Why I did this & One month out!

May 03, 2014

I sure have been through a lot this past month including a 2 week plateau. Plateau's are just mean! I know my body lost inches during that time but the scale not moving was hard on my brain. I finally made the desicion to not weigh myself until my official 30 days out and I was down a total of 39.4 pounds! It was an amazing moment and finally my plateau was over. I was so happy and thankful. 

This surgery has changed my view on life. Now that I'm healthier I find the motivation to treat myself better because I deserve it. I had always thought the surgery was more of a wish than reality. I thought it wasn't meant for someone like me. Then one day I was watching an episode of Will & Grace. Jack didn't want to come out to his mother that he was gay and Will reminded him of what Jack said to him when he had the same problem. Jack said "Will, aren't you tired? Tired of lying to everyone. Tired of being someone you're not?" and it made me think. I AM TIRED! I'm tired of wishing I wasn't so fat and unhealthy. I'm tired of wondering if the seats at a hockey game will be big enough for me. I'm tired of my stomach touching the steering wheel in my car. So I made the decision to look into the surgery and see if I qualify. I then found out that I was fatter than I thought (BMI wise) and that this surgery was made for me. 

I haven't looked back since! This is the best decision of my life!
