Welcome to 2010

Happy new year to everyone!
I am so excited for this year because this is the year that my life is really going to change. This is a scary thing, but something that I am so committed to. I know that I need to make changes in my life and I am determined to do that this year.  I am glad that you decided to read my blog. My hope is that you will continue to follow me on this journey. My desire is that we can all help each other to make better choices and be healthy.

Many people have asked me why I decided to have bariatric surgery. You may be thinking that this is the easy way out. It really is not. I think one of the misconceptions is that the surgey is a magic pill that will automatically make me lose weight. I am going to work just as hard and be just as committed to diet and exercise. This surgery will help me to lose weight so that I can get out there and do those things. I have been heavy my whole life and I want to change that. Please join me as I begin this journey. Together we can encourage each other and make changes to lead a healther lifestyle!
