Finding a Reason to Smile Again

I had lost my inner peace and happiness, a reason to smile so-to-speak. I don’t mean that I walked around never cracking a smile. Obviously there were good days and social situations in which I chatted away and laughed along. By losing a reason to smile, I mean losing confidence in life and in myself. […]

I Lost a Lot of “Weight” with Meditation

Is meditation just New Age mumbo-jumbo? Hardly. Meditation, nearly as old as humanity, always has been part of Eastern religions. Through meditation, we learn mindfulness, which focuses on self-empowerment through increasing awareness of being in the present moment. This enables us to overcome matters that stress us. “It’s not the events of our lives that […]

Frozen Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Protein Latte

Lately, I am indulging in a deep rich coffeehouse-style protein latte with long-lasting energy and no stomach upset! I LOVE frozen coffee drinks. But I gave up on them owing to the irritation that coffee causes my gut.  Until now… I’m so excited to share my NEW recipe for Frozen Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel […]

And the good news is there is an excellent exercise for a smaller waist. It’s called isometric contraction and according to BodyBuilding.com it is one of the best exercises we can do. […]

My Beginner Sprinting – Walking Intervals for Fast Fat Loss

I alternate days between my ab circuit workout and high-intensity sprinting walking interval training. Sprinting is a high-intensity short-duration movement at the highest speed you can safely muster. It’s fun. It’s easy. You go at your own pace. And it’s great for fast fat loss. …two minutes of intensity equals 30 minutes of steady-state exercise… Increase Metabolism, […]

My Facelift after Weight Loss and Looking Slightly Inhuman

Be prepared. If you get a facelift by a facial plastic surgeon s/he is likely to do a whole lot more to maximize the improvements to your facelift after weight loss than a bariatric plastic surgeon is able to do. Thusly this extensive amount of work might leave you looking slightly inhuman for a week […]

Burn Calories as I Row, Row, Row My Way to Fitness

Not long after my gastric bypass surgery, my husband and I went on a day trip to Boat House Row in Philadelphia. The boat houses were filled with the shells that the rowers practiced with and competed in. We watched practice runs that were taking place on the river. I was impressed by the long, thin shells […]

November is traditionally a time to give deeper consideration for all that which we have to be thankful. And I am thankful for massive weight loss because it has given me back my health and my life. Before my gastric bypass in 2003, I had cycled through obesity, anorexia, binge eating disorder, bulimia, and finally morbid obesity. […]

My Acne Treatment Regimen

Skin changes after bariatric surgery and many patients suffer acne and other dermatoses. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) say dermatological complications can be caused by metabolic and nutritional disorders, especially in malabsorptive procedures. Symptoms including constipation, inflammation, and hormone imbalances go hand-in-hand with acne flare-ups on the skin’s surface, as skin is a reflection […]

You may wonder what an acne facial has to do with bariatric surgery. There is a link between acne, constipation, and hormone imbalance. And constipation and hormone imbalance are linked to obesity and bariatric surgery. So, you may one day find your adult face inexplicably covered in acne, as I did.

Back in December 2013, Dr. Winslow (Winslow Facial Plastic Surgery) did an incredible job of removing all of my sagging excess skin. She truly took 15-years off my face. Then in December 2014, I underwent a few minor procedures to further enhance my results. I underwent […]

My Battle with Iron Deficiency Anemia

The daily hustle and bustle was tiring in and of itself. Throw in the holiday season, complete with a family visit that included my high-energy 2-year-old granddaughter, and I was not at all surprised at just how exhausted I was feeling. Later I would learn this was the beginning of my battle with iron deficiency anemia.

Why Get Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss?

My editor at Health Central Obesity asked if I wanted to write about the stigma associated with having plastic surgery after weight loss. Specifically, she was referring to my face lift. I replied, “What is the stigma?” I had never heard of this. She explained, “Many people judge those who underwent facelifts and view them […]

Someone told me that you do not buy a procedure, you buy a plastic surgeon (Read: 18 Insider Tips on Plastic Surgery). I completely get that.

A powder room was redone with a swirling red-and-white wallpaper to mirror the pops of red throughout the rest of the house and filled with burnished brass and gilded furniture topped with classical white objects d'arte in bright whites for a subtle contrast. See fine-jewelry designer Elizabeth Locke's full home tour in "A Stunning Estate with Southern Grace and Italian Romance" over on our Style Guide!Warm orange and creamy white bathroom with white countertop. Gorgeous.I like to use the color Red to warm up a room. Red Parrot from Benjamin Moore was perfect for this master bath in an urban townhouse. I particularly liked the contrast with the cool Calacutta marble and the white Empire soaking tub from Waterworks.  Red Parrot is a particular favorite of mine because the claret undertone softens what can be percieved as a strong color.
