Dying with sharks
Aug 10, 2011
Determination to live a life free of guilt, obesity, and health problems is here! I was very embarrassed to admit that I am having weight loss surgery until I spoke with my mom over the weekend. She’s absolutely the best person, mother and friend I have and she really knows how to put me in check. So, rather than sulk in my wounded pride, I’m inviting you, my friends and family, to embark on this new journey with me. Prayers, thoughts, comments, and opinions are welcome as I could use positive vibes and the occasional critique. I’ll be admitted to the hospital tomorrow morning, August 11, at 6am. This journey will not be easy, but I’m determined to stick around for my son, husband and family. Jack needs his mommy and I want to be around to watch him grow, kiss his scraped knees, be president of the band booster club and cheer him on as he plays sports. My husband Mark is amazing. His love for me is unconditional and that means the world to me. My momma always told me to pray for my husband, and the Lord heard my prayer. So, here I am, standing tall with my chin up. Nerves are creeping through every inch of my plus sized body, but it’ll be worth it. I don’t want to die in five years of a heart attack or stroke. Rather, suffering a tragic paragliding accident that results in a shark attack sure sounds much more exciting – Doesn’t it?!
