    Monday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else.

Lawn Mowing, Does it Ever End???
on June 26, 2007 10:30 pm
I do believe that all I do lately is mow the Lawn.. Does it ever end?? I think it is growing so fast because of all the rain we are having lately.. I have  mowed it twice within the last 7 days.. And I dont have a small yard.. I have about 1 Acre that I mow with a push mower.. No riding mower for me..  I guess it is good excercise. BUT I HATE IT!!
Oh well.. Im done venting now and feel a little better.. *lol*

VACATION!!
on June 9, 2007 8:03 pm
I got home about a week ago.. I spent 10 days in Ontario.. I have a friend that I met on the Internet 5 years ago that I had never met in person before.  We talk on the phone almost EVERY day.. *lol* I felt Like I had known her forever even though we had never met in person..
This spring her husband told her that he would buy me a plane ticket to come out and see her.. YAH!! And he did... 
My Hubby was ok with me going because he had met both her and her husband several times.. (My Hubby is a Trucker and is in Ontario occasionally)
So on the Night of May 23 I flew to Ontario.. Not too long of a flight.. Only 4 hours..
I got off the plane and she was there waiting for me and was just as excited as I was!

I had a great time.. I got homesick around day 6 or 7, but got past it and continued to have a good time.. They live in a nice little town a couple of hours from Toronto.. Right on Lake Ontario.. I got to go Boating wich was very cool and to a whole bunch of wineries, wich was also very cool.. When security scanned my bags at the airport going home Im sure they thought I was an alcoholic.. I think I ended up coming home with about 8 Bottles of wine..

The Only thing I didnt like about the whole trip was the HEAT & HUMIDITY!! YUKKKKKKKKK

Im Glad to be Home.. Only 3 Months Til My Surgery!! YAHOOOOOOO!! Im in the Home stretch!!
The Friday before I left, I got a call from my surgeons office.. They had a cancellation and were calling to ask me If I wanted to take it.. It was for Monday May 28th... I wished I could have taken it but I couldnt bail on my friend when they paid so much money for the plane ticket.. Plus no one else could take off work on such short notice to come help me ect ect..
It was better that we stuck to the original date and there is Vacations booked for that time so people can be around for me..

I guess in the next week I need to get my butt in gear and get things done around the house.. My Sister and my Neices are Flying up from Washinton to see me for a week.. I havent seen them Since December of 2004 and I have never seen my Sisters new Baby who is 6 months old now.. So Im excited!!

Ok, Im done Babbling for tonight!

Little things I wonder about.
on April 22, 2007 11:13 pm
Tonight when My Hubby called (He is a Long Haul Trucker) we were talking about my surgery and how it is just a little over 4 months away.. I was telling him about some of the wonderful success's that I have seen on OH and some of the things I have seen people talking about. (ie; amounts and kinds of food to eat post op)

My Hubby is 5'7" and is about 145 LBS no matter what or how much he eats! (The man can eat a TON)
He said to me when we were talking about this that he would be scared to come home because when he comes home he eats ALOT. He said he would feel bad eating in front of me. I told him that He didnt need to feel bad or think that way..

How do you deal with this kind of Issue??

My Story

I thought for quite awhile before I typed this..There are so many things I could say, but it would take forever to type them all..

Im 35 Years old and since I could remember I have always been on the heavy side.. When I was a child my mother was not very nice about my weight. (Even though my Dad was Very Heavy) - Certain things stick out in my mind that made me know that she didnt approve of my weight.. When I was 10, My Father was on Weight Watchers. My Mother decided that since he was on it, I should be too..It was horrible, I was 10 and didnt understand at all..

When I was about 15, I got down to about a size 8 by starving myself for a long long time.. at 16, I went to live with my Grandparents.. And My Grandma  could not feed me enough.. she was always cooking and putting food in my face.. in 1 year I went from a size 8 to a size 20.. And Have never been lower than I size 20 since then.. I have had 2 sets of Twins and with the first set I lost the weight I gained and went back to my size 20 and about 250 LBS.. Then with the second set I gained LOTS of weight and never lost it.. So Now Im about 300 LBS..

In 2002 My Father Had WLS and  Lost Approx 150 LBS.. I was so Impressed that I started to look into it.. It took alot of years and many waiting lists but I finally got a Date- (September 17, 2007) WOOHOOOOOO! 

It couldnt be soon enough.. I found out in the Summer of 2006 that Im diabetic and have high blood pressure.. That was a hard one for me to take.  I just didnt think that I should be hearing things like that when I was only 34 Years old..

Im Married to a WONDERFUL man for the past 9 years who will love me either Fat or Thin.. Without him & his Family, I dont know where I would be today. Jamie is my Angel.. I thank him everyday for loving me for who Iam, not what size Iam..

I also got a wonderful bonus when we got married.. I have the Most AMAZING Mother In Law! She is a wonderful lady who is also one of my Best Friends!

Im so Lucky to Have suck a supportive family! I love you all! THANK YOU!!
