I dared to Dream!

Ok, I have to share this with someone that would understand what a big step this was for me. I went for my last appointment with the surgeon yesterday and I expressed by what if I fail concerns with him. We talked for ahile and I was reassured I have every opportunity to succeed at this as anyone. The line that struck me was - We'll (the MD staff) will be there with you every step of the way on your weight loss journey even at 3 am. You'll never be able to forget we are in this toegether once you have the surgery - OK a little corny - but it worked for me.

I stopped my Last suppering that I've been doing all month and I actually had the nerve to walk into VICTORIA SECRET today. I broswed like I belonged there and I will belong in a few months. I am not afraid to success. ROAR!

Good for you, Debby! What's nice is when you quit feeling guilty for being in the regular size depts. and can enjoy shopping again. That's just around the corner for you!

We all have the right to happiness. Funny how one person's words can change your whole outlook. Maybe tonight I'll stop my last suppering, too. I've been mostly good, but I sure love my goodies at night. Good for you!

Man oh man did I need to hear that! I haven't set foot in a Victoria Secret in years and I am so looking forward to not feeling like I just don't belong in places like that...I am just 3 weeks banded and every day I suffer with the WHAT IF I FAIL AT THIS TOO disease. I called my sister one day crying about it and she said "If you fail this time it will be because you are sabatoging yourself." That made me cry even harder until I realized that she is right and that ultimately it will be my DECISION whether to succeed or fail. YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!
