My new life is about to begin. I left Ottawa today with my husband and I was scared,  and all emotions that I have kept inside over flowed. I cant beleive that finally I am going to start a new life tomorrow at 8.15 am.

My trip was very nice we left Ottawa at 5.am this morning and reached here at 9 am had my nutritional consult and my pre surgery consult all went well
I know this is the best decision I have ever made fot myself.

All my life I have been big. I became bigger as I had my kids and did not loss the baby weight. I moved away from my parents to join my husband in the diplomatic core and was very lonely having come from a family of 7 brothers and sisters and be left by my self became very difficult. Even if  i have 5 kids of my own 3 natural and 2 adopted I still missed my siblings. I became depressed and shut down emotionally and all the weight came on.

My greatest wish for my self is to loss this weight and mentally free my self. I have now accepted my self after both my brother and sister passed away in November 6 days a part from heart attacks so If I want to enjoy my kids and grandkids I have to take care of this weight. I work as a restorative care coodinator for a 226 bed nursing home and have to do physiotherapy with the residents meanwhile I can bearly walk or move. I really love what I do for a leaving and my weight was preventing me from doing my job.

Not everybody in my family is supportive of this move. But I am doing this for me . This is the one thing in my life that is holding  me down and I am going to over come it.

I know I have tried my best over the years to improve my health all in vain and I hope this is the begining of better days to come
