Birthday Blog

So I am now at the age my father was when he passed away, it feels a little strange. He passed from Cancer, not complications of obesity. I mark events in my life like this. When I hit 30 if felt strange. It was the age that my youngest sister passed from Cancer. Cancer is too prevalent in my family (I think even if I wanted kids, I would adopt or use a sperm donor) I guess it is my NY personalty. If Goth existed when I was in high school, I probably would of been a goth kid. I received my list of pre-op testing appointments. Boy August 10 will be a busy day. Not too mention the liquid diet or their lean and Green diet will start that day. I am thinking the lean and green diet. I am currently following a counting calories mentality for losing weight. I had my "last supper" yesterday. It was more like a last pig out on my birthday. All temptation is going to be removed from the house. Later I am going grocery shopping to get my groups approved diet food. High protein, low carb. Good bye breads and fruits. Who knew fruits were so evil. I love my fruits(no gay pun intended laugh.gif) . I need to do this, I need to get my addiction under control. I need to see 52 and 62 not just 42.

My mother died when I was 19. I too count the years by the anniversary of her passing (which is New Year's Eve). It's been a little more than 20 years and it's still hard. I'm sure she'd be happy that I chose to get the band, to help me lead a healthy life.

You have started around the track if you just force yourself one foot in front of the other pretty soon the marathon will be done!! You will 102 and still feeling great, with a bunch of little feet everywhere!! Good for you!
