6 DAYS SINCE SUBMITTED AND I AM.......
APPROVED!! Surgery date is official 1/21/13. WOW WEE YIPPEE ! ! ! For the first time in my adult life will I be able to wear a swim suit that I actually like! I wonder how much my life as I know it will change? The people around me won't be different; the places I go won't be different, my job won't be different. Me, I will be different. I will be the beautiful person on the outside that people know me to be on the inside. No longer will my obesity be what people see first. OMG I get to buy all new clothes for the first time since I don't know when will. And, and I'll be able to walk into Old Navy, Macy's, Marshalls, all my favorite stores and buy right off the rack in the "regular" sized section. Will my feet shrink too? No longer will I have to shop on line for the plus sized clothes. Inside I am shaking from excitement but maybe a little sadness too, for the love of my life, his name is FOOD, won't be there for me anymore. Our relationship will change drastically. I won't need as much of him after the surgery. I probably won't even be able eat most of his choices. I won't look to him for support, or to make me feel better when I'm angry, sad or hurt. I guess this is sort of a break up for me and him. I'll keep him around but we'll just be friends now. I won't love him like I used to. I won't need him like I used to. Sorry Food but now I will have a new love in my life, ME! YES YES YES
