The Secret

As I begin my new journey with "The Secret" I will find all of this so much easier. A peaceful journey to good health and happiness.   There doesn't seem to be enough time to listen and read and learn all that I want to learn these days. What is the rush? If peace is my goal I should slow the process and enjoy the journey

six plus months later

I've never been good at keeping up with a journal..........nothing has changed.   My highest weight was 265. On surgery day I was 261. My lowest now has been 194. 70 pounds. Wow! The beauty of it is that it won't come back. I will never go over 200 again. I always said that when on previous diets and in the blink of an eye I would be back up there and beyone. Unless, God forbid, something goes wrong with my band I will not gain again.   I had an unfill a couple days after Christmas a

Let's get started

Well I think it will be a good idea to document some of the events and feelings somewhere, so why not here.   I am awaiting the ok from my insurance and gathering medical information. I am very anxious and excited. I hope I have a good outlook and will be very successful. I am probably expecting it to be easier than it really will be but I want this weight gone so badly I think I will do whatever it takes.   I have given up on dieting completely so I will have to get my mind re-set.   L
