Today was the first visit to the Weight Management Program. Was a very pleasant visit... doc was very sweet...explained a lot of things I didn't know, so learned some new things. That's always a good thing. As expected, while most of what I have been eating is still allowed...the amount of it has changed drastically. Of course, some things have been taken away, which is no surprise, and certain things changed from one type to another..but basically serves the same purpose. Like.. sugar...is now Splenda. Which is ok, i've used it before, so it's no bother. Salt intake dropped.
Good thing I like veggies. :P Although, I didn't know corn was a starchy food...so that has been cut down to 1/3 a cup at a meal. Damn...corn is my favorite veggie to. Go figure. lol I get to keep pasta and rices, though only 1/3 cup at a meal. Get to keep potatos and squashes...but only 1/2....no more dark chicken, all white...fat free cheese...damn, no more Velveeta. Ok...so maybe a whole lot has changed.
It's gonna be hard...but I really need to do this or die one, which sorry...but that's not an option. Least this time dieting, I have support where any other time i've tried, I didn't. And I think that was my biggest problem and why I always failed. I have my housemates now and my girlfriend...who I wanna be with for a long time.
SO! Here we go!

Heading into another battle to try and get this surgery done. Though being in a big city now, i'm hoping the fight won't be as hard or last as long as it did in Ga. Trying to get things done there is virtually impossible. I also have a new family here, all the people I live with now...14 of them....lol, yea..I really live with that many people....my friends and my girlfriend to support me in this journey. In Ga, I had noone. Even though I had my blood family there...but they was more like.."You don't need that, just eat right and excersize." Yea right! If it was that easy, I wouldn't have weighed this much for so long. Anywhoooo.....Got my papers filled out for the weight management program, just gotta get my card copied and send everything in...then wait to see what happens. Once everything gets going, i'll put a tracker on my profile and before pictures.
