September 5, 2007

I have to be honest, i've had a hard time eating right these past few days. I've been so hungry and haven't been doing the best at eating right and eating proper proportions! I spent Labor Day week end at Kick N Up Kountry in Thief River Falls, MN with several great friends and we had a blast! I did manage to get up early our first morning there and walk 2 miles, but that was the only day I did it. It was really hard to eat right, I didn't eat the best food, but I also didn't over eat!
So, today I had my first doctor apt. with my doctor who will perform Lap Band surgery. I actually had to sit down with him and his assistant and answer several questions and then it was up to them to decide if I was an ok candidate for the surgery. I am! Now I have to wait to find out if my insurance will approve the surgery! I think they will, but until I see it in writting, i'm not going to get too excited. I have lost 11 pounds now, 14 pounds is the number I need to reach to qualify for the surgery. I won't have a problem reaching that as I can't have surgery for at least 6 more weeks. They asked me how i've lost the weight so far and I explained to them that it's mostlly been exercise and smaller proportion sizes! The whole calorie counting and not allowing myself to eat the things I love doesn't work for me. You know what I mean?
I hope you are doing wonderful, thanks for taking the time to read my blog! What ever you are struggling with, remember that you CAN overcome! I have faith in you!
