GOODBYE to you!

You guys (and gals) WE CAN DO THIS!!!! My surgery is 3 days away and for some reason I decided to get on Youtube tonight to look at before and after pictures. There were people that were 6-10 months post op that have lost 100 lbs!!! Say Whhhattt??!!! (think Minion voice..lol) I don't know about you all, but if you are nervous, afraid, skeptical, about to have a panic attack..hell whatever....STOP IT! Think about what you had to do to get to this point. If you have a surgery date, HORRAY! If not...keep kicking it sister or brother, YOU....WILL...GET...THERE!

With that being said, In preparation for my surgery, I'm writing my body a farewell letter. Farewell to the things I despise, and Hello to the NEW and IMPROVED, heathier, more vivacious, "Divafied", Cant-tell-me-nothing-because-I-have-it-going on, downright SEXY CurlyDiva!

Soooooo

Oh, and don't fret dear flabby arms...I haven't forgotten about you all either. No longer will I be self concious about wearing halter tops and cute dresses because you stand in my way! It is HOT AS HELL in Louisiana, and I am ready to get into a gym and work you all OUT! Oh Sex drive....how I've missed thee, and I'm sure my husband has too, lol.

A new and Improved ME!:D

What an awesome idea. On the Biggest Loser, they record the "old self" telling the new self to keep going and why. I might try that too...record myself telling myself how I feel and to keep up the work.

You go, CurlyDiva! I like that letter idea. And really like the video one too, ReJoyce. I LOVE to watch the Biggest Loser, so I think that video thing they do would be a very good motivator for me when I start going backwards with my eating. It should get me back on track quickly to see myself with that extra weight, and in so much sadness 'cause knowing me, I won't be able to do it without tears coming down. :blink:

LOVE IT!!!! I actually stood in the mirror and spoke to my fat.. each individual area and said my goodbyes.. LoL! I wasn't nice about it either. This has been a horrible relationship from the start! It's OVER!

Well said hun! ;)

ALL the best to you on your journey!! :rolleyes:
