Hello!

Welcome to my blog!



What inspired me to write this blog? Well, I have decided that I am going to undergo Lapband surgery. The reaction I've gotten from my nearest and dearest has been mixed. Mostly people just seem to be uncomfortable, and I'm talking about people I've known for years that I've shared deeper things with than this silly little thing. So, that got me to thinking (stand back!), why? Why should people be made to feel uncomfortable about something that is a good thing? Well, the only conclusion I can some to is that they feel bad because being supportive of me would mean they would have to acknowledge that I am, indeed, fat. But you know what? I know that already!

I have decided to have Lapband because I'm just sick of being fat. I have tried every diet known to man. I can lose about 10% of my body weight and then I plateau and can't go past that. That won't work because I have 110 pounds to lose people!!! So, I've decided that Lapband is for me. I don't view it as a cure all, but as a tool to help me consume less and therefore lose the large amount of weight I need to and keep it off. I'm very excited about it and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm having it done. As I've said, I'm obese! That is a problem, not only social and mentally, but physically as well. Obesity is a disease, and any disease deserves treatment...I'm ready to make a change.
