    Tuesday 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! ~ JudyAnne

Doctor's Appointment
on February 5, 2008 5:07 pm
Hey everyone I'm almost 1 year out Feb 28th was the day that changed my life  forever. I must say the journey has not all been easy but it's one I shall never forget. I still have some bad days but the bad out weigh the good, last year this time I was wearing a super size 36 womens skirt now I can wear a size 20 WOW what a big difference a year can make in ones life. I have those weak moments still chips are still my weakest, sometimes I rather eat a hand full of chips for dinner than to sit down and really eat something good for me, I really have to work on that really hard. I can use all the help and prays I can get to helpme overcome this,Thursday I go for my 1 year check-up and I hope goes well. I shall up date you all and maybe get some more pictures posted.
Love & Happiness

My Story

Hi my name is gena and I must say I have been overweight all my life. Most of the time  I would not let it bother me, but now it's to the point it's now or never and it's time I started this journey June 2006 and I must say I thank GOD that I will be able to have surgery Nov 29, 2007. ever since I've been given my date I feel my life changing already for the better, I'm a much happier person and I stopletting the little things get to me so much. I pray and if anyone should reads this please pray for me as well my faith is strong and I feel I will be fine and get through this. If anyone has any advice for me please feel free. I feel like diana ross I'm COMING OUT. It's like I've been locked up for so long missing out alot on life, I'm ready to do some of the things I've never done like ride an airplane or train and be able to get a normal sit like everyone else. There's just so much.
