I'm still standing!

 Not that many people follow this but maybe one day I will become blogger famous. lol!

So, so, SO much has changed since last year. I changed jobs which was a hard decision to do. But, it was something I knew I had to do. I was scared and I still am scared but quite honestly this new journey is and has been pretty amazing. I have a lot to learn and my brain is like mush most days but I will get there. 

Moving on from that, I made the decision to stop Mounjaro back in December. I met with a weight loss surgeon and recently had the gastric sleeve done 2 weeks ago. It has been a bit rocky, with some pains in my chest sometimes as I eat and just breaking that mindset of binge brain. I am learning to take it slow and just enjoy food without rushing and figuring out when I am full. It was easy on Mounjaro because it shut off those cravings and I knew when I was full. But one thing I do not have is patience, which I should say one thing that I struggle with is patience. I have been slowly working on that. I am also working on becoming kinder to myself and my body. I have been through so much trauma and pain and now it's time to just relax and take in this new body. 

and onto the best part, I found my person. I have waited and prayed for this man for what I feel like most of my life. He literally came out of nowhere. I don't honestly care what people think or any of that outside noise. That is one thing I will commend myself for. I don't have the time for that. He is very attentive and patient and understanding throughout this whole new weight loss surgery journey. Something I never would've ever thought would happen. As you know, I was content with being alone and just doing my thing and I was like let's try to get back to dating and honestly I was just ready to give up. I gave him a shot, then I was talking to someone at the same time and put him on hold and just like that, that didn't work out which funny how life happens. Then he just came back into my life and that is that. 


So that is my little update on things. I must get back to my pureed chicken avocado salad.
