This is our fight.

First blog dedicated to Weight Loss Surgery for teenagers. To my knowledge it's still the only one! We're also dedicated to teaching/spreading awareness about childhood obesity, metabolic conditions/diseases, healthy lifestyles, and anything in-between. (Started in May 2011)

Rants

(Mostly rants.. Or just me talking nonsense. Emotional posts. Whatever. Nothing about this journey is simple. For me or anyone else. Not one aspect of it is easy by any means, and no one should ever be put under the impression that surgery will fix everything.)

What is today, but yesterday's tomorrow?

It's been awhile, hasn't it? 

There is more than one way to go about everything. (Weight Loss)

Weight Gain. Frustration. Confusion.

Why is it so hard to find proper motivation?

No weight loss, stupid medications, frustrated with doctors.
