About Me
Surviving Weight Loss Surgery – My personal experience with multiple bariatric surgery procedures beginning with a failed Gastric Band and revision to a Gastric Bypass (RNY August 2006 at 400 lbs). I've been blogging EVERY DAY for over 3 years about healing after a lifetime of suffering from a severe binge eating disorder, morbid obesity, yo-yo dieting, adrenal fatigue and depression............................................. In my struggle to be well inside and out I am discovering REAL FOOD, nourishing habits and the mind body connection. I've learned the hard way that health is not a "result" of weight loss, rather fat loss happens naturally when we take care of our health! ..............Lisa holds two Master’s degrees: an M.T.S. in Theological Studies (Drew University, 2002) and an M.A. in Counseling and Human Services (Montclair State, 2006). She earned her B.A. in Philosophy, from MSU in 2000. Lisa is a professor of religion, psychology, women's studies and philosophy, a certified hypnotist, peer support group facilitator, public speaker on topics ranging from health and nutrition to spirituality and eating disorder recovery.
You've successfully slain the dragon! How will you toast your marshmallows?
By roasting the dragon! Mmmmm, dragon meat.
