The Night B4 appointment to see the surgeon the 1st time...

:biggrin: WOW I can't believe that I have not posted any blogs since 11/1 07!!!!!!:sleep: I guess that I was embarrassed to post anything becaiuse I was not focused on my eating plan. I have FINALLY kicked but, I have gained and lost since the seminar on 10/31/07. I ws my worst enemy. I was giving myself my own rewards. Last suppers or last treats. I was psyching myself out. I have had enough fast foof meals, french fries, candy and chocolate to last several lifetimes. It was me that had to STOP that and realize that I don't need to do that. This was going to be different!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every diet previously was started with last something... It was until I realized that I don't need to do that this time is when I got it together! Good for me Thinking like that has paid off and brought me to this point. Tomorrow I finally see the surgeon!!!I am back down to 243. 2 lbs away from my required surgery weight. That was the hardest few pounds to lose. It was such a head game. WOW I can't wait to have the surgeon plan a date for me. The coordinators at his ofc say that it probably should be in a week or so due to my Medicare insurance. Yeah for Medicare. They are finally doing something good!!! I hope that everything goes well tomorrow. I will post the results tomorrow night!! :cool2:
