Impatiently waiting
May 27, 2009
My name is Jill and I'm still waiting on my surgery date. I am sooooo excited! You all look AMAZING!!! I have been big my whole entire life and knowing I'm going to do this is a dream come true. I'm the girl that has heard all her life "oh but you have such a 'pretty face' " (dontcha just hate that!!) I quit smoking 3 months ago and have really packed on the pounds (20 to be exact!) It was my first big step to getting healthy. I wake up every morning and I can hardly walk to the bathroom from the pain! Just my drive home from work kills me when I climb out of the car and take those first painful steps. I am 35 years old and I feel 75. I am feeling so down on myself ecspecially since the recent weight gain that I have been pretty much "hiding out" in my house. I am afraid for people to see me. I mean, I get up every day and go to work because I have to but I would really liketo climb in bed and let the world pass me by. BUT of course that is not an option. I have a family, friends and a great job. But, most important 2 wonderful girls I need to be a role model to, which, is very very hard when you feel lazy and lifeless. I need to save myself and be the woman I know I was meant to be. I read all your profiles and peep everyones pics on here and it is such an inspiration- I know it's meant for me, too. Thank you all and keep up the good work!!!
