Struggles With-In.

I feel like I'm losing steam lately. Don't get me wrong I'm still 100 % committed to this new lifestyle, I guess I just feel like there's soo many directions I'm being pulled in. It's getting easier to lose sight of myself. I'm focusing soo much on my nutrition and excersize, that It's starting to stress me out, and I can't understand why!

At the starting...line?

Alright, so it's been months since I made the decision to have WLS. I did all of my homework, researched as I've never researched before & went to the seminar at Unity Hospital. Now tomorrow is my initial visit, and I'm super excited to get this process started. I'm also nervous. I know, I know. It's just the first step in all of this but it's still a big step. I'm ready to upgrade my life and lifestyle, I guess I'm just afraid I might be rejected. There's a lot to do with the insurance crit
