To Dream the Impossible Dream

For thirty years now I have been fighting obesity. Getting to a normal weight has been an impossible dream for me. I have fought obesity with diets, exercise, pills, and prayer. The appetite demon eventually won every battle. Now I dare to dream that impossible dream once more. I have a date March 21, 2005 and just maybe with the help of a surgeon's tiny sword, I will beat my unbeatable foe. Jan

Your dream is about to come to! Best wishes for a uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. Laura R

Your dream is not impossible. I know because I am living it. I am at a "normal" weight. I never ever thought I would get to this size. My goal was 10-15 pounds higher than this. All I wanted was to be healthy. I got more than that. I have a much improved quality of life now. Good luck!

The dream is not impossible. I am smaller now than I was in Jr. high. and feeling better than any teenager, or at least the teenager I knew. It is a battle but it is much worth the work this time. I wish you all the best - you will be melting soon. Dawn -119

It is not impossible. I had mine 11/23 and am down 60lbs, I feel better than I have in years. No more back pain, no more knee pain and I sleep 100% better. Hey, I even signed up for a 1/2 marathon, so dreams can come true!

Dawn, I love your new picture. You have really come a long way and look GREAT!! Congrats, Sue
