Finding me…
I was talking to a friend this weekend. He remarked on my weight loss and also how happier I seem. I smiled and said that for the first time in about a decade, I feel like me. I do. I feel like Lisa. But I also kinda don't know who I am as well. It… Continue reading Finding me…

Quality of Life
I will be honest. Since I moved home from Virginia in 2011, life has been a struggle. There have been many wonderful moments and some healthy times, but there was always pain, an all-over, sometimes debilitating pain. There was a point when I was on a cane and could not stand for more than a… Continue reading Quality of Life

In a Good Place
I always dread when people say, "You must feel so much better having lost 70 pounds!" (Okay 69.5) I would have to lie and say that I do. I didn't. While I could get between cars in a parking lot, bend over and tie my shoes, I didn't feel better. I hurt—every joint. My whole… Continue reading In a Good Place

I am very swollen, and I have intestinal issues which I am working to resolve. Then I thought I could post yesterday morning's weight, but that would not be honest.… Continue reading Check-in Day 9.12.2020
It is a Pity Party…you are welcome to join me
I am breathing. I am trying to hold my body in grace and not succumb to a pity party. Today, I hurt, and I am also swollen and exhausted. I've known that there was something more wrong with me that what the doctors were diagnosing because no one could explain the swelling. 7.31.2020 I had… Continue reading It is a Pity Party…you are welcome to join me
How did I do this?
Yesterday, a friend emailed me and asked, "How did you lose the weight?" and if I had any advice. She also deals with chronic illness and pain issues. I can honestly say that no, I don't have any advice. All I let anyone know is what I do and what works for me. So, here… Continue reading How did I do this?
