My Day
Since I had a bad day yesterday on my diet, I am keeping busy today. I am doing liquids. I will be bringing my little man to his weekly bowling, then pick up a few things at the grocery store. I need to get all my veggies cut up for tomorrow, and clean and hide some eggs. what is your day look like? have a great sunny Saturday........ cheryl...............HONKKKK
Wouldn't it be nice if something was "easy" on this journey?? It makes me laugh to hear people say we are cheating, or taking the easy way out of our weight loss issues. I wish they could all walk a mile in our weight loss surgery pre-op hell-ascious journey. We are expecting ourselves to do the very things that brought us here in the first place and once again spend wasted precious moments of our lives mad at ourselves or shaming ouselves for not being on target every day/
You are doing fine, just the new awareness of food and its role in your life, the knowledge of portions, exercise, protein etc...it is all PART of what we are doing pre-op.
It takes 9 months to bring a baby to term, don't you think it is divinely planned to give a mother 9 months to figure the mothering thing out too?
Well, so too this journey, it takes a while, in my case 3 years since I joined the board, almost a year since I asked my PCP to make the referral and 5 months to go from first needle stick for first blood work to surgery. We need this time to figure it out, the changes we have to make, and gain the grace to live with our decision.
You will be ready when the call comes, Cheryl my friend, and you will rock the surgery and life everlasting...HONK, honk, honk! hugs
It was magic when she realized who she had become...

This morning I'm cleaning my house.
This afternoon my daughter and her fiance (and many, many loads of laundry) are coming over and tonight we will have our "Easter dinner". Actually we're roasting a chicken and we'll have home made bread and mashed potatoes and corn. CAN YOU TELL I HAVEN'T HAD SURGERY YET? LOL
Tomorrow I'll be spending the day at my b/f's parents house with most of his sisters and my daughter and her fiance will go to her fiance's grandparents home (they raised him because his mom was sick while he was a child and passed away while he was in high school).
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
