I have a few things on my plate before now and then. I have my weigh in this month at my surgeon's office which is next week Thursday the 14th of February, then I will be seeing the psychiatrist on March 11th and I have an appointment with the dietician and surgeon both on the same day March 14th. I will be doing my two week liquid diet the last week of March and the first week of April. The nurse coordinator asked me if I wanted to postpone surgery a week until April 15th so I wouldn't be on my liquid diet on Easter. My answer to that was a big hell no!! I want the surgery and a holiday isn't going to get in my way, even for one week. It helps that I work weekends and I'll be doing 12 hour weekend shifts that whole weekend so I won't be around much on Easter to even be tempted. The family can go to my Mom's to celebrate without me, and I won't even feel bad about it!! I am just super excited to finally have a date and a plan, and I can see it on the horizon and it no longer feels like an endless stretch of time until then.
My weigh in this week is less than stellar. I have said I wanted to lose 1-2 pounds per week and so far I have until today. I lost a measly .6 pounds bringing my total up to 8.4 pounds lost. I know it is better than a gain, or no loss at all, but it is frustrating none the less. This infuriatingly slow weight loss has been my pattern since about the time I hit 40 years old. Tenths of pounds...ugh!! Hopefully after my surgery I will be able to see the losses I need to see and want to see. It's hard to do things the right way and not see the reward for doing it.
On another note, I read this quote on facebook today and I love it. It fits right where I am in my life right now.
