I find myself wanting to shout at everyone "I am finally doing something with my weight" And then - I stop. No one knows what I am doing except by hubby, my mom and my bestfriends (2). Why???? Personal decision? Yeah - but why not let others know what I am doing - almost everyone I work with is overweight - and we're not talking a few pounds on the lovehandles here - we're talking we all qualify with high BMI's. so why don't I want to tell anyone? Shame? Fear of reprisal? Mockery? Hmmmm.. still working on that one - Now that the day is getting closer - my emotions are one big jumbled mess...:thumbup:

:sad: OMGG - my date is now May 18th - moved up by a month. SO excited and nervous - not sure what to think, really. Finally got all my ducks in a row with $$$$... That was a huge relief. Hubby is so supportive - makes me worried - what if I fail? What if I am the one person who this doesn't work for even following everything to the letter???? :thumbup: That is my biggest worry - I am so OCD. Being a nurse isn't helping, either. I know WAY too much. I think that is one of the other things, too. Knowledge is not always your friend.

My band date is June 18 :laugh: this year! I am excited and scared at the same time and would like someone who has been banded to help me through the next 6 weeks and beyond.
