The wait is over, sorta...
Hello Friends!
Yes the wait is over! At least the "6 Month Physician Directed Weight Management Plan", don't you just love that phrase. I feel a lot more at ease saying, 6 month diet, but I regress. Anyway, I had my last Dr.'s visit on Friday, and am down another 2 lbs. since last month. So, since the beginning of the year (around Feb. I think),I have lost 62 lbs. On the 6 month diet, I have lost 40 lbs. Either way, this is a significant loss for me!
Now the "other" wait begins! You know the one, "THE INSURANCE APPROVAL" !!!!! I am going to keep a positive attitude about this, simply because I have laid it all in God's hands. I was told a couple of weeks ago that I probably would not be approved, simply because i have lost so much weight, and have not put it back on. Talk about a bummer!!!! We will just have to see about that though, won't we!!
No matter what happens, I have been Blessed with a capital "B"! I feel better, I am able to do things that I haven't done in years, and my clothes aren't as tight! So there, no matter what happens, I will fight ! I will fight to be a healthier person! I will fight for and support anyone who needs it! I have decided to keep a positive attitude no matter what! Do you know why?
Because it's out of my hands now! It's in the hands of someone higher up, not mine, not the insurance people, nor the person who says, "You don't need surgery, look at all you've lost".
So there!!!!
Sorry to be so long winded this morning, but I just felt I needed to get this out of my system, and I Thank You for being friends enough to support me!
See you at the "Walk for Obesity" ! Have a GREAT Week!
AND 
AND 
Prayers continue to go up for you!
I've always heard that the insurance companies go by your weight at the beginning of the 6 month "Physician Directed Weight Management Plan" and not your ending weight. We all know that losing weight is only 1/4 of the battle. The really hard part is keeping it off.
Sixty two pounds is a significant amount of weight for anyone to lose, and 40 pounds is nothing to sneeze at either. You already deserve your own loser's bench.
We'll continue to wait for good news from the insurance company.

P E A C E - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
