@the-thinkingcat Maesie had her remaining teeth extracted today, and found a comfy place to hide when she got home. But she’s already decided that hunting birds through the window is more important than hiding.

There is peace once you break up with your scale and realize a number does not define your success. There is confidence in the new you who will propel you to new heights. There is life……There is life after this surgery.
Despite my many challenges, a surgery related near death experience…..Hair loss, extra skin…..An ended engagement and a variety of relationships post surgery…..My life now is better than it has ever been.
I guess what I’m trying to say is…..For anyone just starting out or who is stuck or just sad/regretful, as I was on many occasions……This will pass, and you will achieve the success you are striving for.
