; like REALLY tripping! I haven’t met with my surgeon in six months. The reason I bring that up is this past Tuesday I was supposed to meet with my surgeon…
90’s hip-hop raised me…Part 3
….in conclusion! “C.R.E.A.M.” – Wu-Tang Clan (1993) – Another self-explanatory song just by the title alone. GET THE MONEY!!! I’m all about my coin and being comfortable. Wu-Tang let us know early on the rules on what should rule. “Gotta Get Mine” – MC Breed featuring 2Pac (1993) – If I’m out here hustling to…
