Just blabbering on....

Does my eye look funny in my profile pic?  Honestly...sometimes, depending on what computer I'm on, I truly look like I'm related to Quasimodo.  Perhaps I'll change my pic.  I don't really look like that anyway.  It's 3 years old.  Since that pic was taken, I have probably gained 40 pounds, if not more.  $#*&!!!

I'm truly going through shopping withdrawl.  I vowed that I would not buy summer clothes this year and make do with the ones I have.  Only because I'm hoping this will be my last summer at this size.  Now I'm getting so tired of all my clothes...I really feel the need for some new ones.  But summer will be over in 4-6 weeks so I'm sure I'll manage.   

I went and got a haircut and colour today.  I seriously don't like my reflection staring back at me in the mirror.  Once again it comes back to that extra chin.   And although I love my stylist, she has never had a weight problem in her life.  Her biggest weight concern may be that extra 5 pounds she may gain over the winter months, she's gorgeous inside and out.  She knows I am on the waiting list for surgery, and recently when I've gone to see her she feels the need to tell me all the cons regarding surgery.   She's read one book that devoted 3 pages to the subject.  She thinks losing weight can be done by simply changing one's mindset.  I do agree somewhat.  I know that with the surgery that will be a HUGE part of attaining my goals.  But until a thin person has walked in an obese person's shoes, I really wish they'd keep their comments to themself.  Just sayin'.......

This waiting is making me.....fatter

So SkyTeddy wrote that she recently received a letter in the mail from the surgeon's office regarding a consultation.  Skyteddy says she was a December referal.  I am a December referal!!  So what do I do?  I take a quick jaunt to the mailbox...even though it's midnite.  I live on a street with one of those supermailboxthingies.  I rarely pick up my mail, because it's usually junk or bills.  Anyhow...no letter from any surgeon in that there mailbox. Dang!!  I'll be checking that mailbox a little more regularly from now on. 

I will continue to be patient as I wait my turn.  Why oh why is it that while I wait for this surgery I have lost every ounce willpower I ever had?  I thought I would get out of this slump, but I still haven't.  I'm sure I've gained at least 20 pounds in the last 7 months. I know I've gone up a size or more since last summer.  My excuse for not exercising is really lame.  It has something to do with the fact that I plan on exercising like a crazy woman once I'm able to after surgery.  So that must mean I must conserve my energy until then....yeah, that's it.   And I have become a little bit of a potato chip addict in the past few months.  This probably has something to do with the fact that after surgery I plan on saying goodbye to those suckers for a very very long time. Preferably forever....But I am only human.   Parting is such sweet sorrow.  

Hurry up surgery!  Get here quick.  I'm ready whenever you are.
