Feeling even more determined.

[mp8btpc 33]

:svengo:Well after the weekend I spent in San Diego I am even more determined to have the surgery and lose weight. First off I went because my mother who is 54 and my cousin who is two years younger then myself, were running the Rock and Roll Marathon with 25,000 other people. YES 25k people running in this race! I was surrounded by a ton of tough fit people and felt like a big giant porker and the thing is I know it is my own fault and that is what sucks. The girls did great by the way, so proud of them both.

We stayed at the Marriott Resort and Marina which was gorgeous and had a ton of business people and they hosted a charity benefit where the men were in suits and the women in formal dresses. The people were beautiful. Fitness guru Denise Austin was in the main lobby as I walked through yesterday (a concierge I was chatting with pointed her out) she looked amazing in person with GREAT LEGS.

Anyways I am rambling, it is time to stop feeling like a failure for not conquering my weight issues and GET ER DONE!

Sorry for the rant. It was a long self conscious weekend. :001_tt2:

Don't apologise for the rant - thats what we are here for....I think we've all been in similar situations, so can all identify with your feelings. Its a brilliant incentive for you tho - perhaps next year you'll be running with them - you never know!!

Chin up!

Wish you a speedy recovery, Sparkle. I'm on my fourth day and feeling pretty darn good. A bit bloated because of all this chicken broth, but I know I'm losing weight every day because that's all I'm taking in.
