Today, i'm combining two different books. And they're not very far from each other. It's Why We eat (too much) by Dr Andrew Jenkinson and Midnight Chicken by Ella Risbridger.

Starting with Why We Eat, you would think it's gonna be judgemental but it's not the case. Dr Jenkinson is a consultant in bariatric surgery, an invasive procedure that cuts the size of the stomach in order to decrease the appetite (by decreasing hunger hormones). But apparently, it's only a short term solution for obesity, because there is a more powerful physiological boss who wins in controlling appetite. The hypothalamus. That's the neuroendocrine gland in your brain. And it has a tight relationship with fat tissue through a messenger called Leptin. All human beings have this hormone that signals to the hypothalamus how much fat (which is a vital source of energy) is stored in the tissues and exerts a negative feedback on it. If there is high level of Leptin (energy fuel tank is full), Hypo keeps you satiated and amps up your metabolism, and vice-versa. So you don't even need to exercise to burn calories. That stands for healthy people. In obese people, there is a huge amount of Leptin but the boss doesn't acknowledge it. It's called Leptin resistance. So to Hypo, there's no Leptin hence feeling ravenous hunger to further fill the tank. That's how hard it is for obese people to stop eating. They don't have a choice. How did they get obese in the first place, you say? Genetics mostly, then environment, then Western food (you'll need to read to know more).

Where does this Leptin-Hypothalamus dysfonction comes from? Two things: High insulin level in the blood by eating high-sugar foods and TNF-alpha, an inflammatory substance made by immune cells as a result of fat tissue cells getting bigger with stored energy, which has effects on vessels (heart disease), articulations (arthritis), cells (cancer) and, you guessed it, the hypothalamus while neutralising the effect of insulin thus creating more of it, which perpetuates fat tissue formation.

So, how can we solve this? First, no dieting. The human body evolution process made sure that it stays alive, so in period of shortage or famine through time, the hypothalamus elevates its equilibrium level (called weight set-point) so that the human being eats more, stores more energy and prevents future energy depletion. Dieting emulates a famine-like state to the brain. You surely lose weight for a few months but you gain more of it when the boss wins over, even more than the pre-diet weight. So, no harsh restriction of food, but minding what kind of food you're eating. For Dr. Jenkinson, the only thing you need to decrease is refined suga, not cholesterol (studies on how cholesterol is dangerous for the heart were biased and funded by sugar companies), to try to get rid of wheat, nuts and vegetal oils because they're rich in Omega-6 which is not the omega we need. Omega-3 is the one we need the most. We can get it from vegetables, meats, eggs and dairy products from grass-fed cows, lambs and chicken, and sea based fish. So it's not about how much you eat, but what kind.

At the end of the book, he gives a few steps to help you regain your normal weight-set point regarding food, exercise, sleep and stress management while also managing your expectations on how quick and drastic your weight loss will be.

It's a well written book. A tad long, but interesting to read.

Andrew insists throughout the book on how important home cooking is. How it's a community driven activity since the discovery of fire. And in order to commit on your weight equilibrium journey, you need to enjoy the process, and cooking yourself is one of those pleasures. For cooking newbies like me, cook books are a must. Not just any books, but the relatable, cut-to-the-chase, no-bullshit, easy-to-follow ones. I discovered one of these and it's a gem.

Ella is a funny one. And this is an unusual cook book that you can read just for leisure time. Being a cooking-for-dummies kind of book is a bonus.

And the thing that makes this book special is how cooking was sort of salvation for Ella going through her bad bouts of depression. Having anxiety, i got how she felt and i understood how helpful this book would be to a lot of lost people. First, she gives a brief list on what utensils and staples you need in your kitchen, with no fuss. Then she gives some recipes relating to times of her life and mental health moments.

I have to admit that not all her recipes were for me, but i enjoyed every little bit of sunshine she threw in them. They're written like essays, not like your usual cookie-cutter books, so it makes them easy and lovely to grasp. A beautiful heartwarming book.

