Daily Dose

Dinner tonight was Fazoli's. I ate too much. It was good though. We came home with a slice of pizza and some breadsticks. We came home and set up to tape Tru Calling. My side is still at times twinging. I am going to give it the weekend and then decide about going to the doctor. I can ask her about the weight loss surgeries if I go next week. I should also try and set up to go see a dentist at some point. I hate going to the dentist.

I so feel like taking a nap. I should probably do some of the web searching for the surgeries. One of the cool things is that if I do get it done, I can get my tubes tied at the same time. They have an ob/gyn who can come in since they are in the area anyway. :) That would be cool. *grins* They also can handle that I have a latex allergy.

I talked about the surgery at lunch today with some people. I am at this point just getting all my options. One guy mentioned his wife has been doing weight watchers for a year, and has lost over 90lbs. I showed some of the handouts we got.

Could I mend my unhealthy relationship with food if I have to cut most of it out of my life? Would I find other outlets for the being stressed so I eat, being bored I eat, being depressed I eat? These are some of the questions running through my head. We shall see.

I remember I was about 10 or 11 when my mom first took me to a weight loss clinic. It was a gym that I think tried to put me on a 1200 calorie diet. There were pink food diaries that you had to check off. I also remember an exercise bike and other equipment in a room with walls of mirrors. I can not find any of the items from that place though. My mom is going to look for stuff since she is a packrat. It is sad that I can document trying to lose weight for over 2/3rds of my life.

The thing that made me decide to not do lap band(much less bypass) was in part the invasivness. I do know people who have succesfully done both. I do know people who did not get a handle on eating and just switched to things that were high calorie and liquid. They lost some weight, and gained it back. I am unwilling to do the surgery in part because of my issues with eating. I feel like therapy is a longer term solution(not that I have seen great strides yet, but that is my excuse :-))
