Cool I have a confession

This may get a little long but please bare with me. It wasn't until last night and taking my before pictures that I realize the things I was doing.

1. I would not go into our guest bathroom because of the big mirror in there. It would not matter how bad I had to go, I would bypass that bathroom and use my bathroom in my bedroom. Why because I was too short to see the mirror and I didn't want to see what the mirror had to say back.

2. When we moved I refused to hang this beautiful picture mirror on the wall due to I didn't want to see my reflection each time I past it.

3. My husband brought me this digital camara for Christmas year before last and I loved taking pictures of other people and not me. For my 40th birthday some thought of a great idea of taking pictures of me at my birthday dinner with my own camera. You know I haven't touched that camera again until last night.

Oh my when I did look at those pictures I nearly broke down and cried. I felt like everything just came down and crashed on me all at once. After I finished feeling sorry for myself, I decided why am I crying. I have made a decision that is going to change my life and I should be proud. So guess what I hung my mirror up and this morning I blew myself a kiss in the mirror because I know that person that's looking at me is going to be gone for good and I am happy. Okay my confession is over...lol Thanks for listening all.

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.

Awwww come here and let me give you a hug girl!!!!!! I know we ALL have had that nasty ugly feeling before we did this. I HATED to look at myself in the mirror or pictures. But like you said....it's time to C E L E B R A T E girl!!!!!!!! Stand proud, because very soon you will begin to regain your self confidence back, LOVE to get the compliments, and LOVE to look at yourself. Sure, we still "feel" fat, but it is an awesome feeling when you make it to the loser's side.

Congrats on taking steps forward. You deserve a pat on the back for realizing those things and taking control. You are in for a great ride, hang on... it won't be long and you will begin to like what you see in the mirror.

Thank you all for you encouraging words. Just hanging that picture felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. My nerves have been put aside and now I am all smiles and can't wait for Monday. Wooohooo it's almost here. Just a few more days and I will be joining you all on that losers bench.
