Health Is Worth Fighting For!

If at First you Don't Succeed....Try, Try, Try and Try until you can't try anymore..... Every since 2004, it was my dream to be under 200 lbs. Despite all my efforts, the goal was there but unobtanable for me. The Devil will stand there strong and proud, he will help bring you down and he will make you think that you are a failure. It is your inner strength, determination, and personal faith that will move you to where you want to go. My latest surgery on 6/4 has been a true test of faith.  I thought after my RNY in 2004 that NOTHING could compare to the pain that I had gone through- NOTHING..... (boy was I wrong)...  You ever hear folks say that the pain is so intense that they just wanted to die?  I used to be one of those folks who could not even comprehend or phathom pain to that magnitude?  Yet, I was blessed (yes blessed)  to experience that very pain on last Saturday.  I suffered from pain so accute, that the only way I could even imagine ending it was through a quick and swift death.  Imagine that? I say I am blessed, because I now truely value the meaning of life- as well as the true meaning of physical pain- I will not walk around so arrogant to believe that such things do not exist. Let me tell you, that Devil is no joke- He has had me at my lowest of lows- made me feel like I was a failure, and made me feel that I could not make it no matter how hard I tried- Yet I pushed on. The things I have had to do to be where I am today would test Job, yet I still stand- How important are you to you? If tested, could you take the next step needed to make yourself a healthier you? I am still as determined as I was on August 12, 2004 to beat obesity, and to be healthy as I can.I refused to give up the dream that I can/could make it...which is why I chose revision- I will continue to work towards beating my personal war against obesity. With God by your side, you can do anything!
