I have a big mouth and decided that if I was going to do this I was going to be proud of it and make it an educational thing rather than something to be ashamed of. In the beginning I only told a few people when I was first thinking about it. Now....heck the world knows. I was just banded yesterday 10/19/10. I currently blog about the journey and post updates on facebook. I have really gotten alot of support. Sure I have gotten a few are you sure this is the only way but an overwhelming response of support. I have so many people who want to be my new walking partner heck one of my friends offered to run my first 5k with me. I told him lets get walking first! Each person has to do what is right for them but I thrive on support and thankful for my supportive friends and family!
