Today is the last day of my life as I now know it. I have high cholesterol, probably borderline diabetic, obese, unhappy, no energy, stressed out.......etc. I have a 15 month old son who along with my husband is the love of my life and my health worries me. I get winded just walking across the parking lot and I hate that I can only play with my son for a few minutes at a time. It is time to make a change...and tomorrow I have an appointment with a medical doctor to deal with my weight problem.
I have been overweight ever since I was a child. I remember being in Jr. High and High School and laying in bed crying because I was fat. I played sports (soccer and field hockey) but I could never lose the weight. I have tried every diet (Atkins, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, etc) and while I drop weight initially, it all comes back...and thensome. I don't want to have surgery but I NEED to do something. I don't want my son to be the one in his class with the "fat mommy"..so Monarch Medical Weight Loss...here I come.
My appointment with them is tomorrow morning. Tonight I am having a "last supper" of sorts with my family..after tonight no more prime rib, cheesy enchildadas, salads dripping with dressing....it is time for a new me to be born. As one of my favorite announcers says..."Let's get ready to rumble" or in my case LOSE THIS WEIGHT!
Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't lose the weight, I give myself reasons why I can.
