Let's Try This Again

I first began to blog as a senior in high school, before all the cool kids. I mean that literally, as I remember "the cool kids" bullying me one day in Computer Technology when they caught me writing on my blog. They said I didn't have any "real life friends" so I had to make fake friends on the Internet. Jokes on them - nearly 15 years later and blogging is a paid gig for the lucky ones.

They were wrong, anyway; I just liked to write. {the online friendships were an unexpected bonus.}

I've always been an open book & so my blogging continued through much of my twenties. I didn't have many secrets. In 2015, I began to crave secrecy. So, the blogging stopped & I slowly became present in my own life for the first time. 

The life I live now is so very different from any of the lives I've lived before. For several years, my friends have encouraged me to write again; it wasn't until recently that I felt like I had something to say.

It has been almost one year since I underwent Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery. Naturally, curiosity follows me everywhere I go. The ones who know their questions, ask them. More often than not, I meet people who don't know what to ask, but they just want to listen. 

I don't know what shape this blog will take. I know so many are curious as to how I decided to have weight loss surgery, but the truth is, I have an entire lifetime of moments, decisions and actions that led me to August 23, 2017. 

So, if you're willing to go along for the ride, let's figure it out together!
