had an epiphany

Thanks so much for writing.  And thanks for the wishes.  I have always believed that 1 must crawl before they could walk and I am doing just that...  I am in the crawling stage.  I see my son and know that I have to make sure he does not end up doing or not doing what I do or haven't done.  It's all about him.  Thanks so much! Hugs, Theresa

That is wonderful!!  Keep up the posistive attitude.  I know it is hard to give up habits and move into something that is new.  Habits are comfortable.  But you have a great attitude and you will do great.

Thanks for writing and thanks so much for the well wishes.  I haven't always had the best frame of mind or attitude but I am definitely trying my best to change it.  Again, thanks hun! Hugs, Theresa

Theresa, That is a huge step. Stick with those new habits and you will be successful. You go, girl. Joe

Thanks Joe, for writing.  Having all this support is so great.  How could I possibly fail with the support of Cameron and all of ya'll.  Thanks for the well wishes, they mean alot to me. Hugs, Theresa

It's NEVER TOO LATE! I felt like I didnt do enough before my surgery, while I was in the hospital. But I soon learned that every lil step you take, get's you closer, no matter how small! Congrat's! Brandi~

Brandi, thanks for writing.  I hope what you say is true, that it is never to late.  I was worried about my pre op now I'm worried about not losing enough weight from the pre op date.  Is there even a certain amount that they expect you to lose?  I just know that I am going to ******vous wrec****il Tuesday, when I go see the surgeon for the final appt.  Thanks for the well wishes. Hugs, Theresa

Theresa you have done something amazing with yourself.  You are preparing yourself but you are also doing something else, you are setting an example for your son.  You are showing him proper eating habits, you are getting him into exercise.  Yeah a mile might not seem like a lot but if that is what you can do right now, that is a wonderful accomplishment.  That Cameron is going to be your biggest supporter & there will be so much you can do together with your journey.

Awww thanks for writing Courtney.  Cameron is actually teaching me more right now.  He's being the strong one and acting so grown up.  He knows what his mommy is about to go through and why and he is sooooo completely understanding and accepting of this.  I have tried to explain how this will benefit both of us and I think he is seeing that now.  I honestly couldn't do this with out him.  He's my bit of inspiration.  Thanks for all your help and support.  It means alot. Hugs, Theresa

Theresa - I'm so proud of you!  that is a HUUGE step.  Sending you tons of +++ thoughts - Lys
