Many ladies born in an arena of bold, existing larger than life literally, are forced to somehow reconcile with the voice within that emphatically demands to exist as the person on the outside. After many years of trials, tribulations of living as a bug, Tall, women, in 2010 begins my journey into meeting the children within. Please join me on my age of discovery of My true self. Hold up..... I'm coming.

Great review?

Hi there, welcome and thanks for sharing your journey with us.

Your after pics look great, you've obviously worked hard to lose the weight! How much weight did you lose?

How was the surgery and recovery for you? Did you have much pain and downtime following surgery?

Awesome, sounds like you have it all planned out! Having your iPhone set makes lots of sense, you'll never miss a mealtime and hopefully then won't get too hungry and overeat!

Glad you're doing so well!
