THE FINAL SAY shots for days upon days after the surgery – not fun . Watching others chow on the delectables I used to shove down my piehole without taking a breath – sometimes not fun . But , all worth it . A little over six months later , my excitement and enjoyment of life is outweighing all other feelings at the moment – although , I know this story of all of my worries would likely prove otherwise .

But I share my worries because I think they are important to the overall story .

In the end , I ’ m ecstatic because I know getting this tool would help me reach my ultimate goal of not being an obese parent for my children . They are about to turn 3- and 1-year-old , respectively .

I ’ m glad I still have a little longer to push more weight off before they start to have true memories with their father that they ’ ll tell their kids about down the road , much like I had with my dad , and still do .

And , believe me , I ’ ve still got a long way to go to get to a “ healthy ” stage . My journey has just started .

In all , the real reason I ultimately decided to share this is so when someone else is struggling with the decision to change their lifestyle forever , that they know that they ’ re not alone .

It ’ s a lifelong battle . I ’ m here to help . So are others . You are not alone .

You need the accountability . So do I . Because I ’ m an addict . And I ’ m happy .
