random thoughts I wanted to write down

Aug 30, 2013

I met with my pcp yesterday. This was only my second visit with her, so I was pretty nervous to talk to her about the letter of necessity I need for my insurance. Turns out I was worrying for nothing! She just asked me a bunch of questions to be sure that I know what I'm getting into & we also went over all the different diets I've tried during my life. I'm so anxious to get this ball rolling. I was talking with my mom afterward and I said "I hope this surgery happens sooner rather than later" she said, "maybe you should do what my dr suggested when I started my diet; wait til after the holidays, so you don't have to worry about having to avoid the treats" I said "Nah, I'm more interested in losing weight than I am Christmas treats." She said "well there ya go that's great, but temptation is a dangerous thing" I said, "so is obesity" I think I got my point across. I love that my parents are so supportive of me. I was nervous to tell my mom, I didn't think she'd understand, she seemed a bit apprehensive at first, but she's excited for me now. My dad and step mom have been 100% since the second I told them. My dad offered to help with anything he could. I'm really so lucky to have such amazing parents.
