Congrats Noriko. I am sure it will take some getting used to your "new body" and a "new normal" that will be developing this year. Like others who commented, I appreciate being able to read and being a small part of the journey. Thank you for taking the time to share. Take care of your self !

WONDERFUL!! Thank you so much for sharing!

Another, Yay!, and Congratulations, Noriko. Thank you for your candor and for keeping it real. It's "over" but not over. Lifestyle changes can be HARD! Good luck with preserving your energy. We love standup comedy, too! I'll have to send you some of our favs! Hope to see you SOON.

Thank you so much Noriko, for these wonderful posts. Because of you, I am taking much better care of myself, and these posts are the best reminder to be gentle with myself, have fun, and accept the good days and bad days with grace and gratitude. Much love to you and family! We miss you.

Yay, Noriko! Congrats on finishing the gauntlet! You are amazing and continue to inspire me. ❤️
