Well, tomorrow I leave for Brazil. I am all packed and ready to go. I have received so much support and encouragement from my friends, family, coworkers and even strangers.. I feel so lucky... so blessed!
Alecia and I will be flying out of Calgary at 12:20pm. I plan on sleeping on the plane if I can. I packed until 2am last night and tonight I will spend part of the evening having dinner at Debbie's place.
This trip is a big deal for me. I know people are doing this all the time now... I mean I will be meeting a bunch of people who will also be in Brazil at the same time getting the surgery. But this, for me is HUGE. I have made a lot of goals in my life and this one was always at the top... Well not exactly.. losing weight was always at the top.. and this is just a tool I will use to reach that goal. I know it won't be a perfectly smooth ride.. but I can handle it.. I keep telling myself that ;P
And so when I hug my friends and family good-bye at the airport tomorrow, I will also be saying good-bye to the old me... good-bye to the problems, good-bye to the old lifestyle, good-bye to the limitations... And then when I step off the plane back in Calgary on August 12th, I will be walking into my new and improved life.
I can't wait!

You will be missed while you are gone, but I think everyone understands.
I know I am cheering for the return already!.
It will all go well and you'll be back before we realize it.
