Well this is my first time writting on anything like this. Hopefully it will come out alright. Today I dropped off my application to the weight loss center and got OFFICIALLY weighted in. It was very scary for me. I almost turned around and went back home. But I did not and I am so proud of myself. I took some deep breaths and marched in. Got lost and said maybe its a sign I should leave. Just as I am thinking this, a man walking by (not someone who works there just someone visiting) and he said I looked lost and could he help me. I did not really want him to know where I was going, but told him anyway. He knew right where it was and walked me to it. As we approached the door the lady saw me. Even if I wanted to, I could not leave now. She was very nice. She took my app and led me into the office to weigh in. I was surprised to see that I did not weigh as much as I thought I would. Anyway, she said that now I wait until Friday or Monday and she would call me with an appointment with the Doctor. So now I just need to work on losing the 10% of my weight. I feel soooo much better having done this. I feel like it is really happening now. Before it was kinda just a dream, but i have actually started the process. HOW EXCITING and Scary. Will update later.

Just got a call to set up my initial appointment. It is 5 days away and am a combo of nervous and excited. Will update after my appointment.

Well I have had my 1st of many appointments. We both agreed that the Roux-en-y gastric is the best bet for me. Unfortunately I have to lose more than the required 10%, because my BMI is to high. so I have to lose 30lbs. Which is only like 6lbs more, but it feels like a lot more. So now I feel like it will never happen. She said she thought it would be hard for me and I feel like it somehow is making it harder for me. Well anyway not feeling as optimistic as I was before, but still gonna do my best. I have a lot of appointments to make, and I am moving so maybe all the packing and cleaning will help me to lose some.
