My Journey Begins



Recommended Posts

It seems to have taken me so long to get where I'm at in this process of self-discovery and improvement. From my first date meeting my doctor in May 2010, then on to the nutritionist, exercise physiologist, weigh-ins and my insurance approval in October 2010, this experience has been eye-opening. It took me months to go to my first appointment in May, finally admitting I need help. By posting this, I feel like I've exposed my achilles' heel to the world - my greatest weakness and failure of trying to do something on my own...lose weight, when my siblings don't have this problem. Why me? Perhaps it's a question which will never be answered. All I can say is "it's time for me to take care of myself"! Since I have a confirmed surgery date (11/30/10), I'm beginning to look forward to my new future.

Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm hoping my 2 weeks prior to surgery go by quickly. I'll be fasting right during Thanksgiving, so if I can handle that, surgery will be simple!
