Well I got through the holidays and I am about 10 pounds to show for it also. I have 28 more days to get through before me first appointment. It is dragging sooo slowly!!! I wish I could just put it out of my mind till then but I can't! The real hard part right now is that the only person that knows I am doing this is my husband. I haven't told my family or friends yet. I am waiting to see if and when it will all happen. I am thinking of not telling them till a week or so before my date. The reason for this is that I know the reaction I am going to get. The few family and friends that are close to me will be great about it, but there will be a few that will give me a hard time. The ones that will give me a hard time will do so only because they are also over weight and don't have the courage of this. That's what I think anyway. So for right now I am not saying anything. I am not sure what I will tell my girls. I don't want them to think that the way someone looks is so important. If anyone has any ideas on what to tell them it would be helpful. I will update again in a few weeks. God Bless Us All!!!!!! Laura Beaton

Hi! I finally decided to do it!! I made my first appointment to see Dr Ameri. It's not till Jan 31! :-( I can't wait!! The days are going by so slow. My husband is also excited for me. I have been over weight most of my life. Have done all the diets that are out there. I have two little girls and I don't want them to have to grow up with a fat unhealthy mommy. My oldest is 8 and a few weeks ago was eating some cookies and she was eating to many of them. I told her to put them away that she had enough. She looked at me and said "Don't worry Mommy, I won't get fat like you" I almost fell over. I didn't know what to say to her. I realized at that moment that it was time to do this. So here I am. I have a really good feeling about this. If anyone have any information that would help me with the process I would love to hear from you!!! I will update after my appointment with Dr Ameri in Jan. Thanks for reading...Laura Beaton
