Feelings Vlog 5/19/10 at OneTrueMedia.com

So I just had to share this. I hope I do not offend anyone with generalizations. I feel like I understand almost everyone's possible "issues" with food and life in general. I am the go to person for advice or just listening, to most people I know. I don't know why but I have considered a career as a counselor or psychologiest, I adore psychology!!!

But so I hope this touches people rather than upsetting or offending them. I know this can be an "upseting" topic! I say it with love!!!!
***Big hugs to everybody in blog land****
xoxo,

    loved this vlog! Lots of great comments, and you expressed them in such a good way- I really agree with all that you said, especially the part about putting yourself first if you want to be able to be there for your family and friends.

    You look great- congrats on your latest hike!

    This was a good one! I agree with a lot of what you said and I'm glad that you aren't afraid to put yourself out there and talk about an uncomfortable subject that some people could get upset by.

    I've definitely gotten to the point where I've stopped worrying about the food/exercise so much (because I've got it down and know when I'm off track and can get back on fairly easily) and am at the point where I'm really focusing on what's going on in my brain. Some days there isn't much and others it's overwhelming. My husband and I went through a pretty hard time before I had surgery and once we got through that we really learned how to communicate our feelings to one another and learned to not hold back (that's how we got ourselves in trouble in the first place) so now I'm pretty open with him about what's going on in my head especially when it comes to the being taken aback by the attention that I get.

    So glad you are back on the blogging trail! I missed you while you were away and now you are on fire! We get a post from you like everyday now!

    Good Debi! I'm so glad! It's a sensitive topic but I didn't set out to hurt anybody. Just hoped to wake up some people to realize how important the mental part is!

    Great Post. It is so great that you have worked these things out at 25. I am 41 and just finding acceptance with myself and adressing the bits I don't like. Thanks for your insight

    Awesome post. I am feeling many of these feeling pre-op and it was good to hear I am NOT the only one. I think as a mom and a wife in some peoples cases, it is EXTREMELY difficult to put yourself first. It is however, like you said, SO important. I tell myself daily.....you have to take care of YOU to take care of anyone else. Thanks for sharing!

Apparently...a grain is a grain and any grain...is a piece of shit!?!

So I recently joined a Facebook page for Weight loss Surgery peeps and this has brought back this whole idea...or reminder that...Oh yeah, I hate weight loss surgery! Lol! So I had to drudge up my old before pictures, re-calculate the weight I've lost, inches lost and just all those wonderful memories come rushing back. Honestly, other than getting stuck on certain foods, occasionally eating too fast, my band horribly too tight in the humidity when I travel back to Arkansas...I tend to live my life like there is no band. It stops me from eating too much, that is my way of life now and I just don't think about it very often. But so in joining that Facebook page there were a handful of chics I vaguely know on Facebook as locals in my town (who I've never or only once met in real life) who were on that page. I never knew they had a WL surgery! That's so neat! So then tonight I was Fb chatting with one of them and she was telling me how she had gastric bypass in 2008 and ...

Woah...dude...it has been FOR-EV-ER!!!

Well here I am, once again starring at a computer screen to share my life or a story with an audience I cannot touch or see. I came to this blog because I am trying to get into my writing professionally part-time to follow this huge passion of mine and in doing so I had to find and share the links to a blog I "used" to write on. In coming back here and exploring a bit I feel great nostalgia for the blogging community that helped me become who I am, helped me lose weight, helped me face fears, changed the very person I am to my CORE so many years ago! Starting in 2009 and up to about 2013, this blog and this community was a giant part of my life. As life got busy, as it always does, the seasons changed and life took me away from this blog. Not to mention it was died to an AOL account that caused me to have to log out of ALL my gmail accounts just to login to Blogger so that was a pain in a butt so it slowly fell away. But here I am today, with a desire to update you on my li...

Let's get MENTAL!!!

...Lol, that makes me think "Let's get physical, physical, physical"!!! (emailed myself while at gym) There's this skinny chic at the gym I was watching run. Had to be 110-120 lbs. She ran a 13 min mile. I thought her tiny body could've gone much faster, my sister does!! (Go Jennypoo!) But she had super perfect form. Her arms and shoulders never faltered, go her! Seriously though, I think she was running on her tip toes, I'll have to try that. Hehe! THEN this hot, hot guy gets on a treadmill and sets it at 6.0 (!!) For his warm up! Damn it man!!!! Yes, I am a people watcher...keeps me entertained! :P (after gym) Running: So I couldn't run on my toes. Did my best to run my 1 mile (to check my speed) and I did it in 14.2 minutes. Not awful, but I did struggle. Maybe the leg soreness… Cycling: Then I did 6.3 miles cycling and I swear I thought I was gonna die!!! (Half way thru!) But I had a glorious finish with an average of 4.7 min/mile, hooty...
