DREAM THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM !!!!
When Dr. Titus Duncan sang this song ( I will have a singing surgeon) at the end of the seminar for WLS, it actually sparked a fire in my heart that I can do this. I actually cried with joy. There was a kabang, that said yes Kelly, your prayer is being answered. I knew that my longtime dream and prayer of permenant weight loss was soon to manifest itself. GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST! I can't explain it, I just know a change was catapolted that would be the beginning of many changes in my life. The words for this song are below:
To dream ... the impossible dream ...To fight ... the unbeatable foe ...To bear... with unbearable sorrow...To run ... where the brave dare not go ...To right... the unrightable wrong...To love ... pure and chaste from afar...
To try ... when your arms are too weary ...To reach ... the unreachable star ...
This is my quest, to follow that star ... No matter how hopeless, no matter how far ...To fight for the right, without question or pause ...To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause ...
And I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest,..That my heart will lie will lie peaceful and calm,
when I'm laid to my rest...And the world will be better for this:That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,....To reach ... the unreachable star ...
Well I am excited to be at the beginning of a new journey for myself. It has been years of dieting with no lasting results.
And now I have a chance to be healthy and feel good about my appearance and live again. I can't wait to run and dance.
I can't wait to ride bikes with my children and climb a nearby mountain. I can't wait to shop at a regular store and wear real
blue jeans with a zpper and a belt and be able to see the belt. I can't wait to tuck in my shirt and not be worried about hiding my belly with a large suppersized shirt. I am at the very beginning of my process and I already can't sleep at night with excitement. I have researched, and asked myself all kinds of questions to make sure this is my answer and I do believe that it is. join me on my journey.........
As a child I was very skinny, and I didn't care for eating that much unless it was tuna and fries, or chicken and noodle soup. I was so skinny that like you my mom took me to the doc to see if I was ok. I would sit at the dinner table for hours before my mother would finally give up and get rid of my plate. When my mom remarried, my stepfather (who practically raised himself from friend to friends house after his mothers death when he was 13) had a different look on wasting food. After sitting for hours (usually 2) he'd look at my plate and say. " hummm, that looks like that would cost about .70
cents" . Yes, I actually had to pay him for the food I wasted. Over time my money became important to me and so I began to eat the food regardless of if I was full or not. I suppressed my feelings in food as I began to enjoy the taste and let my bank grow. The next thing I knew I was being fussed at for asking for a 3rd pork chop and grandfathers house. That is where the weight began to enter the picture. I have had a weight problem every since. I had a limited life of activities, just food and tv. This is all I have known and all I have done. This is how I have raised my children. This is why it is time for a change. A change for the better, not just for me but for my children also. We have to totally recreate our way of thinking about food, dealing with our emotions, turning off the TV and getting on the move.....
MY CHOICE, MY CHANGE, MY CHANCE !!!!!
