My name Is Sean and I decided that I wanted to start living again. I feel that for the past 25 years or so that I have been merely walking around and not involved in this world, due to my weight. I decided that this is the time and i am determined to make it happen.
I still have so many more things that I want to do in my life and this weight is not going to hold me back. After years of trying different conventional and non-conventional diets, i decided to look into surgery. this was a last resort for me, because i always thought that was for people that you saw on TV talk shows that had gotten too big to leave their house. Now I realize that it is for anyone who is obese and cannot do it alone.
I know there are people out there that will probably judge me for having this surgery, but i could care less about what others think! I have spent too many years worrying about what other people think of me. It is time for me to start living again.
I was one of those people that would pray for "WILL POWER", but it never came. So, finally I stopped and just started this process on faith. I lost my sister in 2008 due to her weight and I do not know if I will ever get over that. We were so close. I was asked recently by my friend "what do you want to happen after you have this surgery done?" I responded by saying, i want to do something that I haven't ever been able to do LIVE! I am not going to tell you that I would not like to look better, because i would like that, but more imortantly i want the little things in life that so many of us take for granted (i.e., walking, traveling, socializing).
I am ready to begin my journey and start a new path. One that leads to a life that i can be proud of. It starts 5/12/21. GOD BLESS!
