First leg of my journey

Well I attended my first seminar tonight and was overwhelmed at the
warmth and friendliness of everyone there. I very much enjoyed the
speaker. I was a little nervous when I had to stand up and talk, I
always disliked that, even in school. But let me get going once I get
more familiar with everyone and you will have a hard time hushing me
up. lol. I am very much excited about finding out more about the
surgery. I know that I am very nervous, and yes even scared but only
because I have let myself down so much in the past with failed diets
and I know that with this surgery it is irreversible and when you
think about it why would you want it any other way? All I know is
this.....I'm tired of the weight, I'm tired of the aches in my frame
because of it, I WANT TO BE HEALTHY AGAIN!!!!! There is a thinner me
inside of this body and I want out. Now I won't say I will be
patient. That is not my best virtue. But I will try to refrain from
howling at the moon, or chasing my own tail, or throwing dishes while
I wait for scheduling, appointments and whatever else I have to
endure. I have always been one when I decide to do something I want
to do it then. Don't want to think about all the waiting.....JUST DO
IT! But good things come to those who wait. I just wanted to say that
Rona, your a super lady, and all the people who made Faces what it is
to you I give a big hand. I know one thing it will be a group I will
always be in touch with. Its kinda like looking up in the sky and
seeing the biggest brightest star and just being in awe. That is what
this group means to me...it is a star that brightly shines and shone
right into a world that has always been dark for me. The world of
being overweight where hope was something you gave up on and being
thin was just a dream. But now I have both. I have that hope and the
dream that can come true to be thinner, but most of all healthier.
Thank you Rona and everyone involved for helping to make our dreams
come true....................And now that I have written my book I'm
gonna sign off. Best skinny wishes to all.....Jo Jo
