It's my birthday tomorrow.  I turn 38 and my plan is to be at my healthy weight by my 40th.  Today I officially end "this is my last chance" love affair with food.  Ben and Jerry's (YUMM).   I have officially started on my goal to lose 35 lbs in 60 days so that I can set a surgery date.   Alarm is set 30 min early so that I can go for a walk before work.  Heard somewhere that you burn more calories when it is cold outside.

I had to appeal but have been approved for gastric surgery thru my insurance.  Now the work starts.  Not being a patient person, I called to make my first consultation appointment with the surgeon.  Should not have been suprised but I was, they require that I attend an information night that is only done once a month at 3:00 in the afternoon.   That is of course three weeks from the time that I called.  Will not schedule anything until I have done that.  To be fair, most likely this information night will provide lots of answers to questions in a more effecient way than one on one appointments.  Guess I am just anxious and that is making me a bit grouchy about the process.  

Have not mentioned the surgery to very many people yet.  My husband, two sisters and that is about it.  Not sure why but I really don't want to hear to much about what my co-workers, extended family, and others think about my decision.  It is like when you are pregnant the first time and everyone feels the need to tell you the worst case stories.  Why is that??

Anyway - I guess I will add to this after the information meeting.
