I have been away from tracking calories and journaling for over a month. In that time I have not gained weight but I also have not lost. I am in the running for lap band surgery. 100 candidates have been chosen but only 25 can get the surgery. I went to a meeting last night with the other candidates and I feel so bad. There are so many people who need this surgery much more than I do. Realizing this has motivated me even more to eat properly and exercise. If I don't make it this time, and I can't see how I am, maybe I can loose the weight by myself. The surgeon did not seem too hopeful with that method but if I don't sabotage myself there should be no legitimate reason for not loosing the weight. It was also an eye opener to see people who are a lot sicker than I am and if I do not get this under control I will be as sick or worse. I kept saying to myself 30 years ago that next week I will start and guess what I never did. Never thought I would have health issues as when I was 30 I was still in good health. Well again, guess what, now I am walking a tight rope. Stroke or heart attach. Blindness or amputation. What will get me first. So I started again properly. I walked half an hour this morning, ate 1/4 cup of steel cut oatmeal and yogurt. Baby steps just like they taught me. Exercise, portion control and calorie counting and self talk. I deserve to stay alive and I am going to. Now to work.
