Then my journal will officially start. Reminding myself on why I decided to have bariatric weight loss surgery. My health#1,too live longer without the fear of leaving my loved ones too soon,too finally get into those jeans I've had in the closet for years, to be able to run and play with my grandkids and to look good! I love myself enough to do this for me!

Good Luck Granny. You're starting the week off with one of the biggest decisions of your life.

My week too (12/11), and I'm getting really nervous.

I think all of us with our surgery dates this week (I'm on the 10th) are both getting nervous and doing a lot of thinking right now. About how we got here and about what the future is about to bring us. I have decided that I will use the things that brought me here as life lessons (hopefully) learned. To take the positive and carry it forward and leave the negative behind. Not forget it but to learn from it and forgive myself for it.

As for the future, beyond the nerves, I'm getting excited! As my GYN told me earlier this year when I told her I was having WLS, I'm taking my health back. Not many people will take the steps needed to do that. But I am!

So I have decided, no more shame about being fat. Just some self pride that I'm willing to fight back against the circumstances that have run my life for too long. I will no longer dwell on the past but look toward the future.
