writing, reading, movies. Things I want to do but can't because of my weight: horseback riding, walking on the beach, hiking, canoeing.

I'm praying for you, Missina. I don't live all that far from you. Maybe, one day, we can both ride horses together along the PNW coast.
The past is just that, the past, and in being past it is beyond our reach but I have heard it said that it's never to late to have a happy childhood. I will never be a youngling again but I can celebrate the child within whenever I make a good choice toward my daughter who just turned 4 yo.
Through my choices now, she's learning healthy eating and exercise. She's growing up loving strength training and hiking, mountain climbing and exploring. It gives me great comfort as I patiently melt the fat off of me, one day at a time, to know that she will never have to suffer the way I did as a child due to my ignorance and my family's lifestyle which led to obesity.
No matter what happens, I want you to remember that you are loved and supported. You can do it, I believe in you. Keep breathing.
You r doing very well! I am praying everything goes ok for your approval and surgery. I appreciate all of your comments of support. Its rough even after surgery to lose the weight. you are amazing for doing it pre-op. Keep on going girl!!

Thank you for the love... Here is some right back at you... Hope you have a great weekend.. ps: hugs come along with the love
I have been obese most of my life. I am finally able to go for gastric bypass, b ut I need to lose 40 pounds first. My weight goes up and down. I am trying to get my mind and emotions in check as well as my eating habits so that this surgery will work for me. I do not want to have to go through this and still not lose the weight or worse gain it all back.
I am planning on getting gastric bypass surgery. I am hoping to get a support system set up so I can be successful, and to learn some of the pitfalls
