hey here. i just wanted to let you know i'm thinking about you!!! i have been through the same things with some of my family members this year too and i think the surgery would make them proud of you. i don't think it's selfish at all ---- i think instead that it's really brave of you to get healthy!!!! i think they would be proud of you too for taking control and making a healthier longer life for yourself so you can enjoy the rest of your family and they can enjoy having you around too. my thoughts are with you for a speedy recovery!!! blessed be~

hi Christina "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending." "I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning." ~ J.B. Priestly "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris "Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth." ~ Katherine Mansfield "I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself." ~ Carolyn Warner "Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives." ~ Author Unknown "It's never too late to be what you might have been." ~ George Eliot "For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it." ~ Author Unknown May you always have an Angel by your side. Watching out for you in all the things you do. Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days.

Christina-I did the same thing with certain types of food, but I really haven't had to give up anything except the sweets and quite honestly, it has not really bothered me one iota. You may lose a couple of foods you once loved and eating large meals with friends/family, but you gain so much more that the few that you lose just don't matter. It will be so worth it in the end. Hang in there!
