Life on the Losers Bench

I've been thinking about it for a long time. Every day I think about how much more time I'm willing to let slip by living my life in a way that doesn't make me happy. Why have I been okay with this for SO long? Well, really- I haven't been okay with it but I have made enough excuses to satisfy myself. Until recently.

Though my decision to have Gastric Bypass surgery hasn't been a hasty one, actually getting the process going has been a recent decision. Much thought, and research, has gone into making up my mind to do it. At first, I didn't want to tell anyone about it, save my husband and parents. Everyone who goes through this needs to have a good support system. This is a life changing event and I came to the decision today that the support I will need for the long haul will need to come not just from my husband and parents, but also the other people in my life. My friends will need to know so that they understand what my eating habits must be when we are together. My life will change, it will be important for those who care about me to understand that.

So, here will be the story of my journey as I travel along its path, the path to the Losers Bench.

Bucket List

Surgery is a long way off still, (given that I haven't even gotten my phone call to schedule my consultation with the surgeon) but I'm already finding myself creating a bucket list...of all the things I want to be able to totally chow down on for the last time, lol!


Steamed crabs
Orange Beef
Steamed dumplings
Chipotles burrito
Pot roast
Bacon
Cheese steak sub
Pizza
