So, onward and upward.
I already had the psych evaluation because I was going to get the lap band but have decided that I do not want to have to worry about all the fills. They will take my psych evaluation that I had previously. Wondering what else will I have to have done.
I have BCBS MI through teamsters. Anyone else have that insurance? My insurance requires the psych eval., BMI over 40, medical examination with any co-morbidities and surgical evaluation.
My DD gave me this photo today
It was from the month after I retired in April of 2008. I remember how bad I felt. Physically and mentally I do believe that this is the picture of my heaviest weight. We had to come home from my vacation because my back was so painful that I ended up in the ER for pain meds. Just look at the expression on my face. You can just see the pain then compare it to my avatar and you can see the pride. LOL
Life change for me in the blink of an eye when I personally made the choice to do the unconventional and seek out Medical Weight loss surgery. I knew I had to do something or die!
I cry when I looked at this picture. In my mind I never realized how big I was esthetically or how close I was to dropping out of life!

I have been battleing the same frustration too. So don't feel alone.
I found that tracking my food Vitimins water and exercise (physically writng jounaling) has helped keep me accountable! I also started a blog called FAT @ PHAT yr 2011 on my www.sparkpeople.com site. because that is were I do my tracking.
It has helped a good deal!

Struggling to get the weight loss going again. I know what I need to do, just can't seem to make myself get through an entire day without overeating or eating the wrong foods.
Struggling with feeling of complete failure....disillusioned, disappointmented..
