Humbling Moment
Well I DID disclaimer!
But seriously the thing that gets me is Ellen is so UPBEAT!
I think I've thought of a way to celebrate her too. I want to get a team together of my fellow support group members to do a 5k together and be "Team Ellen." Maybe have a button made to wear and have t-shirts that say Team Ellen. I think she'll like that. I am gonna run the idea past her to see what she says.
And she actually laughed at me the other day cuz she said it tickles her to see posts about my eating adventures. Her RNY was reversed so she can eat as much as she wants now. Because so much of her digestive system is damaged, though, she doesn't absorb calories/nutrients from food. She said "If it weren't for being tired so much, I'd love this life! I can eat as much as I want and not gain a thing!"
That's just her spirit. To look up, not down.
