I'...I'm glad you're taking the plunge!<br /><br />I'm 32 now and I wish I had started back up a couple of years ago. <br /><br />Hmmm I don't know if I could be a SAHM, either. Up here I get a years mat leave aid and I want that, but I don't think we could afford for me to stay at home and I don't know that it would be good for me!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12120886921730599132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642936044407762415.post-59446377548315500242009-10-21T22:44:09.668-04:002009-10-21T22:44:09.668-04:00You know Brook....I was and am feeling stuck profe...You know Brook....I was and am feeling stuck professionally too...my decision just seemed to come at a time where I am making so many positive changes in my life...I have always felt compelled to do this and now I just realized that it is time!!<br />I also want to have a child within a couple of years, but I will never be the stay at home type (I truly respect those that can and do) I am just a career person.<br />It is just something that I know I have to do along with my weight loss!!<br />I think I am going to be pretty damn unstoppable.....hahahah!!pookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05169963316185548069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642936044407762415.post-35588128346628583402009-10-21T15:42:12.285-04:002009-10-21T15:42:12.285-04:00Wow- so happy for you.

But I have a mortgage and we want to have a child soon so the timing is bad. <br /><br />Were you considering going back to shcool before the surgery, or was the need to move forward brought on or reinforced by all the positive changes since surgery? Just curious.<br /><br />Sounds like you're doing great. Love catching up with you via the blog :-)Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12120886921730599132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642936044407762415.post-92130318777292722582009-10-20T14:30:10.791-04:002009-10-20T14:30:10.791-04:00Good for you getting your Master's Degree!

So glad I went this route, it was the right one for me. <br /><br />Keep up the good work!Genhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414571860592267584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642936044407762415.post-41875020154151304312009-10-20T05:04:55.992-04:002009-10-20T05:04:55.992-04:00Last week I went to a support group and found it l...Last week I went to a support group and found it less than helpful, but it was interesting hearing other's stories. Hopefully the dessert lady will figure it out...what a shame to not use the band as a tool.

I don't have it in Dubai (apart from blogging) and my family and friends are a 15 hour flight away! It's important to have it.....you are doing fab!Roohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340778893952565352noreply@blogger.com
