I've decided that this is MY year to make a difference in my OWN life...not for my husband, children, mother...only ME.The understanding that I personally put on the weight is allowing me to take full ownership of my obesity. Though the stress of life in general may be a contributing factor, I still take ownership because I could have chosen to handle life and not let life handle me.

My consultation with the nutritionist blew my mind because I never realized how much extra strain I was putting on my limbs...I must give them better treatment. It was certainly encouraging to hear the nutritionist say that I initially must focus on the numbers on scale and then transition to percentage once the weight started decreasing. I would ALWAYS make the mistake of focusing on numbers which now is obvious why obesity is a yo-yo factor...NEVER stay fixed on the number. My EGD has been completed so that's another checkmark added to my checklist.

Surgery is scheduled for April 18th and I now have excitement overload. My first hurdle will now be the 2wk pre-op diet that I will start on April 3rd...but I'm confident that I WILL succeed
