A moment of scary...

Sometimes, when looking down the long road that gastric surgery to correct obesity, I get encouraged and sometimes I get scared.

Will I be the person who will be able to make serious life changes forever? Will illness (diverticulitis) set me back?

I have been circling this problem tonight like a dog circles when consumed by the madness of rabies.

I keep coming back to this:

I HAVE ALWAYS FAILED AT WEIGHT LOSS

I have done a lot of things in my life, however, that I have not failed at. I have raised three kids to adulthood and have three fledglings still in the nest. I have done a lot of things that I have been successful at. Just not weight loss.
