I am so excited to get my life started as it has been stalled for soooo long. I have been over weight since my late teens and I have lost and gained the same weight most of my life....but with a few extra pounds added each time. I was always extremely active as a child. I competed in ice skating from the age of 7 till I was about 13 yrs old. I then got into competitive Karate for a couple of years ( I know, far cry from ice skating). I always had bad eating habits as it was part of my generation. Parents famous last words..."Make sure you finish EVERYTHING on your plate or else you can't get up from the table". So once I quit the sports, because of the discovery of boys...lol the bad eating habits began to catch up with me. I slowly started to pack it on. I was one that never considered weight loss surgery. I always believed I had to do it the right way, surgery was not an option. Hmmmmm I guess that has changed. I finally came to the realization that it wasn't gonna happen without surgery. I don't want to waste any more of my life as it is going so quickly. I want to be able to go kayaking, waterskiing, bike riding, and most of all...I want to not worry what others think....Oh yea....The fear of not knowing if your gonna fit in the theater seat or the seats at the stadium....How horrifying is that? I am hoping that these things will soon become a reality and all those silly fears will slowly go away and just be a memory. My surgery is schedule for July 19th....Just waiting to hear back for the insurance approval ....I will keep others posted on my journey and welcome others to share theirs as well.
