oh my word my life is going to change

I find myself sitting around and wondering how my life will change. Will I be more mobile to play with the kids - goodness I hope so. The wayI usually attack change is expect the best but try really hard to prepare for the opposite. IN this situation I find myself expecting the best but not feeling really sure that it will work for me... I am delving into my inner self and I find that I don't think I deserve to be thin... seriously?!?!?!? how the heck did I come to that?I have no clue but It hit me yesterday that I don't feel worthy of the operation. I feel that the money could be spent on other "worthwhile" things... Holy smokes, when did my health become not worthwhile???? I used to be a gym rat and feel like I should take this weight off on my own. Does anyone else feel that for whatever reason that they are not worthy? How do I get around this thinking?

 

I know I'm a good person

my kids are excited for it

I want to be able to active like I was

I exercise now

My husband doesn't think I need it but is %100 on board with me if I want it done ( he doesn't see the extra weight I'm carrying :) - God love him)

 

 

Sooooo - the next few days are going to be spent on me... me looking at myself and knowing that I deserve this surgery and am totally worth it.

 

Thanks for listening

    :D That was me like four days before my Sleeve'n, I even got really emotional and upset and tried to get my husband to talk me out of it. But I'am worthy and so are you, we need to be healthy so we can do the things we want to do with our kids and so we can see them grow up and have grand kids for us to spoil! You are WORTHY, AND YOU DESERVE THE WORLD, THIS TOOL WILL HELP YOU BECOME THE YOU , YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE! I'm 3 weeks out today and have never felt better, keep your head up and all will be well !!!!:D

    I am three months out , and I feel fantastic! I have lost 55 lbs and I wouldnt change anything about this decision !!! I am not breathing heavy anymore , my aches and pains have subsided, I am not sufferig from edema like I used to , my blood pressure is normal again , I no longer wear size 18 I have reversed the scales and am no longer in jeopardy of hitting 300 lbs for the first time in all of my adult life my weight starts with the number 1! So no , I dont feel an ounce of guilt, shame or remorse!!!! You are worthy as is anyone who wants to take control of their destiny and protect the temple God has given them !!!!

    Two fingers, One Love!

    It is hard for a caring mom to take anything for herself. If you want to be the best mom you can be you just have to start chanting the mantra "if I can't take care of myself, I can't take care of anyone else". Congratulations to you for not only making a healthy change for yourself, but for your family as well. Your kids will learn from the examples you set when you are eating properly and become more active. Maybe learning from you will keep them from ever having to suffer what you have.
