kristieshannon got a reaction from ms.sss in OOTD
Tonight’s date night dress with the guy who is now official boyfriend status ❤️ He planned a great night at a wonderful Italian restaurant in Portland. Good food, but even better company!

kristieshannon got a reaction from Arabesque in Covid Positive
This is so incredibly selfish and irresponsible. And also can have potential health ramifications for the patient. You don’t want to undergo surgery which includes intubation when your lung function is compromised. -

Me too! Mine were awful. I had an arm lift and am so happy. I now feel comfortable in short sleeves, spaghetti straps, and even strapless dresses.

kristieshannon got a reaction from Arabesque in Can obesity be a culprit of depression?
It can be part of a whole negative feedback loop. You’re depressed, spend more time in bed or on the couch or self soothing with food, so gain weight, which makes you feel worse about yourself so you isolate more. There’s a big study out of the UK that says the initial prescription for depression should be physical activity rather than medication (although meds are often necessary). It doesn’t have to be rigorous exercise, just getting out for a daily walk is a great start, or even just gentle stretching. (I’m a psych nurse)

Date night. It’s # 5 with this guy, I’m thinking he’s a keeper! With and without a denim jacket. Our PNW weather hasn’t caught on yet that it is supposed to be warm & sunny.

You look fabulous @Arabeque! Absolutely love the whole outfit. How cold is it this time of year? We will hit 100°F here in Portland, OR today! -

Have you tried unsweetened apple sauce? That should be ok pre-solids, and give you a taste of fruit.

Skin can be dealt with too. Check out the plastic/reconstructive surgery forum. Lots of us on here had a variety of skin removal surgeries (myself included). I agree with @Sleeve_Me_Alone though, even if I hadn’t had the extra skin removed I’d still trade be thrilled to be happy & healthy.

Oh gosh, I have to wear all the stuff I bought during COVID and never got a chance to wear first!
