Takeoff!!

This is it. I am packed and ready to go. Only 6 oz of clear liquids until 10:30 am, so I have just a cup of black coffee in my system. Extra strength expresso black gold to keep me going.

I have been overwhelmed by the immense outpouring of good wishes by friends and family. I think everyone understands how important this is to me and what a drastic change it will make in my life. I am hoping that right now this will be the heaviest weight (and most unhealthy) I will ever be for the rest of my life. But I still can't wrap my head around being a normal weight. I can't even imagine being 75 lbs lighter, much less 150.

But today it is not about that. Today is about making sure I tell everyone how much I love them and appreciate the support. Today is about not living in regret. No matter what happens, I can never say I regretted my decisions.

I'll see you on the other side!
