Everyone on Nov board

Check this out. Once we get over being so freaked out about this major electiive surgery we are all having done.... And God sees us through....We have to keep in mind how drastically we will melt down.... Incredible. So 20+ lbs a month is alot of weight for over 6 months and more. I am going to become half of what I weigh now. What kind of gift is that? A brand new life in so many ways. Awesome...to say the least. So ladies and gentlemen, I think we all ( I know) hacve alot of courage to choose this route. But in the long run, and in a very short time so many of our other health problems will go away for good. So that is a miracle. It has to be God's will. Just think how fantastic next summer is going to be. (((((( everyone ))))))) Cissy

Very well put Cissy..... Next summer will be awesome.... (((((((((((( HUG BACK ))))))))) Shawn M.

Amen to that. I thought this day would never come, but now in less than i week, I will have a date with destiny. Can you stand it?

If God brings you to it, he will see you thru it!

Ditto, ditto, ditto! I can't wait to run around next summer!

I couldn't have said it any better myself!!!! Next summer is going to be the BOMB!!! Have friends that have pools.........wouldn't go this year, always came up with an excuse not to go...................grany bar the doors next summer!!!!! I can't wait.

Oh for sure...next summer! I have already gone on line and printed out 5K, 10K and any fun run/walk information and application forms I can find starting in February of next year. I have booked a "beach" vacation for late March in southern California for an entire week. I am taking a racquetball class at my old community college beginning in mid January. I will start line dancing lessons in late January. Wow..this is gonna be so much fun! I want to go hang gliding. I am going to see about what is available here in Phoenix and if all else fails I know I can do the hang gliding thing from a beach in San Diego. I want to jump out of an airplane at least once. Hiking the Grand Canyon would not suck either!

Ellen you are just too cute. I am inspired by your inspiration. You go girl!! Cissy

Ellen, that's a great idea! I think I'll make a list too. It will help me to keep looking forward instead of suffering in the "poor me" syndrome. What a postive way to make it real. Before I read your post my goals were modest--fitting comfortably in a theater or airline seat, wearing better clothes (I refused to buy bigger clothes so I have only a few things to wear that fit me), or to go out in public without dreading running into someone who knew me last year when I was 70 pounds thinner! I like your *****! You rock, girl!

I cant wait to wear a pair of shorts next summer and actually go into a grocery store. To be proud instead of ashamed of what I look like in them.
