  Yippeeeeeeeeeee Rhonda!  You hid your announcement in the middle of another post.. i think this deserves an announcement all its own! CONGRATS girl! You are gonna kick butt! And I have my PS just 3 days after you have your wls! We can celebrate together!

Surgery date for Rhonda... Feb 5th!!!!!  whjat an awesome start to a new year and a renewed you!

Thank you Patrece. I had intended to come back and post a real announcement but was trying to catch up with everyone and only had a few minutes to be online. I'm online paying bills this morning and just popped over here for a minute to check on everybody. I AM very excited and I can't wait to begin my new life. You and I are gonna start 2010 off right aren't we?! I am so happy for you that you get that TT. Imagine,a flat belly. Actually, that is something so hard for me to imagine because I haven't had one since about age 3 : )  But if I am able to save enough money over 2-3 years, maybe someday I'll follow you. But for now, I'll be thrilled to just get the weight off and FEEL better. I can't wait to have more energy to do the things I want to do, not to mention the fun of buying cute clothes!!  i feel like since I now have a date, and know that this is for real, I can finally start telling people. Other than you guys, my immediate family and a couple of people at work I had to tell, I have not  shared my surgery news. I was afraid something would happen and it would fall through. But now, I can shout it from the rooftops if I want!! I told some of my extended family this morning and they are very happy for me, and very supportive. I know I will run into a few people who are naysayers, but I'm prepared for them. I'm doing this for me, to live longer and have a better, happier life. I know what I am doing and I know what I want!!! We ARE gonna kick butt, aren't we?!! You take care, Patrece, and have  a wonderful Christmas. We will be doing a lot of celebrating soon!

Hugs, Rhonda
