Still can't believe it's real, but I've got a couple of months yet to get my head around it.

December 27th is New Me Day.

It's my choice to wait that long due to work obligations. I wanted to do it this year since it would go toward this year's deductible, and I wanted it to be after the holidays so I didn't have to worry about shopping, family dinners, etc. I can just take 2 weeks and recouperate.

I did tell my boss, and he's fully supportive. I'm hoping it will stay that way. I also asked him not to tell anyone else. He's the only one at work that knows. He did mention that once all the weight comes off people will ask, but I'll deal with that as it comes.

I just keep thinking, "Please God, don't let me fail again!" because this is IT. I know that's the wrong attitude to have, but I also know most of you can relate.

Am I scared? You betcha! Is it gonna be life-changing? Dang tootin'! You think that's gonna stop me???

NO WAY.

I'm in it for the long haul, and I can't wait for 12/27 to get here!
