Today I had my next scheduled appointment with Life Coach/Psychologist as a part of my surgical program. So this means getting ready this morning the wardrobe anxiety went from NORMAL to EXTREME on the spectrum. I have no idea why but whenever I have an appointment at the clinic I get crazy ridiculously sick to my stomach nervous. I was […]

The fractured toe fog is starting to lift! Yesterday was day 10 post fracture so it was a big event for me, the day I got to attempt real enclosed toe shoes! And I got through the day, I might have been hobble and uncomfortable but I made it 😀 So with the all clear on shoes this morning there […]

I have been a little bit quiet on the blog front lately.  If I am completely honest with myself it’s because I am struggling at the moment.  Wednesday last week started like any other Wednesday and had my weekly weigh in.  I was absolutely over the moon to finally have a big number appear on the scales.

As 2017 comes to a close I am reflecting on the year that has been! The last year I have been in my sleeve cocoon, adjusting to my new world, changing and improving my life one day at a time! I have previously posted celebrating my journey so far so I don’t feel like I need to re-write it again. […]

For Christmas yesterday my Mum gave me a pack of gratitude cards. So every Tuesday I am going to draw a random card from the deck and share it with everyone. “Describe something beautiful around you?” This one is super easy! I have 2 answers!

Today I have had an amazing day. I have seen my family, Jamie’s family (my extended family) and […]

Today will be my last daily journal entry. I promised myself that I would do a daily post for 365 days to openly and transparently document my progress, my victories, my results, my challenges, my melt downs and anything else that was thrown at me. I have now concluded my 365 days so as I transition into year 2 I […]

Today is the first day of my second year of sleeve life so I am going to start by having a full download and reflection of my journey so far! Let’s start with the numbers: I have lost a total of 82.7kg (182lb) Let’s have a look at the weekly breakdown over the last 12 months: Optifast period – 18.9kg […]

Today marks 12 months to the day since I joined the bench and my life changed is so many magnificent ways. Today I am keeping things short and sweet with four simple words…. HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY PERCY Audio credit: “Girl on Fire” by Alicia Keys – purchased through the Apple iTunes Store.

Weigh in Wednesday…. This week – 0.4kg Since surgery – 63.8kg Total – 82.7kg Yes it’s a loss but only another 400g, meaning in the last 5 weeks I have only lost 2.6kg which is more than a little frustrating. I know my body is changing shape and I would have lost centimetres over the last month (which I will […]
