Day 11
on August 24, 2012 6:55 am
 Day 10 ended with an emotional, crying melt down on the phone with hubby. Since before I started the diet my Mom and Aunt (Mom's sister), have constantly being saying to me you're going to be so beautiful when your face gets skinny and your skinnier and that your true beaufy will show. Also, you will be pretty again like when you were younger, (younger meaning 10 and under). I finally said to my Mom yesterday when she said all that once again, "What am I ugly now?" I think I stund her because she was speakless and her mouth dropped a bit. They also say Ed's (hubby of 16 years and together a total of 20), is really going to love you. He met and married me at this weight. It's just so hurtful even though I know they mean well. I felt sorry for Ed when I had the melt down because he felt helpless being 6 hours away. Thank goodness he will be home in a couple of hours. I can really use one of his hugs.
Day 11 I'm still feeling down about Mom and Aunt. It doesn't help I was up most of the night with the thunder storm. I know once ed walks in the door I will feel better. It's just been a long, lonely 14 days without him. Lets see what the rest of the day has in store

Day 10
on August 23, 2012 9:06 am
 Woke with energy day after my head battle yesterday. Todays battle wanting a piece of BBQ steak.
One thing I did realise yesterday however is how much I miss cooking. it's not so much the eating I miss it's the cooking. Made Mom a pork chop dinner last night. It didn't bother me at all cooking and watching her eat it. I love how much she enjoyed it. So for tomorrow if supper is home from work I plan on making him that bbq steak I'm craving. I think I just want to smell it. LOL

My Story

I'm 38, soon to be 39 years old and want to live to see my 40th. I have fought the obesity battle since I was 10, like so many I have tried every diet there is known to man kind and excersised myself to death with no favourable outcome. Thanks to research and outstanding doctors they have developed WLS and I'm preparing for the journey. I have type 2 insulin dependant diabetes, arthritis, sleeping problems, depression, agression and very low self esteem. I am tired of living this way, I want to live a long happy and healthy live with my wonderful, caring, suppotive husband of 12 years. I'm in the beginning stages of getting research, paperwork and what not done. If there are any Canadians out there that can help me along with any information about OHIP, what the family doctor needs to do, ect. I would be very thankful.
Here's to a long healthy and happy life.
