Hi all... was sitting here thinking of things and started thinking to myself wow you know there are so many things that I will be able to do again or that I ahve enver done before ( I am sure you are all shaking your head saying yeah and DUH!) but I never really sit down and thought about it... I mean there is still so much that I do even at " my size" that a lot of people do not do like play baseball with my kids I did not say that I run the bases.. but I do play pitcher all the time and we play frisbee I dont chase the frisbee the kids always beat me to it but I do not stand stationary there and just throw it... anyway here was what i was thinking I will be able to bat and run the bases with the kids at some point after my surgery....I will be able to run and chase my children sometime after my surgery and CATCH THEM!!! I will be able to walk to the lake on my land fish a while and walk back without breathing like a frieght train sometime after my surgery... when we go to the Lake of the Ozarks to fish I will be able to go to all the areas they want to go fish at instead of the ones that " mom " can get too....I will be able to get the seat bealt around me with no extention.... I will be able to ride the rides at an amusement park....I will be able to walk into a resturant and not feel like I am being stared at becuase I am a "pig"....I might possibly be able to sleep on my stomach again .......I might actually see what a smaller then DDD bra feels like in over 20 years....I might actually hear whistles directed to me.....I will get to buy pretty lady shoes.... I will get to shop in normal size shops....I will no longer hear well you have such a pretty face if only the body matched...and you know there has to be one revenge one on here, be able to walk up to my ex and say Eat your heart out!...( sorry about this one but since we divorced he has continually called me a fat @$$ to my daughter and just once I want to have the last laugh!

Well today is day when all I can do is sit around and cry..happy not sure sad dont think so..this probably sounds crazy...I am sitting here looking at before and after pictures and just crying my eyes out...to really think that someday I will have a before and after picture also..I never thought that would happen and watching each day the pictures and all I know that I will one day have one tehre also. This board and the people on it have made me realize that there are so many things I never thought I would be able to do that I know I will now... Like play with my kids without feeling like I am going to die for lack of air!!!!! Or buying pretty lady shoes ( I know this sounds weird but I havent had pretty ladies shoes in ummm not sure but YEARS) buy clothes in the regular stores and not Lane Bryant ( although i love this store)....You guys are all wonderful...thank you for allowing me to travel with you all and for traveling with me on this ride of a lifetime.

This is something I wrote last night as I sat there thinking about my surgery and what had stopped me from being me before...
When I was younger I had a dream
To be the best that I could be
As I grew older I began to see
A person emerging that was not me
The person I see whenever I look
In the mirror each night
Lacked in happiness laughter
And unfortunately sight
Sight into my soul my mind
And my heart
Sight that could help me make
A fresh start
One day I decided that she must
Step aside
And I had to take a hold of my
Life from inside
Inside the dark secrets the
Worries and fears
Inside I let loose and let go
Of the tears
Finally I know that I will
Soon be
The best person that I can possibly
Be
With all my hard work and my sweat
And my tears
I know now that what stopped me before
Was my fears
A date has been given!!!!!
