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!!

I think about that a lot. I am going to be 32 in February and I keep thinking about how I have another possibly 50 + years that I will have to worry about weather I have enough calcium, protien, vitamin B12 and Iron in my system. A bit of a fear for me since I am on this side and not losing yet. I am sure it will become 2nd nature for me eventually but I have to wonder What am I thinking doing this to myself???Yikes! Might be easier if I were in my 50's. My kids would all be grown too. Not as much to care for. Oh well, I am rambling. I know you will have success with your WLS journey Kim!!!
