I spent the afternoon in the education class that all patients hoping to have gastric bypass surgery must attend. I went as support for a friend of mine in the process. And all I can say is GOD is AWESOME. He has changed my life and given me HOPE again. I am so thankful that He has changed my mind set and given me wisdom. I can almost NOT remember what it was like when food controled my life instead of God. I heard 100 times today if I heard it once, weight loss surgery is NOT the answer, it's just a TOOL. You have to want to do the work, you have to want to make the changes, you have to believe. The surgery just helps you in the beginning stay focused, but it won't do it for you. I heard people there that were ready to make a life change and others that even with surgery were going to struggle, because they haven't yet changed their thinking. I have been losing weight since 1983. I have lost hundreds, and gained thousands. This past year I awakened, I decided that living was worth more then a candy bar, that breathing was worth more then a sandwich. And all the credit goes to God, He is awesome and I am so thankful.~

I wish I could post more, but I am exhausted and have to go to bed. Have a great night and sweet dreams.
