All People Who Are Interested In "Weight Loss"

My Bariatric Life

In 2003, I made a decision that would forever change my life. Since that time, I have been following a program of lifetime obesity disease management to sustain long term weight loss. It began with bariatric (weight loss) surgery followed by changing the way I eat, mild exercising, and attending a support group (NOT my surgeon's support group). Today, I'm a size medium and living life larger than ever!

Naming and Avoiding Weight Loss Pitfalls

Remember that song by Huey Lewis? "I want a new drug, one that does what it should. One that won't make me feel too bad, one that won't make me feel too good." One of my "drugs" of choice: eating while sitting in front of the television. It's oh-so-bad and oh-so-good all at the same time. It's one of my go-to bad behaviors when I'm stressed...when...

I enjoy camping, music, arts and crafts. I am looking forward to enjoying the company of those with RA and struggle with depression like me. ;-)

I've been kicked to the curb, but I'm getting back up now.

I haven't done a share post in a while, so I thought I'd share. I've been through a rough patch this last year. I had carpul tunnel release surgeries on both hands which required me to stop my Enbrel for a while. That caused multiple really lovely RA flares.
