9/2/12
It's been a sleepy day for me. I've been so lazy today. The dogs seemed extra lazy also. Maybe it's the weather? Tomorrow is going to be work day for me because I have things to get done around the house--laundry! My dieting hasn't been the best. I haven't cheated, but my meals could be more balanced. I ate more carbs today than usual, but all the carbs were healthy carbs. I don't keep anything unhealthy in the house. It makes it much easier for me to stay on track with the diet.
I appreciate all the comments from everyone and I know they are all meant to help. I can not follow any of the diets recommended because I'm on a medically supervised diet plan and have to follow their recommendations. I see a dietician and my primary physician every month. I am trying very hard to diet and get the weight off naturally. The reason I mentioned that I'm leaning toward having the surgery still is because I still have my doubts about my own success of doing this on my own without the help of having the surgery. Statistics say that most (>85%) of morbidly obese (that's me) people that lose weight on their own usually gain it back within 5 years. I say this not to discourage anyone else, but only to explain my own thought processes. I guess I want better odds. I have been heavy since I was 13. I have been on many many diets in the past and have failed every time and ended up heavier than when I started the diet. I want a success for once in my life with this problem I have. I can't afford to fail anymore because my health is at stake now. I do not take the surgery decision lightly. I know it is a major surgery and will change my life forever. I know the risks and am weighing the pros and cons very seriously. I seem to need the help the surgery offers. It's definitely not the easy way out. I will still have to control my habits, but with the surgery I won't have the hunger to deal with and it will also discourage me from eating sugar (which has always been my downfall with any diet). I still have a lot more work to do prior to surgery, so my mind may change. Right now, I'm leaning toward having the surgery. Next month you may hear something different. Who knows? Julie
