Label me, label free!

What is in a label? What is a label? There are many kinds of labels. What we give ourselves often becomes our self fulfilling prophecies. Hurt, alone, scared, angry, single, married, we are what we define ourselves to be.   And then there are the labels that are not self subscribed, and often those are the ones we hold so close to our heart, even if it hurts. A bitch, fat, lazy, stupid, 'oh she's --single still'. They are often hurtful and mean, but yet we still let them become a definition o

Happiness the elusive....

Life in general...I have become quiet disenchanted with my current life and self. I did everything I could do to change me, to make everyone else love me and feel lost. Most days I am clueless as to who I really am, and some I am so confident that I know who I am, it truly scares me. But today I ponder how someone who has everything she wished for feels so sad about it all. There is something to be said about the grass ia always greener on the other side. What did I sacrifice to become who I a

Battle of the Buldge, versus battle of the brain...

Well I have successfully taken off 162 pounds now, and I thought that was the hard part. That unfortunately has been far from true.I am more terrified now of my weight than I ever have been. Food and exercise controls my thoughts, my sleeping moments (which have become rare) and my waking moments.   Why is the battle of the brain in weight loss harder than the battle of the buldge? No matter what anyone says to me, I see the old me. The lady with the "good personality" that everyone liked and

Dissapointment in others....

Ugh...I was told yesterday, absolutely, positively the nurse would be calling me back to give me a date on my surgery. By 4 pm I was nervous, so I called them.   The nurse for the 3rd day in a row "forgot" to put my file in front of the dr. to get final ok. Now I have to wait for her to remember to do it tommorw and get a call next week. I know good things come to those who wait, but I do not do well with incompetence. She giggled and didn't even apologize, like it is funny.....grrrrrr.....  

CHAMPVA

Well I did what they told me could not be done. I got insurance approval in less than a week. How did I do it? I called several times and talked to several people until I found the right one that was willing to help me. He just happened to be a man that I could sweet talk. I turned on the charm heavy and he told me what to send him. He got the approval letter sent to Hurley in less than a week! Wooo hooo....! :eek:   Tommorow I get a surgery date! Yeah!

Excited and ready!

I am very excited. I have been tossing around the decision for awhile for by pass. My primary doctor is not behind me at all. I let her get into my head, but I have finally had enough.   My family is behind me, my husband is very excited, even know he will be buying me a new wardrobe.     I am doing the band because I am young. I like that is can be adjusted and you aren't just "stuck" with it, like and R-en Y.   I met my lap band doctor Wednesday. Everything is all in line, I just nee
