Fallen off the wagon - twice!!
Aug 14, 2013
Well - here I go again - allowing my bad habits to make me lose sight of what's important - ME!!
How do I do this - all of the time. My addiction went from food to now alcohol. Something I never believed I would ever be addicted to.
I only started drinking one year ago - never drank before that. And now I find that I can't stop - it is imprinted in my psyche - stop for wine after work - or on the weekend - or - or - or. Doesn't seem like I need a reason.
So, the personal changes and challenges continue!!
Tomorrow

I went to a friends house today with my girls and they had a scale. So what did I do. I asked if I could weigh myself. WTH am I doing to myself. My surgery is less than a month away and I went and gained almost 30 lbs in a year. I am 30 lbs heavier than I was in 2009. I weigh 327.5 lbs. This is the heaviest that I have ever been. How did I allow this? Why did I allow this?
At some point in time I need to stop making excuses, because that is what I did. Since I found out about being approved for surgery I have been eating anything I want, when I want it. Oh - I have made some changes - no mc d's for almost 3 years now, no bk. Those are great changes. But they are not enough.
It basically boils down to calories in and calories expended. I have been taking in numerous calories. And not doing anything to expend them. I don't exercise because my body aches, so I eat. Vicious cycle, I know. And I know I am not the only one. Some time that is a comfort.
Well, tomorrow is a brand new day. Tomorrow I can skip the extra coffee with creamer. Tomorrow I can skip the burgers and fries. Tomorrow I can eat breakfast. Tomorrow I can take the stairs instead of the elevator. All it takes is making 1 good choice at a time. Tomorrow will be a better day!!!

One month until my surgery
Nov 06, 2010
Today is November 6 - my surgery is scheduled for December 6. I am excited and I can't believe how fast (yet slow) this date has arrived. I have been wanting this surgery for the last 3 years. And now - here it is - one month away.
I've had conversations with my boss, my children and my family - letting them know or reminding them that I will be out of commission for a while. I have numerous hours of sick time saved up and with December having so many statutory days, I should have plenty of time. And with the short term disability, should I need it, I am set.
I have so much to do and virtually no time to get it all done - with my work schedule and volunteer schedule. My surgery is in Medicine Hat Alberta and I live in Winnipeg Manitoba. So I have to book my flight. But I don't know when I need to get there for my pre-op. And then I can't really book my flight back because I don't know when I'll be healthy enough to fly back. Lots of unknowns, which I am not a fan of.
Well, tomorrow is another day.
