barefeet got a reaction from tiredmama in The Uncomfortable Truth....
I also watched the Ted talk by Brene ... I hadn't seen that one previously, but I have watched her earlier talk and it has been so profound I have to keep watching it. My thoughts on the talk on shame was that because of a gazillion factors in my life I was raised to the feminist and masculine ideas of perfection. I was raised to depend on no one, praised for being so strong in the face of often great adversity and to look good and be perfect while doing it. As recently as last week I was in that role being perfect and courageous for my family of almost all women while inside knowing I wasn't good enough. (Hello my dear anxiety medication)
What is even worse is that I am carrying this shame while working in an environment that has embraced Brene's talks and encourages us to fail.... I have the rare opportunity to practice this and watch others break free,but I have largely remained on the sidelines.
I think for the last year I have slowly been moving towards the "arena" I think that surgery is part of the journey to the arena and I will get there. 2014 is going to be a tough year, as the pounds come off so will the many layers of protection that in some ways have even been part of my personal and professional success.
My commitment to myself is to get into the game of life and begin to let go of shame.
Thank you for posting the link

Today I bought yoga pants and a t shirt XL down from a tight size 22- probably should have been wearing a 24! I am so excited to get something that wasn't a plus size... Don't think I am out of the women's section yet, as the yoga pants are stretchy... But I'm getting closer

No idea what size she uses, I understand that isn't as important so I never cared... Dr Kim will likely be in the operating room with her... They operate as a team. You will likely know results when you leave... It isn't a big deal either.
My experience at Baylor trophy club was great, but my discharge morning was terrible. I understand that They use contract nurses on weekends... Ours was terrible. Hopefully it surgery is during the week.
Best of luck!
