It is getting close now - close enough that I can almost believe this is going to really happen. Maybe reality will set in on Monday, when I start clear liquids for two days - pre-surgery. Maybe it will become real when I wake up in the recovery room when a pain in my belly, and fighting off the grogginess of the anesthesia. Or maybe it will become real when I can start marking off small goals...10 pounds lost, 25 pounds lost, 50 pounds lost...100 pounds lost!
Even more important will be the the time I can walk in the store and not be totally out of breath and worn out. Or when I will get to hold my niece's baby when he or she is born in August! Or when my husband says, "Do you want to go out?" And I can go because I WANT to go - not because I don't want to disappoint him.
