Hello all,

After a post that I previously had stating my various issues with my weight, I have decided to make an appointment with the doctor. It had to be one of the hardest calls to make. I was both nervous and happy at the same time. Numerous times I said....naaa...I can diet and walk my a$$ off. I can lose the weight (and put it back on). Yup....almost tricked myself into the ole diet thing as always. I want to note that people that responded back to me gave me the extra push I needed in order to see the doc. I am not doing this for anyone but myself and my family I must note. I want to live a completely different life. I am frightened and nervous as heck. I guess it is the unknown that kills me. I am a person who likes to know what is the outcome and what will I experience. With the band you do not know how you will react until you do it.

Thanks everyone for the support and listening to my so called confession.....forgive me father for I have ate speech.

Never the less....it is off to the doc on Tuesday. We will see.....
