Happy Holidays to everyone!
So the new year is coming and that is my year. When I will be changing everything I've ever know about my body and food. I'm so excited and can't wait. I'm thankful for this last "non wls" holiday. I'm sure that seems weird but the reason for it is because I'm super aware of everything that I do and put into my body right now. So when I eat to much mint chocolate and felt ill - I knew I had no one to blame but me. I realized that this is one of those things that I do and don't think about. I have a serious chocolate issue when it's that time of the month (sorry tmi) and of course it ha**** me this month on Christmas. Weirdly I'm thankful again. I realized that I need to take control of this...because I can keep chocolate out of my house but not out of the world around me. So I need to deal with it head on....better now than post - op! RNYinOntario paints her nails to avoid the chocolate...which I thought was great but it didn't occur to me that I would need something to redirect those cravings. Silly!! My husband and I are working on clearing out the cupboards over the next couple of weeks in preparation for the changes in eating. He also is planning to have WLS and is extremely supportive of me so we're working through issues together.
So at the end of all of this (although I have only spoken of one temptation) I have had the chance to sit outside myself and watch the mistakes I make while eating. It's an odd thing, but a great thing too. 2012 IS THE YEAR I KEEP NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS!
I'm looking forward to being post-op!

It will be a great journey for you and hubby! You'll be able to find new activities together!
I had my surgery 5.5 years ago and my husband literally just had his less than two weeks ago! I'm so excited to get active together! Because you'll do it fairly close to one another, you'll be an eve more amazing team!
All the best to you both!
