Day 1

Well, this is it.  I have started my new journey today.  I have prayed about it, and I have done research.  I truly think this is the answer for me.  I am ready to start this journey, and my first baby steps have been taken.

This morning I went to a seminar about weight loss surgery.  I have battled with weight my entire life.  I now have health problems due to my weight.  My diabetes and cholesterol should be eliminated through gastric bypass.  My back, neck, and jaw should become less problematic.  It will take away my cravings as well.

My biggest fear is my jaw.  I will no longer be able to take anti-inflammatory medicines, and that is the only thing that keeps the pain and tightness at bay.  I will have to do more research on natural remedies, and possibly consult another doctor about surgery to fix the problem.  I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

For now, I am making the necessary doctor's appointments and not drinking anymore soda.  Absolutely no soda.  I have done it before.  In college I stopped and didn't start again until a few of years ago.  It is my only way to consume caffeine because coffee and tea inflame my jaw.  I will probably have a major headache for a few days, but I know it will be for the best.

I am sooooo excited about my new journey!  I am absolutely ready for the change in lifestyle!  Bring it on!
