WHY....................................
The journey to this point:
For so many years I have been overweight in fact my first memories start with
me being bigger than all the other kids. I first started dieting when I was 10
years old, then in my teen years and many diets under my belt in my adult years.
I had heard about bypass surgery about 10 years ago, I asked my doctor about it
and talked to one of her patients that had it done and she said it was a whole
different life style to get use to, she said she always had to be by a washroom
and she mentioned other things that did not seem to be promising. Three years
ago I decided to start my internet research about bypass surgery I got a lot of
good information and about 1 ½ years ago, I met one of Dr Amson patients she
told me what her experience has been like and how it changed her life. I could
relate to the things she was telling me.
Why this is the answer for me:
It’s interesting for me that I spend so much of my time encouraging people to
make changes in their lives and I tell them they are not alone and that I can’t
do the work for them but I can be there biggest cheerleader. Well it’s time to
take my same advice and face my biggest barrier with the same strength that my
clients take on to deal with their barriers. WHY the surgery because it is the
hand that I need to help me with my weight loss. Having the surgery and my
weight loss experience will be a sure thing, if I keep up my end of the deal, it
will be successful (not I hope it will be). I know I not only owe myself the
freedom of the weight this time but I owe my daughter and my husband the gift of
me being around for as long as I can be and right now I haven’t fulfilled my
commitment. The approach I am taking this time is loving me for who I am and the
way I look, but striving for the best I can get because I deserve it. It is a
work in progress. So this is why this time it is going to work and that is why I
want the surgery.
