1,2,3, ....go!

Hi! A little about why I have decided to do this...I am in about a week going and having surgery, lap-band surgey to be exact so I thought I would chronicle my experiences that led to the big descision to have surgery and what happens to my life afterwards. Figured it would be a good way to keep interested people informed nd to inform maybe some people of the ups and downs ( hopefully more downs on the scales) of the affects of weight loss surgery.
Also because I know that beauty, at least true beauty, is not measured by pounds or inches or the whiteness of teeth or any other superfiscial meathod alone but comes from within. However it has been difficult at times for me to see that true beauty within me when the mirror reflects something the world in general would not consider even passable.
Over the last few years I have been on a tough journey, and the past year it was even tougher. That journey was to discover the me that others saw the me that my Heavenly Father knew and loved. So I will include thoughts of the past present and future to help discribe my journey over this next phase of my life.

True beauty can't be measured in Ibs... that's why even skinny people are blind and lacking in it.
