Dreams Part 2: Did Obesity Rob You of Your Dreams?

This is part 2 of the 3 part series on Dreams. Did obesity rob you of your Dreams too???

This is from Leanne, a very special RNY’er from Obesity Help. Leanne had her WLS about 7 months before I had mine. During that time Leanne has been through some major life changes including changing jobs (awesome promotion!), and divorce after 20 years of marriage. Leanne is very resilient and blossomed through all her recent life changes.

This is Leanne’s Dream post before most of those changes occured………..

Did obesity rob me of my dreams?

I had a very interesting conversation with a wise person yesterday.  During our conversation, the topic of goals/dreams came up and I realized that I don’t have any dreams now.  When I was younger, I had many dreams and contemplating them provided countless hours of happy anticipation.  I’m not sure when my dreams died, but there is probably a direct causal link to my weight as it increased over the years.  The extra weight suffocated me in many ways.

So I’m going to revisit having dreams again.  It is time to awaken that which has been dormant for too long.  I know one dream I have is to travel and see much of the world.  There are certain mystical places that have always fascinated me — Easter Island, Stonehenge, and Machu Pichu are some of them.  I intend to see those places and explore them thoroughly!

There now, I have identified one clear dream.  I hope that many more will follow.
