Skinny me ready to come out!

Well, I have decided to have Gastric Bypass. I begin my liquid diet Wednesday Feb 27th and my surgery is scheduled for March 13, 2013.
This is one of the most important decisions of my life. I have a great support system and that is what will help me.
Nothing special to share about myself that made me make this decision other than just fed up with the way I look and feel. There is a skinny me inside of this Plus Size body and she is ready to come out.

As I posted last year, my BFF, Bobbie Joe had this surgery and she looks amazing. It probably would have never crossed my mind if she had not had the surgery. As I explained in the last post, she and I have always been the same size, we supported each others "bad habits". Now when I look at her and see how great she looks I want this!!

I have another friend that will be having the surgery one week before me. She has already began the liquid diet.

My goal is 150, I will not tell my current weight, just because it's...well, personal for me at this time. I will probably not hesitate to tell once I begin losing!

Wish me luck and please say a prayer for me March 13th.

Thanks.

I will keep you posted.

My BFF, just skinnier

Just clearing my mind.. Super super proud of my BFF Bobbie Joe. She had gastric bypass a few months ago and is looking GREAT. Her dedication through this process has been out of this world. It wasn't easy for her. We have both been the same size since Elementary School. Her weight has been an issue with her for years now. She is such a beautiful women and with or without her weight problem and I have always thought that.
She did this for her and she is proud of herself too. It took alot of guts and courage to do what she did. She has inspired me to lose this weight and look and feel better.
I am not going to do the surgery but I will excercise and eat better. She can't be hott and me not!
I love you Bobbie.....you are an awesome friend. You have been with me through everything in my life and I am greatful for that. I couldn't make it without you!
God put you in my life and we will always be BFF's!

I don't remember it being this bad

My daughter is now in 2nd grade. I never in a million years thought 2nd grade would be so difficult. Homework every single night...she does give them a break on Fridays. I am not a happy person during the week knowing we have 2 hours of homework to do and neither is my poor child.
I don't remember it ever being so much homework when i was little.
I am tired just thinking about what's waiting at home tonight.

family, speak for not to speak.

You know, I remember being a teenager. I also remember how difficult it was. We have a large family, lots and lots of neices and nephews!
The ages range from 1 yrs old to 33.....it's pretty wild!
We have realized that we, as Aunts, cannot control them. We haven't tried to control them, just guide them. I figured that was one of my repsonisibilities as an Aunt.
My 13 yr old neice decided to curse on FB alot this past year........13!!
So, my sister(not the mom) and I thought that we would correct her and ask her to please stop, not only is it embarrassing to us, it can also hurt her in the long run.
The last time we confronted her with it, she said it was "her facebook and she should be albe to express herself as she pleases". No support from her mom, which makes even more difficult for us. Mom thinks it's good that she expresses herself...Expressing oneself is great, but when you talk bad about someone else and curse and putting your business out for everyone to see is not!
So she deletes us (family) and keeps her old FB, creates a new FB and requests us to be her friends.......NOT!
We are not stupid..
So, from here on out, we will keep our mouths closed, no longer worrying about what they do. we will focus on our own immediate family and no one elses!

I feel aweful! I haven't posted in over 2 weeks nor have I commented/read any postings.
SORRY!
It has been really busy these past few weeks.
A couple of weeks ago, my side kick at work, Kim, became very ill and admitted into the hospital..I worked double time and was beat.
She is better! I realized while she was out how great she is and such an asset to our office. I had to re-learn all I trained her..weird.
Last week some friends of ours that once lived across the street came to visit, Daniel, Amber and Emma Hamby.
Daniel was the very busy State Trooper for NHC last year. His wife Amber and I became very close while they lived here and Emma (5) and Mallory were BFF's.
It was so sad when they moved and we ALL cried.
Mallory knew that they were coming b/c we had talked about it several weeks ago but she had forgotten...So when Emma walked thru the door, she called out "Mal Mal"!! (she used to call Mallory) and Mallory was in her room. Her eyes lite up and she looked at me and said, "Who was dat"? I, of course, said that I didn't know....She got up and peeped around the corner and saw Emma, took off, and wrapped her little arms around her....It was so precious and brought tears to my eyes.
Mallory talks about Emma at least 3 times a week, especially when we are outside and she can see the house they once lived in.
We had a great time with them Thurs and Friday...they played so well together.
Amber and I were able to sneak away and get our Nails done and catch up.
**
Darleen and I have been practicing a little bit for our Non-Talent show that we were talked into doing for Relay for Life....OMG! This is so crazy!.We will look like idiots Saturday.
She hurt her neck as we were practicing and can't get it straight...just pulled a muscle...I told her NO EXCUSES!
Glad that it will be a pretty weekend.........bye.
