Sliiiightly overdressed for picking up curbside dinner, but I'm desperate to wear something besides leggings and tee.

Eating rice feels like shards of glass in my sleeve. I've added quinoa (in small amounts) to my diet with no problem, and it's got protein which is a bonus.

Me too! I never liked coffee but for some reason I tried a sip with Splenda in it about a year after surgery and loved it. I now have to limit myself to 2 or 3 cups in the morning or I'd be chuggin' all day.

Casual Sunday brunch outfit (the top is actually navy blue, not black!)

Jumping in with not the greatest outfit but branching out from my usual black and gray. Headed to a bridal shower.

I donated all my old clothes cheerfully. Except for one top I had that now doubles as a cute short dress.

I had a breast reduction and lift BEFORE my gastric sleeve, where I went from an H cup to a D. After sleeve I lost 90 pounds and now I just have two empty socks where my boobs used to be. ?

DAYUM girl! You're gorgeous and so inspiring! Also your brows are GOALS. ?

I got tired of hiding my arms so I got a tattoo so now I MUST wear short sleeves.

In February I'm getting a new tattoo on my upper arm and this is HUGE for me because I was always so embarrassed by my flabby arms. I'm not quite in gun show territory (yet!) but I'm no longer ashamed!
