Maybe This Time I'll Stick Around

 It's been a while since I've posted as there is really nothing in my life that is too exciting and I wasn't finding the time to get into here.  I've decided to start up again and while not much has changed I'm wanting to try.

Today is Bear's birthday and I'm happy and sad all at once.  She's such a great little girl but she's growing up so quickly and I'm trying to remember to enjoy the time with her and make time to be with her when she asks.  She was very excited this morning and left for school in a great mood.  Her and Bug even managed to not get into a screaming match before leaving, which is always a good thing.  

Some news that I plan to write about in the future as well is the fact that I've asked to be referred to the Bariatric Surgery program here in the province.  There is quite a waiting list but I'm so tired of being fat and trying things that don't work or stick that I've decided that drastic measures are needed.  I have to say though that my doctor wasn't very supportive of the decision and only grudgingly agreed to send the referral.  He also then couldn't get me out of the office fast enough after that so I feel bad that I've let him down but I also feel somewhat upset that he hasn't made any recommendations for getting me into better health either, just upping my blood pressure pill dose and sending me on my way.  I'm a little scared of all the changes that will be required but I think I'm in a place where I'm ready for this.  I want the person I see in the mirror to reflect the person that everyone else sees and right now they are not the same.  There are a lot of steps beforehand with the program that have to be followed and completed or they kick you out so dedication is definitely required.  I'll keep posting as things develop with that.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
