what I have decided


I have been working on losssing weight for the majority of my adult life. Almost a year ago D and I got a membership to a gym and started to buy healthy foods and cutting out fast-food, soda, and other high fat/ high sugar stuff. For a while there we both were feeling better and I was actually starting to loss weight....that did not last very long I am afraid. I dropped about 20 lbs and then stopped. I got very discouraged. When I went back to school I had a really hard time fitting my workout in to my very busy schedule. I knew I needed to find a balance but just couldn't seem to find one, so in typical Lynn fashion I gave up. I have been plagued with illness and injuries since then and just have not gotten back to a serious work out plan or healthy eating habits. I have been talking to a couple of friends as well as my sister Laura about the lap band procedure. Laura just got approved by her insurance company for the procedure and is scheduled for surgery in late August. So I have decided to actively work on getting the approval from my insurance company as well. I truly feel like I have tried every fad diet and excercise plan out there and that this is the best solution for me. I know that just getting the procedure done is not enough...I will still have to hit the gym and watch what I eat, but I think this will help. I am scared to death about this...but I really believe this will be a good thing. I will keep you all posted on the progress...keep you fingers crossed and wish me luck with the insurance company!!
