Made it through another day. Was sitting here thinking of how life will be as a skinny person again. Yes, again. I was thin till I was about 21. So thin that I was called "Olive Oil" Popeye's girlfriend. Around 31 I started gaining weight and never stopped gaining. It is sort of unbelievable after trying all kind diets that WLS will work and I will not be so fat and I will be healthier.

It's weird what the thought of the day was. Thought all day about loose skin. Rolls of it. Trying to figure out where to put it till I can have it removed. Really how do you guys handle all that excess skin? I guess all the fat gone and loose skin is better than one huge belly. I'm built like a pear. Got skinny legs so no problem with them, but all this belly. All day wondered how long I going have to put up with loose skin and what I supposed to do with it in the mean time.

Be nice to paint my toe nails and not to practically pull my arm out to reach my toes. Or how about making like a contortionist and cutting off the blood circulation in my legs.

Better days are in reach. I really like the suppportive emails I have been receiving, this is one journey I can't go through alone. Need all the support I can get. Every day is a challenge.

I can do this. I will do whatever it takes to be a healthier, thinner person.
