I don't know if I've been in denial, delay or just scared!

Nov 15, 2010

Okay, I don't know if I've been in denial, delay or just downright scared, but I pretty much haven't done anything on this site but look at the "before" and "after pictures. I thought I could do it on my own, and honestly, I do know better, but it's been tough to share with "strangers" what I'm about to go through. In spite of the fact that just about anyone reading this has been there and done that, and reading your entusiastic posts and supportive responses have been very reassuring. Still, I have been reluctant to join in.

Well, now my time has come (two days from now, Wednesday, Nov. 17, 2010), and i am feeling like this voyage is going to be a very lonely one. I am faced with this life changing event and I really don't know who (or how) to talk about it.  So, I figure this is probably my last chance to reach out. Of course, I don't expect some Angel in white wings to come flying to my rescue, but I hope that over the next few days I might be able to find somebody that, understands how fear can sometimes render us imobile and uncommunicative.

One other thing, in all the "before and afters" I've seen, everybody looks so happy and health and good. I'm looking forward to being healthy and all of the other things that people who have been overweight most of their lives want, but I have made a career out of the way I look, and I'm afraid that if that changes it might be difficult for me to get work. But I guess that's another story. Thanks for reading.

Big love!
