41 Days Until Surgery and My Very First Blog!

Never the less, I am finding it important to document my weight loss journey and will hopefully keep my words and boring tales to a minimum.
I am 41 days away from surgery. I don't know exactly how much I weigh, but it is somewhere in the 235-245 range. Nice! 5 foot 3 inches and somewhere between 235-245. - - Who is this person?
I've battled my weight since I was 4 or 5 years old. I remember the school nurse commenting and maybe even laughing when she weighed me in kindergarten. I was always an active kid, and did everything all the other kids, and sometimes more. I got a horse when I was ten, and was responsible for caring and feeding him 7 days a week. I played sports, played dolls, rode bikes and went to horseback riding camp with my horse. It was at this time, for the first time, I lost weight - - a lot of weight! Somewhere between 30 - 40 lbs. I can remember running down a hill and losing my blue jeans -- honestly, having them fall right down and land by my ankles! It was amazing! It all happened in 6 weeks when I was in 6th grade.
Then I returned home, and with it came my old habits. The weight returned and with it came more.
I got older, and continued to ride, as well as ski race, play field hockey, swim team and all the other things teens do. I knew I was overweight, but thankfully, it never got in my way.
I went on to college - it was my Junior year when I again shed a significant ammount of weight, and felt great. I had dates and boyfriends and spent my Jr. Year Abroad. For the most part I kept it off until my first year of work, when it slowly returned - - a few pounds a month, and finally a return to being significantly over weight.
