The Beginning . . .

Aug 10, 2009

Well today I called and registered for the Surgery Options in Weight Loss Seminiar at Centra Carolina Surgery.  Althougth I have been thinking about some type of weight loss surgery for about 2 months now, I feel like today is the first step.  Ive gotten mixed support from family and friends. The majority of family and friends feel that the surgery isnt necessary - they feel its such a drastic approach to weight loss. But they dont understand my struggle.  I need to find out for myself if this is something that I want to do and the seminar, along with Gods help and direction, will certainly help me with that.

I have started to track my food intake as well as my exercise routine in a spiral notebook.  Im doing this along with my 7year daughter and she is sooo excited about this. The goal is for us to incorporate healthy living as part of our daily lifestyle. I hope I stay on track; Im typically loss momentum about 2-3 weeks out.  Praying for strength to make this successful for both of us.   Its amazing how much a child can inspire a parent.  I love her!!

I have found so much inspiration from the information and before and after pictures of on this website.  Its amazing how WLS  surgery has transformed soooo many people across the country.  I want to experience that sense of excitement as well.  

Im hoping to keep this blog updated with my progress and journey in hopes that it will inspire others, just like those on this website.

Until then  . . . .
