Hallelujiah it's rainin' men

Ladies, the drought is over. I haven't blogged in awhile, and that's largely in part to the fact that I've been busy dating! I've never been a dater, not my whole life, until now. All of a sudden, in fact. I never dated pre-band. Now that I'm about 30 pounds from my final goal weight, it's like the floodgates were opened. It leaves me in the semi-awkward position of feeling like a 16-year-old girl who's just been allowed to date. I'm having to learn to set boundaries again. At my age I think they're just a little more sly about the booty call, but it's just as bad as when they're 16, trust me.

I know there are a few who read this blog who are considering weight loss surgery. I have regained a life from the hard work I put into this band. What is your life worth? Mine was around $13,000. What a deal! If you don't think you can afford it, MAKE yourself afford it. You'd be surprised how you can fudge finances to make it work. Is your life worth it? I'm no longer pre-diabetic and my triglyceride, hormone, and cholesterol levels are all in the low-normal range. I've dropped 115 pounds and 25% body fat. I danced the night away at a conference in Boulder, CO, last week. I was ASKED to dance! This never happened before. Your life is worth it! Make the commitment and do it!
