Mark A Few More Off The List!

Went and had my head shrunk yesterday. And the psychologist said I'm not too crazy for surgery!! Yay!

Okay not quite like that but she told me I'm a great candidate for surgery!!

I meet with a different hypnotist to***ht to quit smoking. He is a former smoker, so he understands more about mental cravings vs. physical cravings. He has spent over 10 years developing his program, so I feel confident that I will soon be smoke free!!

Blood test in the morning. Explaining different reactions to when I go too long without food, ect PCP and psychologist (she specializes in bariatric patients) both worry about pre-diabetes.

But three steps checked off this week. WOO HOO!! Oh and my fiance said he is not going to support my Dr Pepper addiction. So he isn't buying me soda any more.

Getting requirements done so my PCP will clear me for surgery.

Yay for you! Before you know it, all will be clear and you will be ready to go. Good for your fiance for cutting you off Dr Pepper! LOL.

BTW.... chantix works wonders.

It takes alot of leg work but you'll get it done,,way to go on a good running start!!!

It feels good to get that checklist worked through. Good luck!!

Had to laugh at being cut off on your DP fix. In the same boat - planned to quit pepsi this week and found an unopened 12-pack!!! So... Will retry quitting next week, lol!

My cozy little land of denial has been taken away.

Got my blood test results. A1C levels put me at beginning stages of pre diabetic. HDL levels are really low. LDL levels are above normal and so are triglyceride levels.

Heart desiease, morbid obesity, and diabetes are what killed my grandma at 62. I'm following in her path.

Hi, freak out time now? I think so....
