The other day, Jim said he thought Eilis needed a computer game called “Dance, Dance Revolution”. He thought it only worked on XBOX 360. We have the original XBOX. When I assured him the game was compatible with our system, he said he wasn’t even sure our system worked anymore, since no one has played…

Imagine my surprise this morning when I hopped on the scale, hopped off, and charted my progress. I am exactly half way to where I would eventually like to be 🙂 I’m pretty proud of myself – I have had very few experiences that I would consider negative (although one last night, a punishment…

My father’s family is very mysterious to me. When his father married my grandmother a billion years ago, his family disowned him. My grandfather converted to Catholicism when he decided he wanted to marry Elizabeth O’Brien, because her family wouldn’t let her have him any other way. As a result of him being disowned, aside…

Well, I hopped on the scale this morning, two months since the date of my surgery, and I now weigh 237.5 pounds. Being in the 230’s is a pretty big accomplishment. I haven’t been in this neighborhood since Brighid was a baby. This is not a journey I would recommend to everyone. There are days…

I’ve been incredibly lax in taking my children to Church. If you’ve ever sat through a Catholic Mass with a rambunctious 5 year old and a 1 year old, with no crying room, you’ll understand that getting up and going to Church with the lot of them is not a pleasure. Eilis started kindergarten this…

I was sitting at dinner tonight, eating my small portion of salmon, realizing that Granuaile and I have a lot in common. She was sitting with her plate – a small piece of salmon, half of a baked potato and a small spoon of broccoli, chopped pretty fine. She holds her fork out to you…

For a very long time, I have needed to lose AT LEAST 100 pounds. It was a number that was incredibly overwhelming to me. With every diet I’ve been on, knowing that I was going to lose a pound or two a week made losing 100 pounds seem like something I could never do. Then…

I saw Dr. Nusbaum today for my one month post-op check up. It was a fairly uncomplicated trip up there – since my last two were horrible. The first trip I made up there, I got hopelessly lost and ended up 2 hours late. Last time, we got stuck in traffic, and it took us…

Day One and Two Brighid is planning to spend a week with her grandparents at their home in Florida. An airline ticket is bought, and she is excited and ready to go. And then a terror plot is discovered in the UK that causes chaos at airports all over the country. I am really nervous…

Here’s my complaint of the morning. Protein sucks. Not the kind most of us eat every day – like steak, shrimp, lobster, even eggs – but the kind that healthy people drink to be healthier and people who have had weight loss surgery drink to stay alive. To begin with, as my stomach is still…
