Default I guess this could be considered a WOW
I have just been feeling so good about myself lately. When I was 378 lbs, besides showering, I really didn't care too much about what I looked like or how I dressed, everything was too small anyway, and there was just not a way to cover the fat. I realized I've only lost 59 lbs, but I feel like a whole new person, and I am caring about myself again!

Today, while at the mall, I peirced my ears, totally didn't plan on it, but passed the booth and just did it! At my heaviest earings didn't even appeal to me, why would I want to put an earing in when chances are people wouldn't even see far enough past my fat to even see them. Today I didn't feel that way, I felt pretty and wanted to look it too!!!

I have 2 weeks before I go back to work and I'm going to get my hair cut and dyed before I go back, I'm also gonna pick up a little makeup, I want to look good when I go back to work!!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

It is amazing how one change can cause a whole cascade of other changes. Go for it and keep up the good work.

Good for you Lisa!! I know exactly how you feel! I have gotten a couple of unplanned piercings since my surgery too. Just something inside of me wanted to branch out and do something to show my new level of confidence or something.... I don't know what it was, but I understand how you feel.

Congrats on the new you! And I think that doing the whole makeover before returning to work is a great idea. You'll feel as great as you look and it's going to really show in your attitude!

And just think... this is just the beginning!
