Like it's My Job

It's hard to lose weight. It's also hard to be fat. I'm choosing my hard now. I'm tired of being fat. I'm doing this prep like it's my job. I have notes, I have a schedule. Everything I need to do is going on my work calendar so I stay on track. I've been tracking everything I eat and drink like it's my job. I'm putting everything I put in my mouth on MyFitnessPal. I'm determined that this will be the last time. No detours or pauses.

Tomorrow will be the last day I take Nexium in preparation for my endoscopy next week. This is going to be tough. I can still take Zantac or Pepcid until 2 days before the procedure. Then I have to tough it out.

I had a whole day at home today and I needed it. I watched the women's world cup soccer game final. USA wins again. I got my dresser drawers organized and pretty much took out anything I can't wear anymore. I decided that as I lose, I will get new clothes. I really want to purge everything that's been hanging out waiting for my weight loss. I have 2 exceptions - a power suit that I want to get back into and a cute red dress that I never wore, but would love to get into one day (size 7).

I have been doing great so far with food, but now I need to get better with exercise. I have 2 Yoga DVDs waiting for me on the shelf. Tomorrow after work, I need to open them and do them.

For now, I need to plan my breakfast and lunch for tomorrow and find something for dinner tonight.

Goals

So why am I doing this? What's the purpose of putting myself through major surgery, psych evals, 6 months of weigh ins and logging food, liquid diets, pain, etc.? 1. Health - Unfortunately my family has a history of health issues. Diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, stomach ulcers, obesity, etc. I don't want to be diabetic, I don't want to have high blood pressure, I don't want my joints to ache because there's too much weight on them. 2. Life - I want to enjoy it, and not have to sit out on things that I can't do because I'm overweight. I want to climb the mountain, ride the roller coaster, swim, dance, and run if I want to. I want to not have any physical barriers to what I want to do. 3. Clothes - Let's be honest, clothes look cuter in smaller sizes, and without rolls underneath. The plus size clothes section is small and frumpy in most places. I also have a little dress that I bought in Las Vegas from a cute boutique years ago....
