There are days when I really wish that the things that I had to share with you were more inspiring and less depressing; today is not one of them. ::Snicker:: I have such great news to share! So let’s go start at the beginning of the week and work my way down. I had my 3-month post-operative reconstructive thigh lift follow-up appointment with Dr. O'Brien at the Waldorf Center and everything is healing well, I have the [...]

Its All About Me

By Pandora|2013-02-15T19:59:02-05:00February 15th, 2013|My Story|1 Comment

It’s all about me. I know it sounds selfish, but let’s be honest. It’s the truth. I’m not the type of person to candy coat things and sugar coat it and make it sound better than it is, I’m just the type to call it like I see it, and the truth is, that right now, where I am in my life, it is all about me. It’s been about someone else my whole life. [...]

As part of the first two I've recently started changing up my exercise a bit and going from being solely a cardio queen to trying to incorporate [...]

My Personal February Love Myself Challenge

By Pandora|2013-02-03T08:20:59-05:00February 3rd, 2013|My Story|3 Comments

I met a fellow blogger friend yesterday named Nicole, her website is Beauty and the Bypass and she is one of those people who I just know I’ll be friends with for years to come. Something about her just clicked. A lot of people have asked me how I know so early on that someone is going to be a huge part of my life. I always go back to a quote from an old [...]

Your Voice Can Be Someones Light in the Darkness

I should really be heading to the Gym already, I have so much to do today, but I just needed to sit down and write this first. Yesterday was a terrible, dark, and horrifying day for me… I had been up for over 24 hours, I was in a state of panic, more than anything I wanted to go run and be able to talk to my Father and try to get my head cleared [...]

One of the Darkest Days of my Weight Loss Journey

By Pandora|2013-01-28T16:29:34-05:00January 28th, 2013|My Story|0 Comments

I'm pretty sure I'm having a semi nervous break down or something equivalent to it in my weight loss journey. I'm sitting here trying to re-gather myself, panting for breath and sniffling uncontrollably with the hiccups after throwing myself on the bed and crying and sobbing in a way I can only recall doing the morning my father died and the first time a boy broke my heart. Let me rewind for you a second [...]

My WLS Journey Pause Button

By Pandora|2013-01-17T12:28:21-05:00January 17th, 2013|My Story|0 Comments

You know that button on your remote control that looks like this sort of like this || - it’s the pause button, and sometimes, right in the middle of a show that you really want to watch, you have to hit because life has something else in mind for you. I find the same is true of my weight loss journey. Every once in a while you’ll see me use the = sign, when I [...]

By Pandora|2013-01-14T08:00:56-05:00January 14th, 2013|My Story|4 Comments

This is one of those pieces that you start to write and ask yourself, do I really want to share these thoughts and feelings with my readers? For me, the answer is a resounding yes, and let me explain why. I made a promise when I started this blog that I would share my journey with you, that includes the times when the journey isn't fun or exciting and it includes times that I feel [...]

A lot of people have asked me about my involvement with the Flab to Fabulous Pageant since segment aired on KOIN6 Local News on January 11,2013 about my weight loss journey didn't really go into great details and they didn't air any of the details they had about organizations that I am passionate about. Last week, I was named the Ms. Fabulous 2012 Honoree and invited to the pageant week in Atlanta GA scheduled to take [...]

I've got to take a deep breath. I need to write this all down and honestly I’m so excited about everything that is happening right now that it’s hard to bring myself to stop and actually do that. I posted on my Facebook account on January 3rd, “You know that old saying go big or go home? I’m actually scared of something I got brave and decided to do, Details to come soon.” That was [...]
