Kevin Cottingham M.D. At first sight Dr. Cottingham looks very young, but don't let the youthfulness fool you. He is a very experienced surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone. He is very concerned and willing to answer any questions @ anytime. His nurses were very helpful in the approval process answering questions and guiding me through this journey.

So happy that this is another week gone! There is not much to update about. Still the same 'ol stuff going on in my life work, work, and more work. I am still going back and forward with these same 5 lbs that seem to go nowhere but I have made up my mind to not get discouraged and to keep on doing what I am doing. I have made the decision to start lifting weights everyday no matter what. I've start to see some definition in my arms, legs, and abs. I am so hype about the weight lifting thing. I've always wanted to be very muscular and I am begining to see everything form. On the other hand I might need to loose these last 40lbs before I start bulking up...I don't know. I've been battling wiht food all week long. It seems like I just want some chips so bad that I can't function that's really scary to me. I ate a fish sandwich yesterday and a few fries (Mcdonalds) but I didn't really feel all that bad because I know that I exercise everyday and I make sure that I burn 1000+ calories. However I don't want to fall into the trap that I exercise and burn so many calories that I can eat anything and still have no consequences to suffer from making bad food choices. Although I don't overeat and I am very aware of the foods that I put in my body I don't want to get into the habit of making bad choices. I could have very well ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and been very satisfied. I will do better next time...Until then!
