Default In one week

I know there are many truely wonderful ways that my WLS and weightloss will affect my childrens lives going forward.

But every now and again a superficial way is even better.

In one week we will be leaving to do something that my children would never have been allowed to do as children if it were not for the weight loss.

I could not have fit on a plane. My waist was 60" around.

I could not have walked the parks. I could hardly hold myself upright.

I could not have waited in lines. My legs were just not strong enough.

So instead I explained that the expense was too great. The lines too long. The commercials lied.

We were never going there.

Not anymore.

Disney World here we come.

9 days in Florida, 5 with the mouse. I can not wait. I think I am more excited than the kids are. (barely)

I am so grateful for my health, my new life, and everything that comes with it. But this is just as wonderful in a different way. This is a way that I can help my children be children. I know not everyone gets to go to Disneyworld. I know that not everyone gets to take a family vacation. When I was a child we never did. But I always wanted to. Now we can. I am so happy, so grateful, so....sigh...I wish I knew the word.

PLEASE please please if you are struggling, having a rough time, remember these six things, they got me here:

Sip Sip Sip
Walk Walk Walk

And yes I will bring back pictures.

I can not wait to get my ears

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Your post struck such a chord in me, I felt my eyes welling up... I'm tired of making excuses to my children too, and dreaming about how much better the quality of their lives is going to be is my #1 motivator. And you're not just dreaming about it; you've made it come true for you and your children... I'm so happy for you! Have a wonderful, wonderful time!!!

Have the most magical time of your life. You will have a blast. I've never been to DisneyWorld only Disneyland. It is such a special place. All the memories you'll bring home will be wonderful. Safe trip.
