Long time no speak....

Hello everyone! I have not posted in awhile and just wanted to say hi! Last time I posted I told you guys that I was unsure if I would still have my job after June 30th because they were putting our contract out for bids.......well I still dont know! I completed and submitted our proposal with the help of a wonderful consultant, but still have no answers! So I am still edgey over that!   I have been sticking to my 6 month diet......for the most part ~grinz~  there have been a couple days at conferences that "couldnt resist foods" just hopped on my plate! But over all in the last 3 months I have lost a total of 12 pounds. Everyone has commented on it and I dont see it! I wish I could and I check out the mirror all the time, but I still see all the same jelly rolls, cellulite, and double chins!!!!!   I had to cancel my consult with Dr. Averbach last month due to a family death, but I have a new date in August. I am excited!!!! I have all my pre-op stuff done, or so I think.........and by then I will have exactly 9 months of supervised diet under my belt!   I have came to the conclusion that even if my insurance denies me, I am on the right road! Where theres a will theres a way! I just have to keep my mind in the right place!   I hope to be on here more.......if my job gives me more than 5 minutes to myself! I love ya all!!!!! Heather J

Hi Heather, I was thinking about you the other day. I was going to post and I got side tracked.  I am glad to hear from you.  I am sorry that the problem with your job has not been resolved yet.  I hope all goes well for you.   I am so sorry you had a death in your family.  My condolences to you and yours.   I am sorry you have to wait all the way until August. I hope they give you an appointment sooner (maybe from a cancellation) I miss hearing from you and I am sorry you have been so busy. Keep us posted on your situation ok. Hugs,

Cira.......    Did you realize that you apologized 4 times in one post????? Dang girl, I am still alive, healthy, and employed for now........save the apologies for when I need them!!! LOL!!!!!   But thank you for the usual kind words of Cira.....they mean alot to me! I dont think I will get my appointment any sooner, but I can hope! Again, thanks for the support and I will keep in touch! Heather J

LOL Heather, It is never easy typing with two small ones giving you a constant workout.  I should proof read before sending my responses.  Ughhhh     Take care

Cira.....    I was just kidding with ya! heather j

Oh I know sweetie no worries. lol Take care

Heather, a 12 lb loss is fantastic!  Keep up the good work.  Hate to hear that you're dealing with the "unknown" in the job department.  Sounds as if you've done your homework, now the ball is in their court.  Best of luck!  Your attitude reference WLS is wonderful!  It is a lifestyle change, and starting now certainly can't hurt.  Keep on truck'n!
