I realized that I was going down hill when I went camping with my Hubby in Colorado in Rocky Mountains. The first thing that happened was I sat down in a folding chair and it collapsed under me. Then I was so up set I went into the tent to rest I sat down and the Cot and it also collapsed under me. I sat down in a hard plastic chair but my butt was too wide and it hurt to sit. I then wanted to walk to the edge of the meadow and I couldn't hardly breath. That is when I had a total break down and told my hubby that I needed extra help like surgery and that if I did not lose this weight I was going to kill my self. I meant it too. When we got back to Phoenix, I found a place to have my surgery done. I do not have health insurance because I am 100% covered my the VET AFFIARS HOSPITAL. They do not pay for this surgery. So on my birthday I called USAA and asked them for a 15,000.00 loan to save my life with weight loss. When in 3 Min's I was approved. My husband and I signed the paperwork and it was done. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! I called TRUE RESULTS and had my surgery date with in 1 month. On Sept 4, 2008 my life was changed FOREVER. Now I am 3 months shy of my 1 year anniversary from my surgery and I have lost 57 pounds. Now I work out 3 times a week doing water fitness. I LOVE IT!!! I know I will lose over a 100 and some pounds by my second anniversary. I am so happy and I LOVE TO LIVE!!! I am getting on a Plane for the first time since my surgery in a few weeks. I am nervous because the last time I sat in a seat I didn't fit. I hope that is different. The last time I flew I sat in a seat that was so small I cried the whole flight because I was in pain. This is one of the most important events in my life is to lose this crapy weight and keep it off. The quality of life is so much better and I am happy again! I FEEL SEXY FOR MY HUBBY EVERYDAY! I am confident about myself! I AM ALIVE!
