I'm not sure where to start. Its funny how you look in the mirror and don't see what other people see. I remember when I was in high school and seeing someone very fat when in fact, I look at pictures now and I wasn't heavy. I remember later on I again thought I was fat and when I look now at that same picture, I wasn't. Well, its like one day I woke up and thought how did I gain all of this weight. I am 5.1 and weight 255 lbs. NOW I AM OFFICIALLY MORBID OBESE, HAVE PROBABLY BEEN ALL ALONG.
I have never had a good self image of myself and don't know why. My mother was very supportive and always told me I was beautiful, I just never believed her. Sometimes I now think at 60 years old that its too late but I'm commited to getting my health back on course.
Today is April 14, 2007, I have lost 55lbs and feeling great. Its been a big change and I am trying to adjust but everyday I learn something new and exciting. I am off my diabetic meds and alot of my other meds but still taking my vitamins. I haven't taken a new picture yet, I want to take one but I still don't like looking in the mirror, I guess time will tell.

Today is Friday and I have surgery Tuesday morning. I am ready and don't have any anxiety or second thoughts. I know the first few months are going to be hard but I am sure I will do fine. Al is being so supportive and I am sure he will help me with anything I need.
