    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. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Update - August 6!!!  Currently on the LD...

I'm still playing the waiting game:)  With a little luck, I'll be starting my journey at the beginning of June.  My husband is also going through the process, so I'll have great support at home.  My husband and I plan to take full advantage of being healthy, fit empty nesters!
My Story

Where to begin...

I wasn't too heavy as a child, although I always felt like I was.  My problems really began when I was pregnant with my first child.  I was on bedrest for 3 months.  During that time, I gained 80 lbs.  I had the same bout with illness during my second pregnancy, and that time i gained 85 lbs. 

I tried everything - WW, Atkins, Fen-Phen, etc.  I'd lose a little, then gain a little more.  I've been on a gradual climb for 22 years.  It's amazing how far one can climb in 22 years, even when it's just a little at a time. 

My husband and I don't purposely sabotage each other, but we use food to reward each other. Eating out has been our main source of entertainment recently.  We've been working hard to change that prior to surgery.  Eventually, we can get back to doing the things we really love.  Can't wait to golf again:)
