So, last night I went to the support group.  Parked across the street from where I thought I could get into the clinic but all the doors were locked so I ended up going around the building to the side doors.  Ok-that wasn't so bad...till I went the way they showed me to get to the auditorium the first time.  I get halfway there and another locked door.  So then I turn around again and start wandering around till I can find some stairs to get in the basement-which I did and then ended up in the hospital part.  Finally made it to the meeting, but i think I walked about a mile to get there.  Thought I was going to die.  Anyway, I am really looking forward to the day that I can walk around that far and be able to breath while doing it.
The meeting was good.  A plastic surgeon came and showed some before and after pics.  I thought the 1st one looked good, but the others scared me.  I know they were older ladies, but I don't want to look like that.  I am just going to hope that I am young enough for my body to look half way normal I guess.  They gave us a sheet with the cost for different proceedures on it.  It was a nice surprise considering I thought it would be way more.  They range in price from around $6850 to $9550.  Guess I will have to start saving up.......Til next time. 

Getting started.....

I went to my first dietician appointment on Wed 11/29/6 at 8 am.  It was one of the group dietitcian meetings.  I was pretty nervous since there would be other people there with me. I feel embarressed by the fact that I have gotten so out of control weight wise. Anyway, there were 6 other people there.  2 were older women and 3 other i assume to be closer to my age.  One of them was wearing a MJ Capelli shirt and the other had a Paul Mitchell jacket on.  I assume they are hairdressers which is kinda crazy since I am as well.  I mean I should be anyway...  I have my license I just have no desire to go find a job.  I don't like the feeling that I have right now about going to get my client and wondering if they are just as disgusted about who is coming towards them as I feel about myself.  But, back to the dietician-pretty much just a get started session.  We got our books and food journals.   and she just went over basic stuff about how we need to make more time for ourselves and stuff.  We need to journal everything we eat until the next appt.  
I am also trying to do this psych/eating disorder packet that i got in the mail the other day.  It is so much stuff to go through.  Hopefully i will get it done and in with in the next couple days.
