Tomorrow...
on September 26, 2007 2:49 pm
I'm going to "class"!  My appointment wasn't scheduled until the 11th but I made the call this morning and yipee, there was a cancellation for tomorrow.  This is moving REALLY fast now and I'm getting nervous.  I think I've come to the decision not to tell that many people.  I'll have to tell my work but they are all terrific people and awesome Christians, I will be more comforted knowing that I'll have their prayers (whether they ultimately support me or not) then worried about what they'll think; I'm definately waiting until I have a date though! I hope tomorrow goes well.  Once I have a date everything will settle in.

The first step...

Okay, the ball has been set in motion!  

Got my health insurance reinstated- CHECK
Had my first REAL physical (EEK)-CHECK
Asked my Dr. for a bariatrics referral- CHECK
Got a Smart Dimension appointment ( Oct 11)-CHECK

and now I wait...and wait...then a little more waiting.  The next 3 weeks will fly by.  Only bummer is I'll be full blow in to school right around the time my surgery will probably be scheduled for.  Oh well, I've waited my whole life to be thin and I can damn well wait a little bit more now that I actually have a plan and have made the decision to do something about it.

I had the WIERDEST feeling come over me while I was driving home last night- there's a super teeny tiny part of me that's going to miss being fat.  I can't think of the reasons why just yet but I think it's mostly due to the fact that I have been obese my whole life and I hate change.  It's going to be so scary!  I am SO up for the challenge though, just watch out!

My Story

My name is Madeline and I have been obese for my whole life.  I went from overeating due to my love for food, eating out, and cooking to all of the above PLUS emotional eating.  Last year I lost 30 pounds and gained it all back as of a few months ago; it was then that I realized that if I don’t so something NOW I'll be going through this for the rest of my entire life.  Being overweight is not how I want to spend the rest of my days on this earth and I refuse to live life from the sidelines anymore!  I am young and beautiful inside and out and I want so much more for myself and this fat is just going to continue to hold me back in life. I'm READY!
