A couple of years ago, I decided I was going to create a blog. A blog that would help me escape from the day-to-day hectic chaos of being a full time paralegal by day, and a full time law student by night. I soon realized, that instead it became a sort of lifestyle/work/school blog, if that makes any sense—with minimal posts in the last couple of years. Well, flash forward to a new year, and so I here I am, still not done with law school, but very happy and healthy.

I had bariatric surgery, completely changed my life around, and have lost 210 pounds. Life is still tough. The human mind is even tougher. I now have a new lifestyle tool—my new stomach—so I don’t crave food like I used to. But, my mind still does. I have come to learn, that my battle with my weight is physical and—DEFENITLEY mental. Food will always be a go to for my brain, but I know that I have complete control of what I put into my body. I always did, but I don’t have such a huge dump tank to fill up—that is also accompanied by huge hunger pains—and a voice that says, “Feed Me Leo!” LOL! It sounds mean to call my old stomach a dump tank, but it really was.

I now have the ability to not feel so darn hungry, eat small meals, and have a normal and average daily calorie intake. Something else weight loss has taught me, is that, I am still exhausted after work, and I still find it hard to study. SMH 🤦🏻‍♂️! Sure my weight made me physically tired by the end of my day, but my brain gets tired too. And here I am again, venting about how exhausted I am with juggling life and my pseudo-student-life. LOL! I guess beggars really can be choosy. I took a hiatus from school, and that felt nice, but I started studying again, so I found myself with the need to blog—go figure right?

So, I bid you all adieu—until next time. Thanks for taking the time to read my shenanigans.
