A journey to weight loss surgery, or not

Posted on January 17, 2022 by Sarah

Backwards. Forwards. Backwards. Forwards. Backwards. Forwards. Do I. Don’t I. Do I. Don’t I. The pendulum of thoughts leave tired, worn tracks across my mind. I am so tired. I’m a big woman. I never wanted to admit that. In a world that idolises the skinny, I never wanted to face my reality. I can…

DEAR DIARY {WEIGHTLOSS CHRONICLES #3}

Posted on February 11, 2015 by Sarah

Dear Diary It is nearly mid way through February and I had almost forgotten about my word for 2015 being Health.  Well, actually, perhaps it wasn’t so much forgotten as ignored. On January 1st I weighed a staggering 107 kilograms.  I wept. So my word for the year became HEALTH.  That encompassed mental health, but…

Operation Sarah is a go

Posted on November 2, 2014 by Sarah

I have never been one for self improvement of the body. It’s true. Now self improvement of the mind, that I could sink my teeth into. But body improvement?  Not for me. Of course, this stance was just a guise for “I can’t be arsed to move my body”.  And this attitude led to me…

Alzheimer’s Attack

Posted on July 23, 2013 by Sarah

I am alone again tonight.  Dee is still in France doing his Tour de France thing.  As I settle down he isn’t far from my thoughts.  I still think he is crazy.  I mean, who in their right minds cycles 100 kilometers a day for 12 solid days.  It defies understanding.  Well, my understanding anyway….

Posted on July 11, 2013 by Sarah

The phone rings.  I am still in bed, but very much awake. I look at the clock.  10am.  My second lie-in this week.  God, I love school holidays. Hello? Hi Sarah, this is Bee, from the Life! Program? Oh damn, I had forgotten about this.  I meant to phone and cancel. Oh yes.  How are…

Insanity vs Sanity – Monday 14 May – 32 weeks and 2 days

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Sarah

Dee has to go to work early and wakes me at 5:30am to remind me to get JC up for school at 6:10am.  I grunt my acknowledgement and tell myself that 7:15am will suffice.  Dee leaves and my brain starts ticking over.  I am reminded of that saying that says the definition of insanity is…

Change has to happen – Wednesday 9 May – 31 weeks and 4 days

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Sarah

Life is returning to some form of normality.  Well, as normal a life as I am able to muster.  Jay has been told that she will now more than likely reach 34 weeks or beyond, and has decided to return home.  Whilst I miss the company, I am happy about this.  I need space.  Time…
