Big Decision

 I am going to have Gastric Bypass surgery. I am turning in my paperwork by the end of Feburary. I hae weighed over 250 for about a year and it stinks. I have been overweight since I was 13 and I eat out of boredom and sometimes emotionally. This surgery is going to break my food addiction and help/force me to lose alot of weight. How much I dont know. Its exciting to think about all my new possibilities though. I will get a big fresh start. I can imagine running up the stairs and not getting dizzy. Running around playing soccer with my son! Not sitting down to cook dinner cause me feet hurt so bad. These are all very happy thoughts for me. I am so ready.


I would like to share this journey with you. I know there will be ups and downs and I think it will be very good for me to write all of this thing down. It will be good for me and maybe good for you. Maybe your thinking of doing it too. I want to be as prepared as possible and I bet you would too.

Thanks for reading!

Oh and thanks Tami for thinking I should do this!

I'm so excited for you, Ash! You are so young and you are gonna bounce back so quickly. I wish I was there so I could be more supportive than I am now. I'll do my best!
