When I originally decided to have gastric bypass surgery I made weight loss goal. As usual, I am going to be completely honest and tell you that I NEVER thought I would actually make it to my goal.
It isn't that I did not believe in myself. I just did not want to get my hopes up. I have heard so many difficult stories from people that had this surgery and seen so many that started off like a rocket only to fail that I just needed to protect myself.
Total I am officially 1 pound under my goal. It has been almost exactly 7 months. I have had some very difficult months; however I am very proud. For those who think that the surgery does all the work - dead wrong.
I have additional goals for myself on this journey. I even have things in my habits I still need to correct. It is a life long journey. A journey I am so glad I decided to take. I have children that I want to see have children. I want to teach all of them what eating well and working out does for more than just your body, but you mind. I want to live.
