Angie, My prayers and Best Wishes go out to you. First for your upcoming surgery and secondly because I know all too well about the "safe" syndrome. My husband didnt support me till he finally saw that I meant business. That was 2 days before my surgery. Unfortunalty it was postponed for another 6 weeks (i hope). My BMI is 50.4. He swore up and down that I was gone to divorce him after the surgery and even went as far as to threatening to cancel the ins. policy. Since its through his job and not mine. Now that It has been postponed he wants me to reconsider. Hes scared just as much as I am about having the surgery. If that makes sense to you. Maybe our significant others are just intimidated by the out-come that we are gone to achieve. I just sat my husband down and told him that I was going to have the surgery for me. My health and the well being of ME!!! Not because I want to be with another person. And I dont find that being healty, and getting our lives back is selfish. I think its selfish for them to want us to stay fat. I hope this helped you in some way. If you need support and would like to chat, drop me an email and Ill be here for you. Best Wishes and a speedy recovery!! God Bless. Melanie

HI Angie "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending." "I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning." ~ J.B. Priestly "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris "Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth." ~ Katherine Mansfield "Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really no time to be afraid. JUST DO IT." ~ Nike advertising campaign "I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself." ~ Carolyn Warner "Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives." ~ Author Unknown "It's never too late to be what you might have been." ~ George Eliot "For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it." ~ Author Unknown "Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end, requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson May you always have an Angel by your side. Watching out for you in all the things you do. Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days.
