I'm Coming Out-WLS

To all my friends & Family. I am starting a new journey in my life. I have kept quiet up until this point because I feel that most important life decisions are very private and personal. That being said I have been going to classes for roughly the past six months at Tufts NEMC in Boston. I have decided to have weight loss surgery. With all the family health problems associated with obesity such as diabetes, artthritis, heart attack, and stroke. I feel that it is time to finally get serious about weight loss and living a long, happy, healthy life.
My surgery is scheduled for September 11, 2012. I am both excited and nervous.
There are many pro's and con's to this surgery but for me the benefits outweigh the risks. I hope to blog frequently about my journey and I will be open to any questions   you might have about the surgery if you're just curious or possibly considering the surgery yourself. I have a few family members and friends who have had much success with this surgery and mostly I am hoping that I will get healthy enough to come off most of my medications so Chris and I can try again to have a baby.
All of you who know me know that I have pretty decent self esteem and an outgoing personality but I feel there are some goals in my life I put off due to being overweight. I want to go back to school to become an RN, I want to travel and see the world and most importantly I want to be a mom.
I thank you all for your love and support.

I'm Not a Dinosaur Hunter

Been feeling some type of way. It's 2014 and we have literally everything we could ever need at our fingertips. why then is there more depression, and mental duress than ever? On some strange emotional scale human beings seen to be becoming more and more disconnected every time we plug in or log on to some other amazing new technological device. If you don't know something; Google it. "Google" is no longer a search engine but also an adjective. Are we getting smarter or is that just something we tell ourselves to stay lazy and comfortable wrapped up in our tiny worlds of ipods and instagram? Having coffee with a friend has given way to "snap chats" and Skype. Kids would rather take selfies than take a walk outside. Our society is addicted to social media and more narcissistic than ever. I am guilty of it and it makes me sad. This is not who I dreamed I would be when I was a kid. I thought being an adult was going to be awesome but mostly it's a conf...

Life rhythm: I ebb , I flow Windows are closed and I can't find the door. Bouncing like a dropped rubber ball ricocheting against every wall. Over and over I come and I go Never finding that place to call home. It burns and I harden like lava to rock Ticking and chiming I run like a clock. Running and running but staying in place Holding back my words trying to save face. Tears replace anger and make it all worse I don't cry because I'm weak I cry because it hurts.
