Hey There all!!

I am having surgery November 15 and I am currently still in school. Surgery will be close to the end of the semester, however, I will still have a few weeks of school left. All those who have had surgery any advise for me? What can I expect? I'm kind of nervous, and I really don't like pain. I was thinking about taking a week off to heal.

This has been a long time coming. I finally decided to take control of my life and invest in myself. I'm going to document this so you all can see my journey. Life can be relatively hard being a large person. I feel as though my weight holds me back from doing a lot of the things I want in life. Things like being able to run and do activities for a period of time with out getting tired quickly. Have you ever wished that instead of being behind the pack you could run up front or alongside of them? I do all the time. How bout looking in the mirror while trying on a really cute dress you like only to realize it doesn't look as cute on you as it did on the manikin? Yup.

The real reason as to why i'm doing this isn't just to look better or to run faster, but more so to feel better about myself. I need a change in my life. I couldn't keep doing the same thing and feeling the same way. I was going insane. Hopefully, this journey will give me the courage to do the things i've always wanted and to be the person i've always wanted to be. I feel that by taking this plung, I will be giving myself options that i never had before. Wish me luck! Can't wait to hear all of your feedback!! Toodles.
