I am powerful.   I am capable.  I can accomplish my goals. Instead of looking at where I've been or what I haven't done, keep looking forward. I can't change the past, but I can control my future.

Well, I feel like I've climbed over my first hump. I finally feel committed to changing the parts of my life that have caused me to be fat. I mean, really committed. Ive been thinking about  and researching WLS for two years, and finally believe that it will be a good thing for me. I have had two discussions with my surgeon, and have been "pre-approved" for the gastric sleeve surgery by my insurance company. I have had my first of six monthly appointment with my Doc to record my diet and exercise program.  It's going to be hard to wait to get my surgery date, but that will give me more than enough time to really get into the habit of tracking my food.  Already, I am beginning to think of food as fuel, instead of a drug, or recreation, or comfort.  I hope that I can successfully overcome obstacles as they come up. I feel committed now, but I need to figure out what to do when my enthusiasm fades.
