Little things....

It's the little things in life that mean the most. Like cuddling with your precious dogs. Having a late night conversation with your husband. Your mom posting cute photos she finds on your facebook. Coworkers who are your friend.

Well this morning I celebrated one of the little things in life. But to be honest, it's not little, it's BIG BIG BIG, well for me at least.

I FINALLY BROKE THE 300's!!!!!!!!!!!

And here is the photo to prove it!

weight loss

Well we must be doing something right because I have lost 11 pounds and charlie has lost 13. This is awesome! We have 4 more days of this liquid diet. It's actually not to bad. Last night we bought a scale. I don't think I have ever bought one. I stepped on it and it said 301.4 This morning is said 301.4 so when I got to work I checked it on that scale, in disbelief, and it said 301.4 Well when I got home charlie told me he had lost another 3 pounds and I didn't believe it so I stepped on the scale again tonight. I was down to 300.8 Just another pound and I will be under 300. I haven't see the 300's in well over a year. This is pretty exciting!

Today

Saw my primary care provider this morning for some warts on my leg. I mentioned to her that I was in the process of getting cleared for weight loss surgery. She wasn't too keen on the idea since she isn't pro surgery, but she is willing to support me. She weighed me this morning and I have lost about 3 pounds since I met with the surgeon last week. I don't care if it was water weight or what, all I care about is I am making a start and 3 pounds is 3 pounds.

Today we started the liquid diet. It wasn't too bad while I was at work. Once I got home though I became really hungry. I am so used to eating dinner almost as soon as I get home from work. I had some sugar free pudding and in a little while we will make a protein shake and have that for dinner.

Charlie had his psych eval today. He said he just sat there and listened to the guy talk for a bit then he had to do this test that had over 300 questions. He said he almost fell asleep while doing it because he was in a room that was so quiet. I have my psych eval on October 12.

I have found a few support groups on facebook and on obesityhelp.com. I am going to a support group here in my area on October 15. 6 months will go by fast, I just know it.
