Notes:

Wow, amazing I can’t believe that I have lost 26 lbs. and -19.5inches!!! I sometimes think that these numbers could be way better at a monthout, but I have never before lost these kinds of numbers this fast in my lifeand trials of losing. I believe the reason I think they could be better isbecause I have made such a drastic change and I want things to happen now.However, I am losing the weight three times as fast if not more than I gainedit so that is fantastic in my book. Lastly, I am losing the weight now. I justcan’t tell right away, just like I couldn’t tell I had gained all that weightright away.

I haven’t had too many people notice the change or at least theyhaven’t said anything to me, but that is good in my opinion. I have choose sofar to keep this surgery a secret. I just personally feel that this is my bodyand my business and I don’t feel it necessary to tell everyone about it justyet. I for when I am ready to tell the masses and I’m sure I will, then andonly then will I tell them and that’s might right and choice. I have heard afew good compliments sent my way. Most people just say I look good and I’m ‘glowing’is the word I keep hearing. One guy asked if I was pregnant and another said Imust be in love. A few people have just said ‘wow, I don’t know what it is yourdoing, but just keep doing it you look great.’ I’m glad most have not asked andthat it is so noticeable yet. For the few that have asked I just tell them itmust be the great tan I am getting and that I’m just happy to be back andschool, enjoying the summer, and time away from work.

I know that I will get to where ever it is I am going with thissurgery sooner or later its’ just so hard in the moment. I think I can, I thinkI can, I know I can and I will because this is my chance and I will take it forit may be my only.

LET’S DO THE DAMN THING!!!
