Well, here it is...
my first blog.
I always swore I would never, ever write a blog. Because it just
sounds silly. But alas, I have jumped on the bandwagon...I have too many jumbled
thoughts in my head to keep bottled up, and too many questions
being asked by friends who are looking for advice. I also have too
many friends with even better advice that doesn't apply to me,
that may be of great use to another. So, I have created this, my blog,
"When Food Attacks."
Judge not lest ye be judged.
I am 32 years old. I struggled with obesity all of my life. I finally had to have weight loss surgery (wls), November of 2007. Most people hear this and consent to groan, look away, mumble under their breath...because, you know (sarcasm alert) WHEN YOU HAVE WLS, YOU WAKE UP SKINNY.
Yeah.
It has taken me 2 years to get where I am. I work very hard. I have been working very hard. I will continue to work very hard. Its not a free ride. And I am still not done.
All that aside, I still have to watch what I eat, exercise, maintain, and get rid of these last 15-20 lbs. In doing this I have found most of the same rules apply for me as they do most people, but most people are too busy with the latest fad to work on whats really going to help them. I guess that as a result of my surgery, I can relay that fads are NOT going to help me. Green tea does nothing. Hoodia is like eating a Tic Tac. Don't even get me started on this Acai crap.
So within these blog pages I will post (or try to post) one blog a day with an interesting thing that I have learned on my own or through a friend who is struggling to buy that black bikini for summer.

wooo! I 'm your first follower. I have a homeschool blog to get out my thoughts on that stuff. I felt silly at first, but its sorta cool when a stranger gives you encouragement.
ReplyDeleteYES! this is such a great idea! i'm soooo excited! it's great to take tips from someone who i know so well and who has had success in something i really want to do. thanks lady! <3
ReplyDeletep.s. this is megan by the way :)
What do you mean you don't wake up skinny? LOL. This is an awesome idea. Since we all struggle with those last bit of extra um shall we say "love" around us, this will be an inspirational blog for us all!
ReplyDeleteC'mon! You know that having WLS is taking the easy way out. Pshaw!

Katie was here.
ReplyDeleteI am following you now, though I'm not sure what that means.
Somedays I wake up skinny. Then I put on my clothes and I'm suddenly fat again.
Like I've always said...dieting and exercise is the easy way out. WLS is something I have and would never consider because I don't have that kind of strength. I need an easy out.
WLS is not the easy way out. The changes you need to make before and after are...scary. I don't think I would be able to make those changes which is why I won't go that route. You had the courage to do it and for that I admire you! :)
