Half Assed*
It’s been a little over 13 months since I had gastric bypass. I’ve lost 135lbs and sometimes I forget exactly how much weight that is. Yes, these are actual pants that I used to wear. Can you believe it?


* I’ve been planning this post and title for more than a year. It feels SO GOOD to actually post it!
