Thoughts....
posted on 12/5/07 8:14 am
Time to update! Here it is December and I am little over a week away from having my thigh lift. I've been doing lots of thinking (which is so uncommon for us) about all that has changed in the past 3 years.
 Last night as I was lying there thinking about surgery coming up...it felt in my crazy distorted mind almost like it's the last goodbye to the body I always knew and had for so long. Like the old me is coming to an end and the new me has fully taken over...but has it?
 My journey has really been like two different lives. I notice several times my mind still catching up and the underlying issues that have never been dealt with are arising. Mostly when it comes to relationships. Being single has it's huge share of challenges. I notice how I have a guard up because well I have no idea what to do in that department as far as dating goes...I realize the past has caught up and the relationship experience I did have left me wounded and with yet another wall to climb over...because hey we all like climbing walls!
 I am excited for my thigh lift and kind of sentimental at the same time. I'm looking forward to my knee brace fitting correctly with out skin popping out over the top...but at the same time it feels like i'm getting rid of the past the big thighs I've known...Kinda strange how we reflect and how thing hit us out of no where.
 This past fall I returned to school and am just one final away from being finished with my first semester. Hoping to transfer down south to finish school by the latest next August. Simply it is truly amazing to me what barriers can be overcome when we not only stand up for ourselves but when we take care of us and get where we need to be individually.
 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
