AND because the surgeon told me on July 17 that if I lost 45 pounds I could come back for his further evaluation.. he said "you do your part and we will do our part." And I now have an appointment with him on Thursday.
Because I just got the update from my surgeon I have been "slaving" so hard to reach around 230 pounds for... and when I walked in the door the receptionist could not believe it and just kept looking at me. And the surgeon was very pleased and said "Good job" - new goals and he wants to see me in two months.
But seriously, the most fragile part of forming new lifetime habits is at the beginning. If I don't go for a walk 6 months from today, it's no big deal. But tomorrow, it's essential. Old habits die hard, and the only way to make healthy habits is to make them old habits.
Because I used to end up wearing my black fleece jacket (Seattle style LOL) just about all the time... even when I was roasting hot... to try to hide my gigantic boobs and ugly fat clothes. Now I make sure I take OFF the fleece so my pretty clothes show. And yes, I still have way too much of the boobs, but I have a plan (and suregeon) to take care of that when the time is right.
Because I want to be lighter and more active than ever for my second honeymoon next year. We'll be in Florida and I want to strut around looking and feeling my very best! I've got until October so there's a lot of time to stay on plan and make things work.
