Happy with my journey
Apr 09, 2010
This journey that I started as a support person for my DH has turned my life around. I just went for my pre-op testing and I am one step closer to my surgery. This road has had some setbacks, some ups and some downs, but I know in my heart I will reach my goal when I am supposed to get there. I had doubts about this whole process for a while, and I would sabotage my weight loss so I wouldn't make weight and then I had an excuse. When I lost my mother just over 2 months ago my normal response would have been to eat myself silly, and probably no one would have said a word about it. Although I did make a couple of bad choices overall I did very well and actually managed to cook and feed about 100 people with out gaining weight. So when I went exactly 2 months after I lost Mom and I was below goal I knew it was the true sign that this is the time for me. By doing this I have set a goal for myself to be the first woman on my mothers side of the family to live to 80 years old. (my mom was 66, her mom was 54, my aunt was the eldest at 71) so for my health this is for ME! This journey we call life is to be enjoyed and not watched from the sidelines and I am one step closer to participateion instead of spectator. So I guess no matter what you are going Through, and all the hoops we have to jump through to get the insurance to approve us, just enjoy the journey you will get there when it is exactly your time to arrive.
