 You all truly inspire me. And a special thank you to  Seattle_Maui. She is an inspiration. I joined our local YMCA today specifically so I can swim year round. I am gonna swallow my pride (I hate my swimsuit...so unflattering!!) and get in the pool and swim my heart out. I think I may even try Tai Chi and/or yoga. Eventully I am going to work myself up to Zumba. Please all...keep blogging. You have no idea how your words inspire and give hope to others. Be blessed y'all!!!

Say goodbye to Holiday Yummies!!

Dec 26, 2011

 The Thanksgiving and Christmas binge eating is over...indefinately. I actually was very good this year. But I did mourn. I kept telling myself "This is the last time you will be able to eat this stuff'" I was depressed. It made me realize that there is quite a bit of emotions tied into food. Wow. That is something to think about.
I am just needing to scrape together $100 for my nutrition class and another $120 for my psych. Then  my surgeon will submit to the insurance for the approval. I am so anxious. I am telling myself it will get approved. I have the following: high blood pressure, sleep apnea, degenerative disk disease, bone spurs in my spine, fatty liver disease, high cholesterol, constant heartburn and so on. LOL. Geesh...I am not even 40 years old. I feel my quality of life is so terrible. How did this happen??? 15 years ago I weighed about 180. Yes...still over weight, but not quite "obese". And just 6 years ago I was 80 pounds less. So...in 15 years I have put on 120 pounds!!! That's a whole person. 
Well...keep on keeping on!!

The waiting game

Dec 11, 2011

 So...I really wasn't planning on writing anything until I actually had something meaningful to say. But I found myself wondering if there are others out there who are feeling the same way I am and haven't shared it. Hmm...good question right?!
I am feeling allot of anxiety about this whole surgery weight loss thing. I am working through the insurance requirements so my doc can send for the approval. I constantly ask the "What if" questions. What if it doesn't get approved? What if I never get to my goal weight? What if I am fat forever? I feel like I am driving myself crazy. My doc and sweet hubby says to just let it run its course. OK...fine. For a few days. Then I start obsessing about it again. Yikes!! How have you dealt with the pre surgery jitters???
