it's here. the new year. actually it's come and gone. i mean, it is the 3rd. speaking of which...today is the birthday of a very very dear friend of mine. the friend that inspired me to get the lapband. she got hers in sept of 2009 (i think that was it) and when she did it i was soooo negative. i told her it was stupid, the "easy way out", and that i'd never do such a thing to myself. after the surgery i was supportive though. and i watched her lose. and i found myself jealous. very jealous. then i started thinking.... then i started researching. then i started talking to her about my feelings about it. and then i made the decision. she was sooo supportive and did remind me here and there about my previous feelings about the band. but today i'm 56 pounds lighter and i can say it's the best thing i ever did. and i never would have done it had it not been for her. my friend. my sister by friendship. she recently moved to alaska (we're military wives) and i do miss her so! sniff sniff.
ok..... lemme get a grip here.... lol
so it IS the new year and i just went and read up and commented on some of ya'll's blogs. i'm gonna try to be better blogger this year. =)
so the scale says i've gained three pounds over the holidays. but i'm gonna get back to where i was and i'm gonna get even lower than that. i'm determined. i'm ready and i'm gonna do it! my band is here to help me and i love it!

You'll knock out those three pounds in no time! How cool that you have someone in the "real world" to help you in your journey. Thank you for sharing that you weren't very supportive of her to begin with. That gives an interesting perspective to many people who have faced opposition from people in their lives.
