Waiting is so boring
So I'm sitting here waiting for my next appointments with the dietician and social worker with the Hamilton group. Those appointments arent for another 2 months. Im so excited that time seems to be at a stand still. I called for cancellations and none so far. But I will keep trying. I hate waiting!
Thats my bit for today ?

I had my orientation in July 2016 and did not have any appointments until March 31, 2017. It's a long wait up until that point but once you get appointments then things get moving. Hope this helps.

Hi Squishy
You can call and see if you can get those appointments moved up. Just call once a week and see if there are any cancellations. Even if you don't get a cancellation it helps pass the time since you have something to do every week.
Also, take the time now to really focus on changing your eating habits. The more you are incorporating the changes the better your Dietician appointment will go.
Good luck and it is worth the wait!

Waiting is the worst! And I hated being told to be patient. Instead of being patient I reccommend trying to make changes and loae as much weight as you can.
While you are bigger you lose weight more rapidly - you will thank yourself later, when you get close to your goal!
