So my date for the surgery is Jan 23rd. Less than 10 days away! I am so excited!!!

Ive been thinking so much lately about all the things I will be able to do after I get some of this weight off of me. You know, ive been overweight since my daughter was born 6 years ago and I feel like I have missed out on doing so many things with her already. She always wants to go out and do things with me like sledding of going to the park but im always to tired or lazy. Well not anymore:thumbup:. I am going to lose some weight and start living life with my daughter. Im going to take her skiing, sledding, bike riding, and many more places. Im tired of her going to her dads for the weekend and then coming home to tell me how much fun he is :tounge_smile:. Well, like I said.....that is soon to be the past!!!!!!:thumbup:

I cant wait for my new life!!!
