Thankful for Thanksgiving

I heard from the scheduling coordinator for my surgeon. She says I am 24 on the list and should expect a date in February. So, 2 or 3 more months. Shucks, I would've been happy if she had said, "So, what about tomorrow?"
Thanksgiving was weird. I kept thinking that this is the last Thanksgiving that I can enjoy. I know next year will be even better because I will be thinner, but still . . . it's hard to give up a good friend and that is what food has been to me for years now. So, back to the protein and low carbs, forget about the stuffing, but at least I can eat more turkey.

In the Beginning

And so it begins. My life as a fat girl is about to be over. The journey is about to begin. I know that the end is far away and there will be quite a few hurdles to jump before I am thru, but the first steps have been taken. I started at 304 pounds and I currently weigh 280. I have heard from my doctor and I am waiting for a surgery date. I already feel better, but I still have pain in my knees and sleep apnea. I am looking forward to my final Thanksgiving as a fat girl, my final Christmas, my final New Years. By this time next year I should be well on my way to a new, healthy, more energetic, lifestyle. I can hardly wait.
