So I am 5 days away from surgery to have a lap band inserted. I will get brave enough to post before and after pics....but I must say I have always been a skeptic about the low carb thing...but I can't lie I feel better and the junk does not appeal to me as much anymore...Hopefully my family will feel the same when it is all said and done....
I will confess, I love Christmas cookies...I am missing those right now...but the long term outcome is worth the sacrifice and diligence...My plan is to document my journey, weight loss, recipes, pros and cons and basically hold myself accountable for what I am embarking on...I plan that by October 5th I will be running my first marathon!
There is a song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG6Aa3DIg9Q here is the link by Mandisa. I know that she has overcome her weight struggles. I know that this song is referring to the Atonement and the sweet gift of forgiveness that comes with it...But I think it is applicable to walking away from the things that bring you down. I believe that with His help I can overcome this...It is all about balance in life. My goal is to find that balance of being a happy, contented godly woman, a wife, and a mom. This is my journey.....
