Building support system

Jan 23, 2011

I have made my decision and am ready for the journey.  I want so badly to be the person on the outside that I am on the inside, a woman with good health and happiness.  I have a job I love but I need to learn to to make myself active while doing my loved sedentary job.  My journey to good health is going to be long road but I keep telling myself that my new life will have so many positive feelings attached to it that I can figure out how to add excercise and activity.   Dale is supportive of my deicision to have the surgery even though he does not understand how I could take the risk he has committed to helping me as I journey forward toward good health and a slimmer, strong body.
My friend Jules has battled the weight as well and will be an awesome support.  I plan to tell few people what I am doing.  I am a work at home nurse so most of my peers rarely see me so when we have a meeting at the office after the surgery they might notice less of me.  I also plan to tell my friend Charlie who has thought about lap band due to his battle with his weight.  He will be an awesome support and I have valued his support for so long that I cannot imagine doing this without him.
My challenge is that my family has basically decided to separate themselves from me totally.  That is hard so I am making myself a new modern family because family is in your heart and they are your support system.. and if my biological family can't support me I will build a family here and within my circle of friends.  So my countdown begins and I am trying to change habits and learn to drink water before.  I am weaning off diet soda and plan to be caffiene free before surgery.  HERE I COME... NEW BODY, NEW Attitude and NEW LIFE habits...
