So yesterday I found some old photo albums with high school pics and realized that I will be back at that weight soon and got so excited... back then though, I thought I was huge but now that I look at those pics I see that I looked great...

I just feel so hopeful that I will look and most importantly feel better... I was just diagnosed as diabetic and with high cholesterol last month but I'm sure I have been for a while. I kept putting off going to the doctor and my lab work because I suspected something was wrong with my glucose. But now I have another motivating factor... to lose the weight and flush the new medications down the toilet, lol. I don't plan on taking them after my surgery so I won't refill them...

The high protein/low carb diet is getting easier each day and I know it will all be worth it... I have to much to live for and too much to still do... I started crying last night when I was looking through those pics because I thought of all the years I have been overweight and had low self-esteem... I have been a confident woman for the last few years at my size but I can't wait to see the thinner Jenny again... :thumbdown:
