Hi !!
Today is July 29th 2008. I am begining a journey towards a new life. One I finally feel I deserve. I have lived many years with yo yo dieting ..I remember going on a diet at 8 years old because I was the chubby one. I am sure my story can connect with many others . It is filled with tears, shame, embarrasment, faking being happy, uncomfortable moments, self disgust and the longing to feel good. I am worn out - I gave in after my daughter was born almost 2 years ago to just be fat with a splash of slim downs here and there. Recently I hit a wall -- I saw my daughter in the pool with her aunt and uncle -- I refused to get in a suit. WOW - that hurt . That was suppose to be me in the pool with her , enjoying her giggles and seeing her enjoy herself. That day I broke down to my family and explained how I truly felt. I found Journeylite through research and after many days and nights reading and educating myself I made the decision to go for it. My insurance excludes this treatment/durgery and my husband and family said "it will happen , we will make it happen". I am smart, educated, surrounded by wonderful people, have a beautiful happy daughter and loving husband -- it is time to enjoy all of this instead of constantly thinking about how my size hinders my health and happiness. I go to the seminar August 6th.. my Consult and Eval on August 13th and hpefully from there my surgery will be sooner than later.
Marcy H. with Journeylite is an angel and I can not wait to meet you!!!
Marcy encouraged me to document this journey and I am going to .. for mysel, family and friends as well as someone feeling the pain of being obese. I will post pictures soon -- I only hav headshots or I am not in pistures -- go figure I am avoiding the camera :)
Life is changing and finally for the better...
Amy
