Ignorance can be bliss

Jul 16, 2013

So I bring it on myself really.  I was enjoying my summer, happy with the fact my orientation was coming up in September and boom I get a call that they moved my orientation up to July 22.  Well, that gets me asking questions, what is this orientation, what happens next, where the hell is the fontbonne building at St. Joes, crap where is St. Joes?  Hamilton and I have a love hate relationship, I hate the one way streets and lack of parking and I love to get outta there.

I keep reading the posts and I'll be totally honest the first time I was on here I was more interested in the timelines in everyone's signatures, quickly doing the math in my head to figure if I'm starting now I could be having surgery by....you get it.  Now I'm freaked about not getting accepted never mind when it could happen.  I think I just have to take it one day at a time.  If its going to happen it will and I should be using this time to educate myself as much as I can.  Easier said than done, but I know it's what to do.

I was a bit put off yesterday when I read someone had been nasty to someone else in the forum.  I just assumed people weren't getting judged on here being we are all in the same boat, regardless of what weight you are starting at.  It made me realize that if I ever get to place that I am happy with my weight I would never want to forget where I once was.  So many people on here are fantastic and are truly motivated by helping others and cheering them on.  Good for them, we need people like you especially people like me who are just starting out and have quite a journey ahead of us.

So my new quest is to find out what happens after orientation, it seems like blood work but who initiates that?  I will find out, only to move on to finding out what happens after that...ignorance was bliss :)
