Since I started telling people about the upcoming surgery, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. As some of you know, I am not one for keeping secrets, so it's been hard not to share the information about something that is occupying so much of my mind right now. I've received so many positive words of encouragement it just confirms that I am doing the right thing by making this huge decision!
In other news, since deciding to have the Lap Band surgery, I have lost 5lbs. It may not sound too amazing but I know I am headed in the right direction. Two of my best friends emailed me saying "you should eat all of your Halloween candy now", and for some reason, I just don't feel the urge to binge eat. My coworker Beth told me that before her stepdaughter had the surgery she ate and ate. Maybe this is my subconscious accepting the decision and allowing me to finally say no. Don't get me wrong, I will definitely partake in consuming some of my favorite meals before d-day but I have no desire to over eat.
I found a picture from my good friend, Sara's wedding that I am using as my "encouragement" photo. Before her wedding I had lost close to 100lbs and I look so happy and healthy. I can't wait to look that good and FEEL that good again!!!
