To be honest, this feels kind of weird. Not of course, unlike many things over the last two years, but writing on this blog feels weird because it’s been so long. What was a project meant to connect with others, got lost in a time where connection, at least of the physical variety was frowned …

The difference between dead and dormant.
I’m off the deep end…It’s beautiful when Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga sing it…it’s not so beautiful when it’s happening in real life. I honestly feel like I’m losing it. Trust me, I know I’m not the only one, but truth be told the crazy set in long before the corona did. The chaos of …
Debut of the Pretty Heavy Stuff Podcast
https://prettyheavystuff.buzzsprout.com Hey everyone, For those of you who have been following my blog, I’ve added a new medium of communication, a podcast! I’m brand new at this so be forgiving because it is far from perfect (the end fades out too quick and I say um too much) but I’m excited to share with you …
Hallmark movies, The House that Built Me, and how I’m dealing (not well) with this church move….
For once, this blog isn’t about weight loss or my efforts, or lack of effort more recently…they’ll be more on that at a later time, and this is admittedly a long post, so I apologize, but I needed to get this out of my system. Most of you in the community know, but for those …
Finish the Race
(This is not a transformation photo, but these photos are a year a part from one another. This is what this post, and me personally, are concerned with today.) We Baptists sing about it all the time, “just a little talk with Jesus”, one morning, not too long ago, I had just that. Kneeling down …
Just for the record…
What I’ve learned lately is that people are passionate about two things their political affiliations and which diet they are prescribing to at the moment (and a lot of other things, but these are the two people are really triggered to come after you for). Keep in mind this isn’t an anti-diet diatribe, but it …
“Cast the net one more time!”- inspiration from an abnormal woman…
In the last six months that I’ve been working at my new job I have met some incredible people, one of those being a stalwart of a human being named Lyne. Lyne is fabulous boss lady, what often seems to be an impenetrable fortress of faith, and other days she just downright feels lousy because …
Still doesn’t mean stagnant.
“Still doesn’t mean stagnant. Let that sink in. I’m talking to you.” This is the little dialogue I’ve been having with the Lord lately. You are deeply and significantly afraid of not making progress. Success for you is measured in monumental accomplishments and captured moments in which everyone can say “look at …
Highway to the Danger Zone
One of the things I’ve noticed about the weight loss surgery community is that there is a lot of information about the initial stages of the journey, encouraging words, stories of incredible first year losses. Except for some reason, there’s a phenomenon where after the year mark the information, tips and tricks, and success stories …
Pictures are worth 1000 words, bad thoughts, and bad effects…or, at least, once upon a time they were.
Every photo was a nightmare, and now only some are. In today’s world when our lives are documented in every way on social media, pictures plagued me. I hated every picture of myself. Spent hours analyzing all the ways in which my choices had led me to become the person in the picture. Now, I …
