Brief Moment of Insanity

It's been months.  It's been months since I've cared about how many Points in consuming, how much exercise I'm getting in, and how much I weigh. As a matter of fact, I've not weighed myself --with the exception of once last week, out of simple curiosity--in that whole time frame.  I've decided to let it go, and allow myself the peace of mind that I deserve.  Rather than being severely depressed through most days, and letting it affect my personal relationships, I've decided to take hold of my situation and do something that I feel is necessary for my own well-being.  Rather than letting weight-loss become a losing battle for me, and rather than letting 25 years pass me by and still be obese, I've decided to allow myself the the tools I need to live a quality life.

In 3 days, I am heading to my initial consultation -- a four hour appointment--to undergo Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery. There, I will have my first round of tests ran, my body evaluated, and my medical history reviewed to better find out if I am a good candidate. 

From here on out, this blog will be an account of these events.

  1. I think that's a great move, Robin. As I said before, you seem to be a good candidate, in that you are capable of keeping to a diet. I hope the tests go well.

    About my blog, I need to have an email address to send an invite to. You don't list one. If you would drop me a line to leslie.ann45 at yahoo.com, I will get you into the club. Thanks for asking!

  3. Hon, that invite will time out after 30 days, so you will need to accept it, even if you don't read anything.
