Default A Wow for me

WEll I dont know if you would really call this a wow moment but to me it was. My dad had gotten me a gift certificate to a brand new million dollar spa that is at this casino near their home. He gave it to me for all my hard work and said he was proud of making a major life decision and taking control of my life. WEll I had a massage. Never had one before. Man I loved it. Wasnt thinking too keenly on the idea but heck I would go back in a heart beat.
But they gave you these nice robes and slippers and then you did the steam room, then a shower, then the sauna, and another shower. Then you went into this really warm jacussi tub. Then after all that then they called you in for the massage. It was an hour long the massage.
Like I said, I probably would have never done this for myself but since my dad had gotten it as a reward to me I went and did it. I never would have let someone give me a massage before sugery but now that I am 97 pounds lighter I didnt feel as self conciense.
All in all it was a nice treat.

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.

It is very hard to wrap my brain around. Some days it still seems like a dream to me. I know I am wearing smaller clothes and feel so much better but many days I am still the fat girl. I guess as they say, it takes our brains a while to catch up with us.
