Live longer, see my 4 kids grow older and graduate collage and have kids of there own. To be able to walk down the street unnoticed, for wearing a nice bathing suit, to enjoy my life and not fester in my own self pity for being big! To fit in to a chair and not feel like I have crammed every being of me in it! And to do something amazing to celebrate a new life and to be lucky to have it! And no more sleep apnea.

I am in Rayleigh Essex England! So far away! But love reading all your story's updates and chats so heart warming and inspirational! Well I am officially now a loser!!! 4 days out!! And am pleased, hope your all done fab xxx
