Hi All,
I'm looking to meet people that can help inspire me as much as I can help inspire and motivate them; people that are on the same page essentially.
Last week I had gastric sleeve surgery and it is changing my world. However, I'm finding that some of my friends and family are acting like they've lost a drinking buddy and inasmuch as I know they want to mean well, I'm not interested in being sabotaged.
My immediate goal is just to heal and recover from the surgery. But by Jan 2015 I want to be at my goal weight and I think I'd like to see if running works for me too. I do enjoy being physical but have always felt hampered by my weight. So now is the time for me.
I'm very excited about the changes the next year will hold for me!
