Getting Ready For My Class

Feb 26, 2012

My overnight bag is pack as I am staying with my godmother and she is taking me to Toronto to my class on Tuesday at 1pm. She had WLS years ago and her daughter just went though it so she is one of my biggest support. I’m a bit nervous because I’m not really sure what to expect. Filled out all my paperwork, am ready to start getting the other appointments required for start my new beginning. I’ve really been doing the research and I spend lots of time on OH. It is so hard sometime and hard to explain to people that have never been overweight "You wouldn't understand until you've walked a mile in my shoes."  But since joining OH I finally have people that do understand. and it has been amazing for help. I sometimes get very overwhelmed it’s very exciting but it’s hard not to get into a hurry wanting to get more done. I stopped drinking pop and I no longer drink coffee... I do crave sweets sometimes but don’t eat chocolate anymore. I more so crave salty things but the worst thing is not giving up food is that I'm not eating enough and eat the right food.

I told a friend from work the other day. After a night shift we went out for breakfast and finally got up the courage to tell her. It was very hard and I was terrified to say anything but I did and she a little taken back but as I explained what happens and a little more about it she was very supportive like I knew she would be.

I feel good about going I have cut back on a lot of the bad habits but I have a fear because I live at home with both my parents are overweight with bad eating habits. We eat out don’t often have a meal plan so not only do I struggle with my eating when I do eat well it’s hard to watch someone else eat the junk and not want to have it as well.

Keeping my eye on the prize I have set new goals and one is drinking the amount of water and setting better eating plans. I know I can do it and I will do it. Thanks to all my supporters.
