Time To Get Going!

Over 61% of Americans make New Year's resolutions to loose weight for the new year. I know I was one of those people for as long as I can remember. This year is different though! I am going to be given the tools needed to be successful. Because I know that this is going to take a while before I get approval for surgery, I figured I need to start now. I signed up for Weight Watchers online today. This is a small step, but it counts toward my medically supervised diet. Well, it does because I called my doctor and left a message for him (he's on vacation) telling him that I signed up and I would like that put on my record. Some insurances are requiring pre-op medically supervised diets for anywhere from one month all the way up to one year! Obviously I HOPE it's not going to be one year for me, but if it is...it is. So for now I'm estimating I'll be required to do a six month pre-op medically supervised diet. That's a nice round number right in the middle. So, if I'm using that as my time estimate, then I should be looking at a surgery date of around June or July! So I should be able to loose 50 lbs after I have the surgery in time for Christmas :) Plus I'll have lost weight from my 6 month supervised diet, I hope anyway.

So! Things are moving...slowly, but moving ;) I'm on the right track...
