The beginning of a new life

Today I started my new lifetime eating habits-much more protein, much less carbohydrate, NO more mindless eating. I am 5'6" and weigh a shocking 318.6. My surgery date is in late March, but at the nurse's suggestion am going ahead with the pre-op diet now. It is for a lifetime, so no time like the present. The hardest time will be in the evening and at night, daytime is not a problem. I have a good support system and I will win this fight. I will not weigh every day, but probably every 3rd day or so, to help with motivation. I am not so much worried about not sticking to the diet as I am worried about being a total bitch for the next couple of weeks to everyone I love. Pray for me!
