FINALLY!!!
Mar 12, 2013
FINALLY!!! It is the end of the beginning! Today I finished the first part of the crazy journey. Every doctor appointment, test, sleep study, and class are officially completed! Excited does not even begin to describe how I feel. Six months ago I did not know for certain that this is truly what I wanted. Now I want it more than anything. I am officially down 25 pounds since October 3, 2012. It could have been more except that I heard a horror story of a man that lost a significant amount of weight which in turn cured his diabetes, then his insurance denied him the surgery. At that moment I did not lose another pound.
The last 6 months have been enlightening and frustrating. I have learned so much about myself, such as, I am an emotional eater, bored eater, eater out of habit, social eater, closet eater, and It's just a party in my mouth eater! I really need to get a grasp on this now before I get too old. I am 41 now, almost 42. Although I have always been overweight, in the last 3 years my weight has just spiraled out of control. And as my physician put it "Nothing sucks more than getting old, than getting old fat." I deserve more for myself.
So now I wait for the doctors office to do it's thing and the insurance company to approve me. Everything has been such smooth sailing, I just keep waiting for a bump in the road.. But for today, I am just happy for what I have accomplished so far.
