I have a direction to go in now (long)

This morning the nurse called to schedule my appointment with the surgeon. For the first time since I started down this road I feel I have a direction to go in now. I am having my house painted inside and out and some repairs done from a wind storm we had a month ago. I told Lee last night I want the house all fixed and pictures rehung and in order before my surgery. Lots going on but its like a whole new start is about to happen. I have been picking colors for differents rooms ect... and new curtains all very exciting for a new start. In the past I have just had the basic eggshell in the rooms but now I am treading on new ground. It's going to be fun to see how the colors will change the rooms. I am also making a mental list of a few new places I want to eat at. Yesterday my friend and I  went to one of them and it was wonderful and so much fun to be with my girl friend we had a blast. I ended up bringing most of my order home and had it for dinner but it was still just as good. For the past few months I have found that I am not eatting as much it is sorta weird. I first see the food and think oh wow that looks great and put a normal amount on my plate then By the time I start to eat I only eat a small amount and am very satisfied and cant eat any more. Maybe it is my mind preparing me before surgery. I always do find room for the desert tho LOL.                                                                               Annie

Annie, didn't you know that dessert is the most important of the four food groups?  I'm sure it feels good to finally have a sense of direction and to know that you are on the right path at last.  Let us know when you get a surgery date. Kix

Hi Kix, Desert has been for a long time the highlight of a meal for me but I have learned to curb that and not always indulge. Just keep trying new ways to satisfie that craving.                                                          Annie
