The begining of my Journey
Jul 12, 2007
I have been considering this journey for many years, I have read about it, talked about it, even worked for a Bariatric Doctor and gained more on hand information on the subject. I have many friends who have had WLS and have succeeded way passed their own expectations, they are much different people than when they began, and just as I had found them beautiful prior to their WLS, I found them to be astounding now, it's amazing to watch someone transform, and watch them take that jourey of finding one self all over again.
A friend of mine who is soon to be reaching her one year surgery anniversary and has lost over 100lbs and is nearing her goal weight tells me that she still struggles on a daily basis, but she picks her battles, and yet when she wakes up in the morning she doesn't feel heavy anymore, she's up and going and ready to face the world, where as when she was topping 300 some pounds she couldn't even imagine getting out of bed more or less facing the world! The sad part is I can relate to that greatly these days, I am tired 75% of the time, and when it comes to getting out and doing something with my son, I simply contemplate what it is and if I have to use any energy I trully don't feel I could muster to go out and do. I feel guilty sometimes because I feel I have my son caged in my body armor of fat as well as I have myself. I look I have a healthy active little boy who could thrive so well in doing physical activities such as going hiking, and just going for a walk even. I can't even fathom the thought not in the heat, than yet, when the weather is perfect out side I'll find another excuse to not go and do it. It's frustrating to want to do it, and yet not finding the energy with in your self to do it.
So today, I've pretty much made the decsion to start my journey, I am 100% commited to getting this done, and now I just have to find my self a PCP that will guide me to the write surgon and poof hopefully with in the next 2 years I'll be wearing myself some size 10 jeans and lookin' all hot, and having all them goodlookin' men who don't even bother to look at me now try to chase me, and I'm gonna tell em to find a kite and fly it on a busy highway (with a lot of semi-trucks going really fast!) I'm going to look at my ex-boyfriend (bestfriend) face and tell him that he waited too long and couldn't come to terms with who I was and how I looked, he could join them other ones out on the freeway too. So all of you in Southern California Inland Empire area, lets say 2 1/2 years from this point and you see a bunch of REALLY good looking men playing on the freeway with kites ya know who sent them! ME!
