Many trips to the bathroom later and 8 pounds thinner... I'm back!


Did you miss me? I'm back!!! I'm not totally recovered yet but I'm tired of doing nothing... it's just not me... I miss working!!! And my blog and all my online friends!

So here I am... still with cramps and feeling dizzy but I'm managing... at least I can smell things without making me sick and I have cravings already so that must mean that I'm already better.

So I'm thinking I'll make some room for my weight loss efforts in one side of my blog, just to keep me motivated and accountable and to keep you informed. I know many people are interested on how this balloon thing works. I hope my journey helps others too!!!

And please, if somebody is waiting for me to answer an email be patience. I'm still recovering and I can't work as fast as before :) The Etsy and Ebay sites go back to normal now!

Dang, girl..... you already look pretty darn good to me! How on earth did you conclude you were 34 kilos overweight? That just seems like too much. I WISH I looked as good as you already do.

I guess it just goes to show how our own perceptions of ourselves are much different than those of others. YOU are already a BEAUTIFUL woman....

I, too, have been finally losing weight (I began thyroid meds 18 months ago, and have finally lost 25 pounds over the summer... yea!). I'd gained a pound a week for two years and didn't know why; nothing I did would shake the weight, and I ate less than any of my "thin" friends. I finally went to a doctor to see if I qualified for gastric bypass surgery; she did a ton of tests, and found out I was hypothyroid! Even though it took much longer, I am very glad now that I didn't have the surgery, and I am regaining my health. I am grateful to her; had she assumed I just ate myself that way and had not done any tests at all, I would be twice as sick and not much thinner today.

I've figured that if I lose 6.5 pounds per month for the next 8 months, I will be happy with my weight by the time my son graduates!

Keep us posted on your progress, please; and I hope you're back to work, soon... I miss your art!
