Hello!

My name is Emily and I am on a journey to reach a “normal” weight. I’m using this blog to track my progress, thoughts, and struggles throughout the process, including my experience with a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. Welcome!

A few notes on the layout:

Welcome – That’s the page you’re on now. Just an intro and some info, subject to change as applicable.

Blog – My thoughts and musings, in chronological order from newest to oldest.

Stats – A graph of my weight over the years.

Pics – 95% of the reason we come to weight loss blogs is for the progress pictures. Thought I’d make mine nice and easy for you to find.

Tips & Tricks – For those considering weight loss surgery, these are the things I’ve learned, all summed up nice and neat.

If you have any comments or questions please leave them on the blog and I’ll be happy to respond. Or, you can email me at emily@urbanebear.com and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Thanks for visiting!
