So here it is. My last day as a 20-something. My 30th birthday is tomorrow. I've been kind of psychologically dreading this for awhile now. I'm not exactly sure why, but the thought of being 30 freaks me out a bit. Makes me feel significantly older than 29 for some reason. 

I know by changing my lifestyle and having this surgery that I am only adding many more years to my life. So many more experiences, trips, challenges and just time with my family. This, those added years, were the best 30th birthday present I could have ever given myself. I am proud of myself for all that I have done so far and I have never been more excited for my future.

Aw, happy birthday!  It is just a number, but just think how much you will be enjoying your 30's than your 20's!  I just turned 45 & that freaked me out more than 30 or 40....that's like middle aged lol!  But I am absolutely positive that my life is going to be so much healthier and happier now that I am sure I'll be sitting in my rocker one day saying "My mid-forties were the best time of my life" lol!  Have a wonderful birthday!

Happy birthday tomorrow! 

Thirty ain't nuthin'.  As you say, the choice you made for life and health improvement was the best gift you could have given yourself and those who love you.  I think you're gonna rock the years to come. 

For me personally turning 25 was much more dramatic than turning 30 was.  After all, I had been alive A QUARTER CENTURY!!!!     Ah, youth.
