It is interesting that I saw this on this particular day. 16 years ago this morning I had RNY gastric bypass surgery.

I am making a New Year's Revolution...I refuse to let anyone or anything control my eating. I have gone through too much (gastric bypass 10 years ago next month and plastic surgery to remove excess skin this past year) to allow that to happen. This means I have to take back control over other aspects of my life...easier…
