enjoying christmas and thinking

well, it seems like all my ducks are getting lined up in a row and nothing else can really be done until after my psych evaluation in january so i have decided to put all of this surgery business on the backburner for the next 2 weeks...we all know that once the decision is made to take this step, it just seems maddening that it takes so long to get on the operating table....i've been thinking that i am glad that i am not in my 20's or 30's and facing this decision..i just think it would have been so much more difficult than it is here at 49...i keep telling myself that almost a half century of lots of good food- especially carbs and sweets is more than enough and it's sort of a been there,done that situation...my aunt who carries the same obesity gene that i do had the surgery and has told me that it was amazing how the urges that brought her to the excess weight tended to fade away..hoping to find this to be true for me! happy holidays everybody!!
