    The Will to Win by Berton Braley If you want a thing bad enough To go out and fight for it, Work day and night for it, Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it, If only desire of it Makes you quite mad enough Never to tire of it, Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it, If life seems all empty and useless without it And all that you scheme and you dream is about it, If gladly you'll sweat for it, Fret for it, Plan for it, Lose all your terror of God or man for it, If you'll simply go after that thing that you want With all your capacity, Strength, and sagacity, Faith, hope, and confidence, stern pertinacity, If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt, Nor sickness nor pain Of body and brain Can turn you away from the thing that you want, If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it, You'll get it.

    Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! I am post-op Laparoscopic RNY; my surgery was on 5/24/05. Anyway, I will be praying for you, and I know you will come through surgery with flying colors. Pretty soon, you will be a big ol’ loser!! I’m not going to tell you that the first few weeks after surgery will be a bed of roses because it was pretty bad for me. But today, I feel fine and the only thing that I regret is that I didn’t have surgery in 2004 when I first started researching it. So, if you find that you’re having a hard time coping right after surgery, please know that it DOES get better. Don’t ever hesitate to email me if there is anything I can do for you – even if you just need a pep talk! So here’s to you… may you have a successful surgery, improved health, energy galore, many “wow moments”, and fabulous before-and-after pics! God bless! Hugs, Tracy

I Reached My Goal!
on January 13, 2008 5:27 am
Yesterday, 1/12/08, I reached my goal weight of 135. For a long time I thought that would be an unrealistic goal for me, but here it is.

Funny though..... I honestly thought confetti or something of the sort would come falling through the ceiling the day I stepped on the scale and hit my goal weight. But it was just me, and my scale. It's a great feeling, but if I had to do this over again, I would not have given myself a specific goal. Now it seems so silly, if I hit that magic number I would have did it, yay!

However, I felt like I did it when I hit 200, then 180, then 150 and so on. I was content at 180 and would have been able to live with that weight. Can't lie and say I'm not loving where I am now. I love it. I feel so unbelievably comfortable in my body. I'll feel even better when they chop of my loose belly skin and toss it in the trash. That is just 2 short weeks away. I'm doing that on January 30th.

Eventually I will take an updated progress photo. I think the most recent on I have up I was in the 150s (9 months after surgery photos, yep right around 156). I don't think I look much different though now :)
