Anyway, today is my 3 month anniversary! I've been noticing my clothes a heckuva lot more lately. I think I only have a few more weeks with my current jeans, then they'll have to go. It's probably time that I got rid of them now, but I just can't. It's just one of those things. POSTED at 11/30/2006 11:09:00 AM. POSTED at 11/25/2006 10:20:00 AM. I'm not sure what just happened, but it is definitely a little disconcerting. I love photography. I wish I could do it for a living. Anyway, I have a coup...Had a...

First, I want to say thank you to all the people that sent me notes, publicly and privately, I really appreciate the support. Your kind words warmed my heart. It's pushing 4 AM right now and there isn't any sleep in sight for me til I get on the flight to Miami, even though it's only 2 hours long, I plan to be knocked out. I plan to sleep during my layover in Miami and I plan to really be snoring on the flight to Sao Paulo. I'm excited and scared, but anxious to be switched! I want my mommy. There I ...

Well, my flight is all booked and I am having my tickets Fedexed to me. I want them in my hands as soon as friggin possible. I had to pause a minute before I hit that "complete order" button when I purchasing my tickets online. Every little act, every task I complete that brings me closer to getting this surgery fills me with more and more excitement and more and more nervousness. POSTED at 7/31/2006 09:32:00 PM. I can show my college pride with impunity like I have always wanted to. August 30, 2006.

A month ago today a very kind and able doctor named Marchesini performed a miracle surgery on me called the BPD/DS. I had flown all the way from my home in the suburbs of Atlanta to Curitiba, Brazil to have the operation. Today I sit here now 50.4 lbs lighter. Amazing. Anyway, I'm happy with my 50 lb loss. This next month I will be slowly introducing exercise in my daily routine and if I am lucky will maybe see the same loss in month 2. We shall see! POSTED at 9/30/2006 01:02:00 PM. 8 small ham cubes.

The first shot I scanned from my passport. I took it at a Walgreens around the corner, about 2-3 weeks before I left for Brazil. It was for my Brazilian visa. The second photo I took one Saturday after I'd done a little cleaning around the house, hence the do-rag. I'm definitely feeling a little bit of a disconnect, BUT I am happy to see progress being made! So freakin' weird. It almost feels like I am looking at two completely different people. POSTED at 10/31/2006 11:01:00 PM. Thank you Dr. M! My busin...

That, my friends, was my blood pressure yesterday morning! How delightful is that? I had my 6 month checkup yesterday. Needless to say, I was all smiles. I wanted to hug the nurse when she told me that! In fact, when she left, I had to do a little dance all by myself in the exam room. I couldn't help it! Boy, I am certainly on a DS high. I am trying to not get too complacent. The last week or so I haven't been as vigilant as I should be. Time to refocus! POSTED at 2/27/2007 07:46:00 PM. I've had one big ...

Quit your cryin'" I talked to my sister, S, and she expressed the same thing. So I didn't cry for her yesterday, although there were a couple of moments when I certainly thought I might. Instead, I lived my life because that's what she would want. I really miss her and I am just thankful for the time we had together. POSTED at 1/31/2007 11:20:00 AM. All things I have to consider. Oy vey. Add the fact that I have nothing that fits and you see my dilemma. POSTED at 1/29/2007 04:45:00 PM. I've had my share ...

20 Things for 2007. Attain a 95% success rate of maintaining my healthy lifestyle. Consistency is key for me, but I still want to allow myself some breaks for special occasions like my birthday and Christmas. My healthy lifestyle is defined as follows: 120 grams of protein a day, 120 oz of non-carbonated, sugar-free liquid a day, all supplements and vitamins and exercise 5-6 times a week. Not quite. Somethings I did okay with (protein), others, not so much (exercise). Buy a new digital SLR camera. My goa...

What about my family? Well, I will just say this. Some of them just can not make it, others well, they're good at being supportive as long as it doesn't require them to do anything. I'll leave it at that. I'm putting all of this is God's hands and just praying for him to give me the words and show me the steps and I'll be alright. I still haven't told all my friends so maybe one of them may go. POSTED at 6/30/2006 10:14:00 PM. POSTED at 6/30/2006 05:06:00 PM. POSTED at 6/27/2006 07:28:00 PM. As far as th...
