Cleosan52 6 Posted October 25, 2010 Ready, set... Well, the time has finally came. This is the day that God has decreed in my life, and I am walking in it. Psalm 118:24 This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. I got the kids packed to stay with my parents, and I'm packed for the hospital. My sister is great, she had a bonfire tonight with the immediate family to "take my mind off things". We gathered around and prayed together. And now I'm off with hubby (left the kids with my mom), we have to be at the hospital at 5am and surgery is schedule for 7am. When I wake up, I will be headed to the losers bench for once and for all. Oct 25th is a new day for me, it's the first day of my new life. I am not naive to think that magically I will lose all my weight and life will be all hunky-dory. What I know is, I am given a new chance, a new "tool" that can "help" me keep my weight off. Ultimately, I am in control of what I put in my mouth and how I use this tool in the future. I just thank God that I have the opportunity to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
