Hi,
I am 49 years old and a widow. I have always struggled with my weight but I put on a lot of weight after my husband passed away and it has been this way for 7 years. Of course we all know it causes medical problems and I am feeling it. It is very hard for me to enjoy life the way I want to.
I have had to quit doing things I like. I love to dance to country music. That is really out of the question. I can't work in my flower garden anymore. I am an artist and don't even draw anymore. I enjoy reading and I am doing more of that and I love doing computer graphics and talking online.
I have set a goal for myself. By the time I am 50 in August of 2006 I will be planning dance lesson to learn how to line dance and I am even thinking about ballroom dancing. I love music and enjoy smiling a lot. Every day is a blessing to me. I feel very blessed to have what I have in life especially my grown sons ages 21 and 24.
I am looking forward to spending quality time with my family and friends. Thanks to all of you that have supported me as I plan and prepare for my surgery. It means a lot to me.
God bless all of you that are headed for surgery and may He give you His strength to endure the recovery with little or no complications until you can enjoy the benefits.
