Whose life is it anyway?

I have a pressing question on my mind. Why can't we accept who we are? Why are we constantly on a quest to make a change? We want to change the way we look, change the way we dress, change our personalities, change our careers, and in essence, change who we are. I know that change is inevitable, but when is it too much?

I just recently had weight loss surgery...lap band because I have been trying to lose weight for years and diets weren't working for me...neither was my will power for that matter. But to be completely honest...I only wanted a flat stomach...or not look like I'm a month overdue...I just want to look good in my clothes without having to over do it (hair, nails, accessories, make-up). I don't want to have to blouse my shirts and not have a double belly. Okay, maybe surgery was warranted.

But there were many people in my life who thought I didn't need to have surgery...mostly men. But these are men who professed interest in me, but not enough to make a commitment. What gives them the right to voice an opinion? Nothing!!! They have no right.

Bottom line is...I'm gonna do what I want to do and what's best for me.
