The difference good friends can make

[citygal 0]

I am less than a week from my surgery and my friends have created a "team" to support me before and after. Although I know some of them are really worried about the fact I have chosen to go to Mexico and go there alone...they are supporting my decision.

One of my friends leads our corporate travel function so she gets all the international security alerts...and Mexico is a level 4....I keep tell her I live in center city Philly and that's probably a 5...LOL

I am grateful they are not throwing some of the judgement and resistance I have read some folks on here have experienced. Interestingly there are a few folks I am choosing not to tell. I am grown woman who has made this decision. If diet and excercise alone could work for me....they would have by now. I need a tool and this weight is killing me...slowly...but it's killing me. So my supportive friends know...and everyone else can wonder what the hell I'm doing as the weight comes off!

I'm excited and ready...

that's awesome citygal!!

and love your international security "connection" : )

I have a friend who's husband is retired FBI - was one of the president's men. When I left the country a year ago to go to Algeria, she was one of the few who knew exactly where I was going ... just in case I needed help getting out!

You will do great! You have an awesome attitude!
