Ok so now that it is Sept 2nd I have officially started my countdown. My surgery date is gonna be here in just a little over a month. What a wide variety of emotions, I am feeling right now. I cannot wait for this day to be here to start my new life.

But the fact of the matter is this is just a sad situation that at 28 years old I have missed out on so much of life due to the fact I was always overweight. I was always a chubby kid and for a long time was told "oh it's just baby fat", well now that I have a daughter of my own, I think it's safe to say it's not "baby fat" anymore. No one in my family has ever really been to concered about my weight because my entire family is obese.
) I really am. I have done hours and hours of research and comparing and three years ago I would have swore up and down I never would have had this surgery but at this point, I know it is my only option to become healthy for my daughter .
. Over the next year (except for a couple months that I dealt with a broken arm and nerve damamge) I managed to do really well exercising and making healthy food choices and I lost 50lbs and then BAM I got pregnant! I fell into the trap of "eating for two" while I was pregnant, and ever since I had my daughter I just cant get it back together again.
. How embarrassing. I refuse to let this affect my daughter when she gets older. I am still very full of life and run and play with my daughter still but of course you can imagine at over 300lbs you have limitations to put it mildly. At this point I am so done with being the fat girl with the awesome smile and pretty face. (Very nice to hear) however my health is most important for myself and my daughter since I am a single mother. My daughter is my life and I cannot imagine being limited as a Mother to her because of my weight. Plus I want to install healthy lifestyle patterns in her (that was never done for me) and I dont want to look like a hypocrite doing it....lol
