I'll FINALLY be HAPPY!! Yeah, right!

If anyone thinks losing weight will mean they are finally happy... that weight loss is all it will take to make them happy, they are in for a total surprise!
As I was driving to my therapy appointment the other day I realized I AM happy NOW! I have a wonderful family, a man who loves me (yeah, he drives me batty sometimes... but he loves me!) three fine sons, extended family that is a wonderful blessing! I am going to college and pursuing my dreams for once in my life... our bills are paid... there is food in the kitchen (sometimes too much! LOL!) and I have peace in my life. This was not always the case, but it is true now... has been for some time.
Surgery will add to the quality of my life by allowing me to lose these extra pounds. Being thinner will make grad school next year more bearable... I will not have to worry about being out of place due to my size. And a million other things that thinner will bring me. But it won't bring me happiness. I must find that within myself and I am doing pretty darn good at it these days :)
