Ok Class #1 Down 11 2 Go! Need A Little Nudge:)

So I am soooo excited to have started the process I have been waiting 2 yrs,

BUT.... why am I not motivated to lose the 10% of my body weight???

They said we would idealy like you to lose the 10% but it is not mandatory

as soon as they gave me the option to not lose it. It was all over my motivation went out the window.

I was really excited to do the work and lose some weight on my own when I thought I had to.

whats wrong with me lol... a little motivation to put positive thoughts back in my head would be cool thanks for your support in advance guys!!! my hubby is as fit as a fiddle lol.. so he does'nt understand the pickle i am in he just sayes work out yah ....

I'm having surgery on May first I started the options program Dec 28th 2011, they asked us to lose 10% for our safety, to reduce the fatty liver to make it easier for the Laparoscopic procedure, otherwise the surgeon will have problems lifting your liver to visually see your stomach and they could opt for a laparotomy, and personally I did not want that incision down the middle of my belly from breast bone to navel, so I sucked it up dug down and did it... lost the required weight, and then some... Good luck to you ! and my surgeon turned one woman away when she gained two pounds, another was made to wait 9 months until she lost the weight.. don't wait start working on it now so you will be ready when you complete your classes
