Why I Decided On Surgery..De-Fat Posting

Image
Okay so this is going to be one of those posts that will result in somebody being butthurt.  I have no earthly idea why because it means said butthurt soul would be that way for something unrelated to them. Yes, I have had Gastric Bypass Surgery...and no, I do not regret it one bit.  I also don't think it's up to anyone to tell me the following (in a completely unsolicited manner): *Who had it and regretted it *Who had it and had a gang of wrinkles, extra skin or whatnot *What they think of people who have weight loss surgery Why? Because... Yes, these memes help me be a snarky bastard yet keep the mood light. Before I go any further, I am not a jerque.  I am not someone who walks around with a perpetual attitude and my nose turned up at everyone.  I don't have disdain for people's opinions and I do accept that I am not the only person in the world.  I can discuss things and be okay if you don't roll with me.  But what

All Things Considered..a De-Fat Journey Post

I've learned a lot in the last few weeks.  As one could clearly see, I hadn't posted worth a damn in the last 6 or so weeks.  Wait...hell...I don't remember. OH YES I DID POST SOMETHING! Ooooooh... WELL! I guess I'll go on with my thoughts because apparently, if I do not blog them, I will lose them. ON TO THE POST! You know what I've learned in the time that I've been fat?  I've learned that people really do think they know you based on your body.  I think I've finally accepted that this is simply a way of life if you are over a certain BMI or ideal (as based upon the person looking at thine ass).  I got yet another message from a person who didn't like my Tumblr posts about eating and living healthier...and it was based upon "looking at your pics" and "seeing that you obviously aren't doing what you say" because "you'd totally be skinny by now". I didn't read her the riot act like I

..About the Guns..

I had just blogged a minute ago about the loss of Officer Lang of the MPD.  Her death, combined with so many other incidents (the school shooting in Connecticut and the murder/suicide of Jovan Belcher , and the shooting in an Oregon mall ) added to the big fuss about guns and the laws surrounding them. I can understand that there would be a lot of fear and anger going on because those were tragedies involving guns.  With the death of Officer Lang, that would be four incidents that a gun was involved in within a matter of a few days.  Add the shooting at the Dark Knight Rises and thousands of other murders across the United States, and you get a fear of the common denominator--guns. I'm sure nothing I can say will change some people's minds about guns.  I know people who are staunchly against guns and will always be that way.  On the other hand, there are others who believe and lean heavily on the Right to Bear Arms.  I, admittedly, am one of those people. A commonly u

A Few Thoughts for Officer Lang..

This morning, a 32 year old mom of 4 went to work.  She likely thought it would be a day like any other.  Do your job, come home, enjoy life. She won't be coming home today. Some jackass shot her several times, and now those girls don't have a mother.  She wasn't one of those fool officers who gets shot doing some questionable mess.  She wasn't abusing her badge.  She was just doing what she gets paid to do.  The word on the street is that the killer was 15 years old.  Thus far, no confirmation of this has been given. When something like this happens, everyone has a moment of shock.  We call people we love just to check on them.  We update our Facebook statuses with a comment about what happened. The profile pics change and the thoughts get a little more profound.  The debates begin...do we tighten up gun laws..do we need to change the guard..who is to blame..where can I move? I could use this space to express my thoughts on guns, but it isn't appropria

So Yeah..Self-Acceptance..You Kinda Need That

If I haven't learned sheet else, I learned that I have got to accept myself.  I have to be the one happiest for the things I'm doing for myself because honestly, tis some salty mofos out here.  You can't please errbody and you can't make errbody happy.  This isn't a NEW thing, but it's something that I get reminded of almost every single day. My latest reminder of self-acceptance came by way of reading several posts from members of the Size Acceptance community.  I've been an avid fan of that community for a few months now, mainly because these were big, beautiful ladies (and handsome men) saying "I am what I am, and you should respect that".  I agreed with so many posts telling us that we should not be ashamed to be fat.  We need not be forced to be skinny in order to live, love and exist.  We aren't lazy, disgusting, and you can't decide what we are or aren't based solely upon the size of my ass.  I mean...how could I NOT cosign to
