Here I go!

Jan 23, 2013

Started my Optifast yesterday, and so far, so good. 

I have no idea what to expect in terms of weight loss, but I know that whatever it is, it will be enough:) I really want to make sure that I am in the best shape possible for my surgery. I have no underlying health risks, aside from my obesity, so I am working hard to make sure that I do everything I can to make this easier on my surgeon, and on my recovery.

This initial post will likely be quite rambling, as I have so many thoughts and emotions running through my head. It is hard to believe that after 18 months of waiting, my date is just around the corner. 27 days from today, I will be at St Joseph's Hospital going under the knife. I am scared, excited, nervous, anxious...all of those things and more. I am so thankful for my support. My wonderful husband and parents, my amazing co-worker and friend Tracy, and my ringette family. This is such a momentous event in my life, and I am so grateful that I have so many wonderful people supporting me along the way. My hope is that one year from now, I will look like a different person outside, but inside, i will just be a more confident version of myself. That's all I am asking for. I feel like in order to feel deserving of all  he blessings in my life, I need to be thinner. I don't know why, but that is what I feel. At least today.

As I walk down this path of life change, I am looking forward to blogging about my adventures, my trials, and my tribulations.

Here I go...
