Shrinking violets- part 6!!!



Recommended Posts

LOL Laura, I couldn't read it all...I saw something dipped in maple and had to scroll down!

Last night we had the windows open while watching TV (it was 83 yesterday) and my neighbor was bbq'ing...OMG, That was painful!!! I actually felt sick the tummy pains hurt that bad.

Well...TOMORROW MORNING I FIND OUT IF I AM NATIONALLY BOARD CERTIFIED!!! What a long wait this has been. I REALLY NEED SOME PURPLE POWER KIDS! Please keep me in your thoughts. I would love to have this under my belt. There are 5 pieces, and I can pass all or some of them. If it is not all, then I make a quick decision (to try and get the funding) for retaking it!

As if I don't have enough on my mind right now!

Laura, that sounds really good! Maybe your mom can make doughnut pops as her signature item!!

Alright back to bank business. I didn't get it all figured out yesterday, adn I think it will probably take a few days for me to get it all straightened out!!

What is your board certification for? I thought all was done as far as your doctorate?

Oh well, off I go................

OOOO no Jane! That sucks. Last year I paid the gas company twice and then got a shut off notice from the electric company...haha...I am not allowed to pay the bills anymore!

Good luck sorting this out sweetie!

The Nat'l Boards are above and beyond. It is a very prestigious National recognition that would allow me to teach in any state (not that I would ever leave CA).

off to work!

Morning girls~

had a complete meltdown last night. Minimal calories, National Board scores pending, dad's passing 2 yrs ago Sunday, surgery Monday, teaching, having 33 papers to grade this weekend...omg, it is too much. It all hit at once, and I don't have the caloric intake to handle it. Crying now, just thinking about the stress...need to just get through the day.

not much else going on...wish me luck!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
