In the beginning

Well, here I am. www.obesityhelp.com. How did I get here? What I have done to deserve this distinction? Am I finally gonna get off this roller coaster?Let me start by saying, HI
I've never written a blog but I have written alot. I have never been on a weight loss website but I've been on many websites. I've never had weight loss surgery but surgeries are no stranger. I ask alot of questions only because I think the answers may change. They don't... the answer is still the same. You are overweight. You are pre-diabetic. You are not able to do simple things that you enjoy. I want to change these answers to YES, OK, SURE, LET ME DO IT! Negativity has no place in my vocabulary.
I am a very upbeat and pleasant person but my internal dialog is horrible. When I am in the shower and my husband comes in, I am embarrassed. When I get out and the towel doesn't go all the way around, I am heart broken. When I try to put on my clothes and realize they no longer fit and I'm out of breath from trying, I can do nothing but cry. My husband didn't marry this woman! I'm not this woman! I'm the one that can do anything, be anything, and go go go anytime there is something to do. When did this woman show up?
I love my Lord Jesus. I love my children. I love my husband. I love my parents and family. I love others! Why can't I love myself? It is time. Time for me. Time for health. Time to look the world straight in the eye again.
I have been in the process of getting VGS surgery for a few weeks now and all that is left is meeting with the surgeon again and setting the date. I have a date of December 27, 2010 in mind. I have been to our meeting. I have attended consults with the surgeon, the bariatric nurse, the exercise physiologist, the dietitian and the psychologist. I've had an EGD to get a road map of my esophagus and stomach. I have received a wonderful test called a sleep study and gotten a new sleeping partner. Now...I'M READY! Let the new year begin with a new start, a renewed mind, a renewed sense of self and a NEW BODY! Come on 2011 it's you and me!
