Thursday Thoughts

Mar 13, 2014

I got home from work today and saw the "Bag of What Goes With Me on Tuesday" and had a flashback to pre-labor with my son over 30 years ago. You know, that bag you were told to pack at about, I don't know, a month or so before expected birthdate,  to take to the hospital with you when you went into labor. It made me giggle, what a lovely memory.

And then, I thought....WOW, that is how long my body has held on to this weight. I packed that "bag" and kept adding to it over the years, long after my son and then my daughter were delivered into this  world.  Over 30 years of struggling to conquer my weight issues. The issues themselves have changed over the years but there nonetheless.

Tuesday, my bariatric surgeon, Catherine Boulay of Salem, OR and her careful team are scheduled to give me the tool I will use the rest of my life to lose weight and keep it off. 

I am grateful, I am compliant, and I am so ready.

Loser's Bench....move OVER!
