I've tried to cut down on what I eat, but I cannot seem to make healthy choices. I like food. No, I LOVE food. This weekend, with promises (to myself) of not going out to eat, since weekends are the only time I can cook, we went out for Chinese on Friday, Seafood on Saturday, and Italian on Sunday. I need HELP!!!!
I used to really enjoy cooking. I probably still do. I just feel rushed, and exhausted. We have spent the last 4 weekends packing and taking things to storage. I like the way the house is coming along in regards to it having less and less in it. I almost want it to stay like this all the time, but what about all my "stuff"? I obviously have it for a reason.
With my daughter home now, I may ask her to cook dinner twice a week during the week to make our life easier.
I have all of my appointments scheduled for the surgery. I cannot believe how many there are!

Steps leading up to my decision to have this procedure done.
- 100 lbs overweight
- BMI=40
- Asthma
- Severe knee pain, especially when walking up or down stairs/squatting, sitting for extended periods of time.
- Recent diagnosis of Diabetes
- Recent diagnosis of Sleep Apnea. I stop breathing on average of 240 times every hour.
- I want to be healthy- to be able to breathe- to be able to walk- to feel rested after 8 hours of sleep- I want to live past 50.
