Im out and feeling hopeful!

Jul 15, 2009

Okay so to those who know me, my closest friends and family it may not be a big suprise but the news is I'm a little more than pleasntly plump.But I finally came out of the closet and told several people that I am over the 400 mark. Here I stand not sure of my weight, it has been well over a year sense my last weigh in. The last scale I got onto mesured my weight at 425. I hope I havent gained alot in that time. However, my family tells me they think I have acctually lost weight...humm...could be. I am a full time student who runs around like a chicken with its head cut off. God knows I lift weights aka two tons of books. Eather way I went to a Gastric Bypass Informational meeting at the local hospital In Salem Oregon. I feel like I have a foot in the door, I know this is what I want to do. I could care less about my weight as a number, but as a health factor that threatens to steel me away from my family, frirends and all the little joys of life. It really matters. I dont have insureance, but the hospital offers finacing for everythiung except for the Bariatric Surgeon Fees...I have no idea how much that will be, but I have to come up with that prior to the operation. My goal is to have this done by mid January...that is God willing. I also want to lose 50lbs, its gonna be hard...real hard for me but once again I have alot to live for! Well this is just the beging of my journey! Ill post more as I find out more!
