One week to go...

I have been having my ups and downs with Optifast, but so far I have kept to it. In some ways, it is like a test for me. Am I really serious about this? Am I really willing to give what it takes to succeed. So far, so good.

I said I wouldn't step on the scales until I had to at the hospital, but I caved in. One week on Optifast, exercising lightly on nearly every day, and I was down 3 kilos. I was pretty pleased, though I know that it would pile right back on if I did not have the lap-banding ahead of me.

One more week to go before the op. The days are going very slowly! I caught a glimpse of my fat self in a shop window today and said farewell to that blobby girl.
