48hrs and counting...

In 48 hours my surgery will be over with and I will hopefully be in lala land. During the past several weeks the doubts have crept in, but I continued to remind myself how many times I have started the WL journey and failed. THIS IS IT! I know the journey that lies ahead will be chalked full of its ups and downs. This time I will prevail. I will come here for support, seek counseling, make my appointments, move more, eat less, log foods, and finish what I started for the first time in my life. I will no longer be the kid that was teased, the high schooler that came home crying daily, the adolescent with no friends, the adult who has no confidence, the person who takes care of every one else and not herself. I will achieve the following goals: quit smoking, get to a normal A1C level, get off blood pressure pills, walk a marathon/ race, develop new healthy relationships, get to onederland ( for the first time since 5th grade), wear high heels again, be able to cross my legs ( this will be huge), feel confident in my clothes and my own skin ( is a bathing suit asking too much to ask? LOL!), go to Africa, recommit to my partner or get the balls to leave, and GET CONTROL OF MY LIFE. This is for me and no one else. When times get tough I will remember this is the decision I made and not to blame others for failure in my life. This is my journey. I have the power to change the future trajectory of my life.

Congrats. Welcome to the bench

OMG, you are singing my song and I feel like you know so much about me, that is exactly how I feel and I could not have said it better.  I will be having WLS on the 10th.  "we can do this". Go luck and I look forward to hearing how you are doing.

*Good Luck.

 

Those are quite some goals you've set for yourself!  And I have no doubt that you'll be able to accomplish each and every one of them in the new year.
