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.

I'm not 20 anymore.

Went out with my best friend last week. We had great fun and stayed up until 4am. I paid for that for the next three days, I was so tired! I can't help but think that even though I am 44, no longer in my 20's, I should still have the stamina to enjoy a nice night out without paying for it like that. So now I am looking forward even more to losing weight, (and hoping that my stamina improves!) A couple of pics from that night:
