Introduction This is the story of a girl who, tired of being seen as some circus freak like a bearded lady, decided to venture onto a new path with her weight. That girl is me - a thirty year old hefty gal living life to its fullest while hoping to decrease the pounds. This blog details a number of matters including my personal struggles with weight, my journey as a lap-band patient, and my pithy commentary about society's infatuation with thinness.
Favorite Movies I LOVE MOVIES! My favorites tend to be action flicks and epics.
Favorite Music I listen to a little bit of everything but am most devoted to Indie music and artists.
Favorite Books When I get to read books for pleasure I tend to choose young adult fiction (the latest being the Hunger Games trilogy).
