re-post from old blog February 27, 2023 If you read my blog, feel free to say hi! Time…we think about time from different perspectives. Lately, I have been thinking about my upcoming surgeries. I have been so impatient waiting for what I already know was coming since September 2022, but then you have to wait for doctors to prove it exists. I will be having surgery on March 29th, and according to the surgeon will reduce my risk factor of getting another recto-vaginal fistula to 2%. I am more nervous about this surgery than my […]

Reality
re-post from old blog January 5, 2023 Current Weight 356.8 lbs I hadn’t intended at all to do a blog post tonight not to mention snap a selfie of my own reality either. There is nothing like looking in the mirror and wanting to go to war with yourself. Whether it be weight loss you’re trying to achieve, or trying to beat time. Am I vain? I suppose I very much am, it bothers me that I no longer look like I did at 20, 30, 40, 45. It’s a hard reality to face when […]
Having a Voice
Re-post from old blog, June 22, 2022 Current Weight 363.4 lbs Progress can come to us in many forms, seeing a smile, making an extra effort, accolades for a job well done.

I have not gotten on the scale in a while, however, today I saw progress for my efforts of walking a mile daily or using the recumbent bike for the equivalent. Change is hard, and doing the right thing 100% of the time is even […]
Introvert re-post from old blog
re-post from old blog June 14, 2022 I have noticed lately, more so than usual, that I am undoubtedly an introvert for life, perhaps. When I walked today, it was so very HUMID, even at 8pm here and it was a struggle to keep going. I have been feeling lately no matter how consistent I am that I am still struggling. It feels like punishment for bad behavior and I searched my room over for my #Leslie Sansone Miracle Miles. I bought that I want to say, perhaps 2 years ago. Even if it’s raining, […]
Starting Over
Re-post from old blog February 11, 2022 Well, it happened! I accidentally deleted my original blog, “Discovering Valerie” which completely deflated me! I was in the process of creating a new blog that would be the home of some free graphics I had intended to be free for anyone to use personally or commercially. For some reason, Blogger created three blogs, and I was trying to delete the duplicate blog…then poof, my whole blog was gone, sailing into the cloud somewhere. Years of my weight loss journey posts that I cannot get back unless you […]
