Taking Care of Me

Jan 26, 2009

That's my goal: I'll make myself top priority in my life. I told my mom that my PCP referred me to a surgeon for WLS and she said, "Well, I surely hope you are not going to go through with it." I felt so down and discouraged. I know my mom loves me and worries about my overall health, but I also thinks she is embarassed by my weight. She points out that "people are staring" at me. I never pay attention because I really don't care. I often wonder how she notices this.

Anyway, when I told my youngest sister my plans and told her mom's reaction my sister was so supportive and told me, "Take care of YOU. Do what you need to do in order to be healthy and happy." That was the encouragment I needed. Hubby is already supportive and encourages me to have the surgery so that I can at least move around better.

So here goes. It's a major step in liberating ME!
