Approval!

May 21, 2010

My insurance company approved me!!! I was in shock when I received the phone call, but it's finally sinking in and now I'm getting so excited. DH and I thought for sure the insurance would dick us around, even though I've done everything exactly as they've said. It's funny though, I got sad and I think my feelings were a little hurt, too, to find out I was approved first time out. Talked with DH about it. How do I explain it? In my mind, I know I'm fat and I accepted that years ago, but if I happen to look at a picture of myself, my first thought is, Good Lord, how did I ever get to be THAT size?! BUT I don't "feel" as fat as the picture shows me to be! So, when the insurance accepted me right away, it kinda slapped me into thinking that, yeah, you REALLY do need the surgery because you really ARE that fat...no matter how you feel inside. Does that make sense? So, it kinda hurt my feelings, you know? But that's not important. What matters now is the next step leading up to the surgery. Waiting for the Dr.'s office to call to set up the pre-op appointment  and then schedule the actual surgery date. I'm excited to start my new life. I'm excited to have more energy. I'm excited to get off these medications. I'm just excited. I'm sure I'll come down off this and then I'll be petrified. I wonder what other feelings are waiting around the corner for me. There's no reason to be afraid, I know. I'm committed to making this work. I'm fully aware that it's a life-long change. Failure is not an option. I've tried too many diets and failed too many times. NOT this time. Come on World...bring it on! I'm ready!!
