1 month to surgery

May 22, 2010

I can't believe in one month I will be on my way to a healthier me.  I'm nervous and have doubts creep up occasionally.  But on the other hand, I know this is what I have to do for my health.  Heart attacks and diabetes run high in my family anyway.  The ones who have died from these awful diseases weren't overweight.  So, I know I need to exercise regularly and to do that I need to get some of this weight off of me. 

I'm also starting to mourn some of my favorite foods.  Popcorn, corn, cake, etc, all will be missed but I"m determined to figure out how to live without it.  I envision my healthy self of about 6 years ago where I was eating right and exercising every day.  At that time I wasn't even to my goal weight but I felt great.  I want to feel that again!   I actually looked forward to traveling to new places so that my husband and I could find an interesting place to walk.  I've often wondered how I got back to this point from there, and I've concluded it is just life.  When I take the focus off of myself and place it on my job, my children, or my crazy life, all I'm doing is shorting myself. 

Currently, I'm trying to get my head right and I'm also trying to compile a list of the things that I will need after surgery.  If anyone has a website with this information or has any suggestions, I'd love to hear about it. 

In the meantime, I'm anxiously awaiting the surgery date!
