seminar
Dec 09, 2008
so i actually made it to the seminar most of the things discussed i already knew thanks to my friends at obesity-help.com i really want to thank all of you for answering my many questions it is to many to name but you know who you are i am going to call tomorrow to set up my consultation i also have to get some blood work done and a mental health evaluation i cant believe i actually am doing this i am nervous inside my skin and nothing is happening quite yet but i am still a little nervous maybe exited i have been really in pain from this kidney stone i am taking tramadol it works but it makes me feel dizzy and a little itchy after the seminar i had to stop on the side of the road on our hour drive to get some air but i made it home safely i never realized what it means to have kids cause i never had any until now my foster daughter and son ages 6 months and 4 months but the point is it felt good to actually come home after been gone for a while and see there faces they have changed my life so much i am gonna get healthy not only for me for them and the rest of my family i miss out on so much because i feel that i am to fat to do most of the things like riding rides at the theme parks i am afraid i can fit in the seats or the bars wont fit around me or those little bars at the ticket entrance i have to turn sideways to go through them but soon that will be a closed chapter in my life good night oh family

Nov 17, 2008
well today is a new day and i feel better than yesterday i want to thank all those who made me feel better by reponding to my blog by email or comment. I especially wanna think my brother in-law. He has been such a big help in my life i just wish that my sister will treat him right, before he leave. cause she dont act right he is tring to take care of her and she act like she scared of him but it is alittle late to be scared she is pregnant from him he ask all the time do she want something or what she need these youngins' these days got issues i just understand when you have someone trying to take care of you you give thm your butt to kiss maybe one day she will grow up the baby is still doing good my other sister she has or talks to a young man that i really dont like je has not done anything to me but it is just a feeling or a vibe i really dont like about him today has been a pretty good day.
