As I continue in my weight loss persuit I have now attended a support group required by my surgon, only to find that he also requires two more. One of them is slides of the actual surgery and then the consultation with him. In additon, I have done a stress test on a treadmill for my heart and had a colonoscopy and still have to do the ecco for my heart. I almost have all the clearances I need, and I think my husband is seeing my determination in loosing weight. Since changing jobs he now sits at a desk all day and in the last year has gained about 40 pounds. He is starting the Body for Life program and has asked me to do it with him. I will start it and use their workouts, but I still want the surgery.

I have to admit that I am a little nervous and have cold feet a little. What if Im not able to change my habits and five years from now Im even bigger than I am now. I dont think I will, but its crossed my mind.
