It’s A Big Secret!

How many times, days and years have I done laundry for my family. You separate it all out by colors, start the first load and then proceed with it all day until it’s done. I always did whites last, why you ask. Well I didn’t like doing the whites because there was always those socks. You know the ones that had NO match. You look every where and no sock is to be found.

In total 13lbs of skin was removed. Insane to think about. I knew it was a lot every time I tried to run, walk or cycle I felt it weighing me down. Even though I’m extremely swollen tonight I can still...
