I can't remember how many times I have told myself that in the past 15 years. It is so wonderful to finally living it. Never going back

We live on one of two roads leading to the schools here in town. This morning, when I took the dog out to pee, traffic was pretty heavy - like it is on a school morning when the school buses and carpoolers rumble through.

And it made me realize: when the school buses start rolling again......I'll be postop!

I hear ya. I tell myself that every day. I haven't bought new clothes in months because I refuse to spend another penny on clothes until I lose some weight. I am still enjoying this summer but am definitely looking forward to the months ahead. My OR date is July 15th and I start my liquid diet on the 5th and I am actually looking forward to this.

Yes ma'am!!! This is my first "not fat" summer and it's great. I have about 25 -30 lbs to go but its nice not being self conscious at the pool. Keep up the positive attitude!!! Kathy

I'm with ya! I've said that for so many years but now I know its true!!

deleted_user 07/02/2013

It can happen for all of us...just determination and the belief that all things are possible!!
