Great Blog- 10 reasons I love my ugly body



Recommended Posts

I came across this blog entry today. In my opinion it's one of the most authentic and awesome things I have seen or read during my weight loss journey. As I start to ramp up my exercise routine, this new focus will help me in a huge way.

As my daughter reminded me, in my imperfection how important I(and you ) are to every plant on the planet. Every time we breathe out, a plant breathes in our life giving carbon monoxide and shouts with joy!

Thank you for sharing this! As I read through her blog and looked at the photos I realized I dream about doing so many little, daily things (like touching my toes and being able to paint my own toenails.) But after my surgery I've got a big goal: doing a kayak race called the Missouri River 340. It's 340 miles to be completed in 88 hours. The last 3 years I've obsessed and dreamed about getting to do this race. I've wondered what I would look like after surgery but now I'm curious what kind of list I could compile of things I can DO... from everyday little things to big things too!

Great post. I have always been overweight and have never been overly athletic, but in recent years I have become extremely limited physically. I am so eager to be able to do even the most basic things.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
