One year anniversary picture set 2/2

Look at my pupils! This picture is pure post surgery gold. I remember my mom asking me if I was sure I wanted to post it, heh. Today is the one year anniversary of my gastric bypass. It's still far and away the best thing I've ever done for myself. Both pre and post op have been a lot of work but the improvements to my health have been amazing. My knees are better, I no longer have frequent lower back pain. I can sleep comfortably. I was so nervous during the week before surgery. If I could go back and hug my past self and say it will all be worth it I totally would. That girl was so brave and I admire her so much. I've been through so many changes in the last year, inside and out, that I can't help but look at pictures of myself and see someone else. Someone who was pretty even if she didn't know it. Someone who had the strength to change her life. I'm so grateful to her. Thank you to the WLS community here for giving me advice and support, direct and indirect. Your posts have helped me and inspired me more than you will ever know!

Watch: When Mitt Romney makes the same points as John Oliver, you know shit’s gone south.

if you told me a few years ago that I’d be reblogging a gifset of Mitt Romney, agreeing with every word he said, I would NOT have believed you.

I hate glamorizing over-working. It’s not healthy. The fact that there are so many people going without sleep, food, personal hygiene (not to mention time for relaxation, personal time, and socialization, which are very necessary for mental health) just to stay afloat is not something to be celebrated or applauded. It’s a problem, not a goal that all good employees should aspire to, or a norm everyone should be expected to perform.
