I started reading about weight loss surgery a few years ago but I decided hey, I'm not that fat!! Except that I started realizing that I could put on makeup and fix my hair without ever really looking at myself in the mirror, so then I finally looked in that mirror and guess what, I am that fat!! I partially blame my husband for all the weight I've gained because he's always been naturally thin and eats all the time and I just joined right in and ate all the time with him. Apparently I'm not naturally thin, who knew?? So now we have four kids, definitely aren't having anymore, and I'm finally ready to get serious about my health. Initially two of my sisters and my mom were pretty against the idea, mostly just scared they're gonna get stuck with my four kids (just kidding!), but now they seem to be a little more accepting and are even making suggestions for post surgery food ideas. The whole idea is exciting and scary at the same time, but surgery is October 2nd and I think I'm ready!!