Im feeling very unmotivated.

I have definetly gained weight during quaratine. I have gotten back to the gym but I’m still feeling bad about weight loss.

Ive been trying to be better about snacking and making healthy meals (god bless Hello Fresh) but idk what else to be doing?

Anyone else feeling the struggle?

Just taking care of me 😜 thanks @nailsbytammy1991 # #bariatricsurgery #gasticsleevesurgery #gasticsleevelife #gasticsleevesupport #bariatriccommunity #bariatricbabes #bariatricfood #bariatricjourney #bariatriclife #shebougie #gasticsleevepostop #gasticsleevestories #gasticsleeverevision #nails💅 #nailsoftheday #nailsofinstagram #nailart #naildesigns https://www.instagram.com/p/CHVgr9nHseb/?igshid=1odmsz20iv5nb

December 2018 / June 2020

This is me. Late January of 2020, in Flint, heading to a girlfriends home for her birthday celebration! I dressed up. Did some make-up, some hair, falling limp to the damp, mild winter air, but all in all, I am happy. I am happy in general. My work is consistent. My kids are working and doing things they love. My fibromyalgia seems to be controlled.  SSttilll, on Zoosk, the dating app this 6 months and my therapist is booking one month appointments for me now. Things are as good as I can make them be for today. 

Everyday I wonder what is coming down the road, just like every other human! No matter how many days you get to try to “get it right”, it never seems to all fall into place quite right, does it? 

This blog is going to be about my “Steps” forward and inevitably, backwards. Maybe sides ways. Most definitely hopscotch diagonally, backwards I am sure, as I fully commit to the idea that I need this level of help to heal from this disease, obesity. And YES, it is a disease. So, grab your water bottle, lace up your shoes and buckle in, my curious new friend! This ride promises to be moving non stop!! -Go Team Pesta (Proper intros to come!)

Welcome to my blog! Thanks so much for stopping by. So, after battling with my weight my entire life, I've finally made the decision to go ahead with weight loss surgery (the sleeve gastrectomy)! Eek! 😬 It's been a huge decision, and one I've been thinking about for years after watching numerous friends journeys. My procedure is booked in just 6 weeks time! It's happening a lot faster than I thought it would, given everything happening with COVID-19. I've been looking up & following other people's journeys to see what I should expect & to get advice and support. It's also really cool to see people's photos along the way. So I thought I'd do the same thing. So in coming days & weeks I'll be posting before photos & how I'm preparing for this life-changing event. Thanks for your support ❤

ahh the good old starting weight! In this picture I believe I weigh around 290. This was taken December 19 2019 and currently I am now 277 and decreasing! We are in this together! Let me know if you or someone you know has had or is having bariatric surgery!

A good Ol before and after 🤭 less than 2 years ago vs today. So far, in the past 6 months I’ve lost 75 lbs and I couldn’t be happier 🥰

Jan 22. 2019 I made the best decision of my life and had VSG, a bariatric surgery for weight loss. Now almost 8 months later I'm a 100 pounds down and in the best shape and health of my life minus one thing. For 33 years I had one thing going for me, I was a natural red head with amazing thick long hair. Of course I hated the attention when I was younger, hated how everyone commented on it and now I would love nothing more than to have those comments again. 

One of the main side effects from bariatric surgery is hair loss and I was unfortunate enough to have that as my major side effects. Now 8 months post OP my hair isnt growing, its thinning out and even balding in places. I have been taking vitamins to help growth. I've tried every home remedy, every shampoo and gone down every road except one and that's hair extensions.  

So here is where I am. I'm a mom of three amazing kids and like any mom any extra income goes towards the family. I'm asking for your help, any little bit is to help me get back confidence I once had. The plan for funding is for hair extentions that are tied in which will last six months, maintence and overall care towards having back hair that will go with this body I've worked so hard to get.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for helping.
