B-Sides questions:
What are you still having a hard time with post surgery that you believed would go away?

*sigh* restriction, I have very little. So the idea of leaving food on the plate for me is [emoji23]

I didn’t think I’d have to be dealing so much with the food addict side of things. I thought I HAD dealt with it but the ugly monster that raises its head late at night begs to differ

Tell me about it. chocolate is my kryptonite. Luckily (or unluckily) these days it makes me dump if I have more than a little bit and the sugar free stuff makes me spend the night on the porcelain throne. I paid good money for precisely that!

Did you have the sleeve or the bypass? I don’t have any dumping. I did the sleeve.

Good Morning Beauties!

It appears the weather is finally changing over in my part of the world! Thank the Creator!

B-Sides Questions: Do you prefer certain seasons or climates over others?

I am on the East Coast also....so glad to have the weather improving...cannot wait to get outside more.

B-Sides Questions: Do you prefer certain seasons or climates over others? YES! Spring/Fall and I do like summer a bit...but Winter can take a hike!

15- one thing that lights you up- watching my son perform on stage and hearing him sing

I prefer spring and fall. I’m not a big fan of extreme cold or heat. It keeps me from being outside. I love the days I can just throw on a pair of shoes and take a walk without having to worry about layers and layers of clothing or having to go at 5am to beat the heat .

I’m tying #15 and #16 together because they’re both the same for me. The thing that lights me up and deeply moves me is my family. They are my motivation for getting healthy even though I did this for myself. We support each other daily in all of our struggles and I’m just blessed that we all LIKE each other. (But of course there’s days I’d like to throttle them ???)

I'm in Florida! I love every season BUT winter! I know, I know, it doesn't get that bad here but my blood is thin and anything below 50 kills me!

#21 - One area in life that could use more balance.....letting others do for themselves. I have always been the "if you want it done right, do it yourself" type of girl. That's fine but then I get pissed off when I have too many things on my plate! I'm getting better at letting go but like everything it takes time!

15. My dogs light up my life as do my cats.

16. I am deeply moved by the work I do and seeing the people I work with blossom.

B-Side - I think that I was hoping that I wouldn't have to think so much about food post surgery. Clearly that will never go away because I expect I will be logging my food for the remainder of my life time and making sure I get the right nutrition.

B-Side - I love the warmer seasons and mild climates. As I get older, I have less and less interest in being cold. Spring I love because everything is growing, Summer is a favorite because of everything blooming and swimming, fall is a favorite because of the colors and smells. Even Winter has it's pluses but....

Did you have the sleeve or the bypass? I don’t have any dumping. I did the sleeve.

Mini-gastric bypass here.

15. One thing that lights me up. Predictably, my girly. She's 15 now and I thought I'd have it rough with the teenage years but she is such good fun. She has her father's sense of humour and makes me laugh so much. Plus she is a sensible girl so I don't worry about her nearly as much as I thought I would.

16. One thing that deeply moves me: seeing compassion in action. It makes me wanna be a better person. I LOVE the wholesome memes subreddit coz of that.

Good Morning Beauties!

B-Sides Questions: Do you prefer certain seasons or climates over others?

I love Irish summers but not Australian ones (too hot). I loved the wet season when I lived in Far North Queensland - warm, heavy rain is delightful.

B side: I love milder seasons. I’d rather workout outside so I run more in Spring and Autumn. Summer isn’t bad either I just have to plan running very early before it gets too humid.
