Trapped

Jan 02, 2015

For as long as I can remember, I have been overweight. Trapped in a body that has limited me from truly living a fulfilling life. I have attempted diet after diet..and have lost some, but I've failed at success with this. 

I am praying hard that I will be able to submit my paperwork this upcoming week for approval for my DS procedure which is tentatively scheduled for January 28th. They say negative thoughts create negative outcomes, so I am doing my absolute BEST to stay positive and think positively.  I have received an incredible amount of support from family, friends and internet friends which I will be forever grateful to! But, I have also encountered the "Negative Nancy's". Which, I obviously ignore. I understand and respect those that have their opinions, but if you cannot support someone that is doing something for themselves that is detrimental to their health, then I really do not need them in my life. Plain and simple. I have come a long way, but I know this is what's best for me. This tool will only help me and guide me to a longer and healthier life. No, it is not an "easy fix" as most Negative Nancy's say. This is in fact surgery. This can be life threatening. In NO way an easy decision! I have a whole new respect for those that have gone through the pre-op process and surgery, from seeing with my own eyes the process ahead. Those that have responded and have sent me emails reaching out, THANK YOU! It truly means a lot to know I also have supporters here that I can relate to...

Until next time!
