Preparing for pre op

In preparation for my lifelong journey, and getting mentally ready, I am doing a few things at home.

Saying goodbye to all the foods, drinks and habits that were once a comfort and friend.  Breaking up because the relationship I have with these things is bad for me. At first I thought it would be so hard to cut the ties. Slowly but surely I am choosing what's best for me.

The one that will be the hardest is my Diet Coke addiction.  I am getting my head around it but I am sure this is the thing I will miss most.   Besides, as it was put to me a few months ago, I have had more than enough Diet Coke for a lifetime, so no need to have more. True...

I am also putting up charts and inspiration, motivation and goals all over the walls of my house.  I want to be surrounded by reminders and things that make me smile.

Preparing the kitchen cupboards! Getting rid of all the junk!  It's amazing how much stuff creeps into the house! Well they're all being chucked!

I have picked a 'skinny' outfit. A non scale goal of what I want to fit into. I am making small goals rewards for myself... every milestone will have a non food related present to myself!

Getting everything organised so I can raise money through my weight loss by having people sponsor me.  I'll have more details on that soon.

There's lots to do in being ready. I want to be completely prepared, held accountable for and supported before pre op. Two weeks to go before I start.  I have heard it's really hard and tastes gross so preparing for that too.

So totally excited! Not at all worried, just gonna do it!

=) happy days
