Bariatric Bad Girl

So Melting Mama started a FB page for Bariatric Bad Girls (and Boys) and I'm loving it!!! I love what she said about the "bad girls"

"It's not about breaking rules. It's not eating badly. In fact, most of the BBGC girls (and boys!) are rule-followers, go figure. We simply want long-term weight loss surgery success and happiness, for everyone, regardless of starting point, or RE-starting point. We are all equal, we are all human, we all make mistakes, and nobody is perfect."

This is so true! I call myself a lazy girl about my WLS but the truth is I am far from lazy when it comes to my life after WLS. I am diligent about getting in my protein and I am aware of what I am doing. I may not make the best choices all the time but I am leaps and bounds ahead of where I was 2 years ago. I think the point of the Bad Girls and what I am trying to do in my own life is finding a way to be ourselves with our WLS. I don't want to be defined by a surgery I had. I am thankful beyond words that I got to have this surgery and lose 120 lbs in 10 months but I refuse to live my life a slave to the crazy over the top "rules" given to me by my nut! I do the essentials (take my vitamins and get in my protein) and I don't sweat the small stuff. Thanks Melting Mama for the breath of fresh air in the WLS world!!!!
