Holy Crap is right!  I up and abandoned my blog for a while which is a pretty good reflecting of my neglect towards my diet over the last little while.  A stalker friend of mine Lynda has been harassing encouraging me to get back to blogging and so here I am – hitting up the blogosphere for another attempt to broadcast the ups and downs of my weight struggles.  I haven’t been blogging for so many reasons all of which include that I have had fallen off the diet bandwagon but I am now back with new focus and while I have gained back some of the weight I had lost -I have gotten my refocus before I had gained back all if not more of it which for me is a massive accomplishment. 

I am in fact cheering for myself and recognizing that noticing I had fallen off the diet bandwagon before I was heavier than I started out is something new for me and I’m realizing this at a time when I am generally at my best diet wise — summer!  I am sure that a lot of my readers have gone wayward on me and I can’t blame you but I hope a new post will entice some of you back!  I am about to make a lot of changes in my life and I’m really excited to be sharing them with you all again.  So much has changed in the past 6 months and my life is a complete hectic storm cloud of events and situations all of which have distracted me and pulled me away from my goal of a healthier me – in fact….more than 5 whole months have passed since my doctor put in my referral for weight loss surgery – 5 Months!  Holy CRAP!!

I’m assuming some of you are seeking an update about where I am in that process and guess what?!  I actually have news – BIG news!  After over five months on the waiting list I got a call this week inviting me to the hospital to have my weight loss surgery orientation!  AWESOMENESS!!!  I have been waiting for this for a long time now (although not as long as some people in Ontario) and feel really lucky to have the opportunity to get to have a new more positive outlook on my obesity – morbid obesity – super morbid obesity?!  Whatever – I don’t know which one of those categories I am in but quite frankly I don’t care anymore because I am just so excited to be on my way now!  HOLY CRAP! 

I have committed to making some more changes in my diet right now but will get to that in the days to come but for now you should know that I am doing well, wishing it would stop raining, and just thrilled to be attending my orientation meeting this Thursday —which I will share all the details with you about after of course!  Looking forward to getting this place happening again and sharing so much with all of you!
