21 Days - What Goes Up Must Come Down!

Sir Issac Newton was talking about gravity when he said "What goes up must come down" and in I way so am I.  Planes go up, they come down, toilet seats go up they always come down well my weight goes up and it goes down but the difference is this time it will remain down.  I am determine actually lets just say stubborn enough to make this succeed.  It's been difficult and I am sure there is more difficult times to come but I am so pumped about this surgery and the weight loss and just feeling generally better health wise that I am confident I will make leaps and bounds with the whole process.  Now I am not saying things will be easy I am just saying that with the motivation and will power that is energizing me right now I believe I am going to soar.  I don't anticipate trouble or complications but if those things arise I am confident that the excellent team from the Bariatric Clinic will handle it.  Dr. Reed is performing my surgery and though he may not be the most fantastic "warm fuzzy" kind of guy he is the best and knows exactly what he is talking about.  Benjamin Franklin said "Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen.  Keep in the sunlight" so like the words of the song "let the sunhine in, face life with a grin Smilers never lose and frowners never win."  There is so many positive things to look at: weight loss, energy, health benefits, financial benefits (buying normal sizes is way less money), general feeling of well being, confidence and emotional strength.  As the days seem to slide away and I realize that it is just 3 weeks until the surgery I become more and more excited.  What an opportunity!  What a chance!  I can restart my life....improve my health, look younger, feel better.  I think I will set another goal that I will participate in some kind of walkathon- or race within the next two years.  I am looking forward to my new body, my new life......It's a new me!!!! It'll be a smaller package but remember firecrackers and dynamite come in small package...lol....that is my warning to all!  I am so excited that I am explosive with energy.  Can't wait to be back at the gym....have to have one more ultrasound and then I can head back.  I am ready to run....well at least walk fast!  Have a great Friday night folks and I will talk to you all tomorrow.
