Wow! Where do I begin...I have been battling this weight my whole life. I hate to think of all the things I "put on hold" until I lose some weight....Don't get me wrong. I am a productive person. I have a wonderful family, a great husband that loves me, two great sons, and many awesome friends that are always there for me. I have a great job as a Cosmetology Instructor. I love being an Instructor, it is such a rewarding job.  It's just me. I am not happy this way. I think for years, I tried to convince myself that I was okay with being this way, but the weight has finally started taking its toll on my body. I have no energy! I don't want to do the things I used to do. I have trouble walking any distance at all! I am shocked at how out of shape I am! That is the main reason for me doing this. I want my life back. I want to do the things I used to do again. And I have to have lots of energy for my job! I have been doing this 10 day pre-op liquid only diet! Whoa! It's been tough....but I have almost made it! I have lost 13 lbs. so far! I go into surgery this Monday June 22! OMG! I can't believe its finally time!  I don't know what else to write for now....this is just the beginning and I'm excited to get started! More later....
