My First Blog Entry
Jun 05, 2010
Today, I am not too committed to my pre-op food plan or making all of the lifestyle changes that I will need to make before surgery. I really fluctuate from one extreme of being committed to the other. Sometimes I wonder if I have reached the point where I am willing to give up my old ways of eating and living. I know that the process of becoming willing to make the changes can take time. It sure did for me when I decided to get clean and sober 9 years ago, so I am trying to be kind to myself and not feel like a failure. Although, my mom cautions me to not be too permissive with myself. I don't know how to tell the difference! I know that one thing that helps me is to keep busy during those times when I would want to over eat.This week is my first official weigh-in since starting the process. I am a little nervous because it is possible that I have gained weight, although not enough (I believe) to exceed my starting weight.
As I have said before, I am really grateful that another member of this site suggested that I become a member. The support I have received in just one week has been tremendous. I am trying to find as much support as I can. I look forward to going through the process with all of you!
