When I said last week my life was going to change! Wow! not like it will tomorrow! Banding day! Im so excited and nervous and can't sleep! I've been overweight since I was 11 and can't wait to see the person I know I can be! And want to be! I want to hike without running out of breath, wear normal size clothes, not have my little girl say "you're fat". Just how kids are, they say it like it is! I will be strong! For her and for myself! Just her and I will get through this time of adjustment in my life! YEE HAH!!!

Iam so excited for you. Keep us posted. I have to tell you a story about my son since you mentioned how honest kids are. This was yrs ago and my son was prob 4-5 yrs old. He loves his hair spiked and he was standing on the toilet and I was putting gel in his hair at the tips making it stand up. I noticed that his lil eyes went to the side of his face and they were starring at my flabby arm moving all over and he rolls his eyes back in front and looks me in the eyes with this big smile and says I will hold it for you mom and he put 3 lil fingers on my fat arm to stop it from being jiggly. LOLOL I still crack up. I went on a diet that day and lost 42 lbs over the next 2 yrs. I gained 30 of it back and was banded 3 wks ago. I have 72 lbs to go. I have lost 13 lbs so far. He was just doing mom a favor.

Keep us posted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
