Vote For Joe

It’s that time of year again… elections are full swing, no… I’m not getting political here. I’m talking about the 2011 WLS Awards, started last year by Diva Taunia, and according to the Diva, the WLS Awards are – “Dedicated to celebrating those making a difference in the WLS Community.”

Vote For Joe

And yea, I’ve been lucky enough to be nominated again, this year under Favorite OVERALL WLS DUDE along side Travis (Token) Waddell (btw, thnks for the props dude) and Reinventing Ed.

If you want more information on the whole deal… head over here – you’ll be able to hear the archive of the Diva Taunia show where we announced the nominees, get a link to the voting form and much, much.. well, not a lot more, but more. There’s more categories this year, and besides some of the expected names (eggface, melting mama, BTV, etc) you’ll see some well deserved new names this year (andrea, rachel, patrina). So go check out the full listing and vote!

And yea, it would be kinda kewl if you voted for me… but really, this truly is one of those things where it’s just nice to be recognized. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to down-play this… cause I do appreciate the efforts of whoever it was that got me nominated in the first place… Well, maybe I’ll put it this way. Being nominated is like the cherry on my sundae of life these days. Actually winning would be like getting an extra cherry, and maybe some candy sprinkles to boot.

Anyways, go check it out. And while I don’t think most of us are out here doing this for the recognition… this is a good way to let some of these folks know that what they’re doing out there doesn’t go unnoticed and is appreciated. You have until October 28 to cast your vote, with the winners announced November 7… but why wait? Get going!

About Rob

I had RNY Gastric Bypass on April 8, 2009. I went from my heaviest of over 380 down to a low of 188 (for about a day!) before working on rebuilding muscle and such. Now I maintain at about 205. WLS has changed my life in so many ways, including my career as I now tackle nutritional coaching and other obesity education issues.
