A Step Toward Happiness

Jun 23, 2014

I am getting a step closer everyday to s new life. I have dreamed of this day others dream of a fancy car , big house , a lot of money. Yes all those things are wonderful but those things would never satisfy my wanting to be skinny. I have always been overweight from childhood to adulthood .And I would and still do hear oh Shawna you have a pretty face if only you lose weight. Wow and because that hurt so bad I would turn to food. It felt like I would never break from this cycle. But thank God I was blessed with a supportive husband and children who Encouraged me to talk to my doctor. I did and to my surprise she thought I was a excellent candidate with the health aliments I was facing. So I started my journey to a healthy life in January of this year I had some setbacks but a strong support system and on May of this year I got the call that changed my life I got approved I cried I screamed I was all over the place with emotions. I never dreamed I would get a second chance at life. So now Thursday June 26 2014 I start my liquid diet and on July 10th is my surgery and the day my dream becomes a reality!
