I am taking the Options classes that Kaiser insurance mandates.  I am enjoying them, but strangely was not ready to start the positive changes that need to occur.  So, the first week was pretty much a wash.  After that week, I think I am wrapping my head around the fact that the journey is starting now rather than at some distant time in the future.  Today, a rep took me out to lunch and we went to a cupcake shop afterward.  The cupcakes were lovely, but I knew that I did not want to eat one.  So, I bought two.  I gave one to my administrative assistant and gave one to my best work friend.  I had the pleasure of browsing and buying, but did not suffer the consequences of eating cupcakes.

I am new to this community.  I have been overweight for many years, have done Atkins, Lindora, weightwatchers, and many more.  I have often been successful for awhile, but always sabotage myself.  I am hoping with weight loss surgery and education and support groups I will finally get healthy.  I have some hope because I am currently getting counseling which is helping with some of my emotional issues, work with a trainer and enjoy working out for the first time ever and the insurance I have requires a lot of presurgery classes and counseling.  I am enjoying reading the words of wisdom from y'all.
