Almost Go Time *warning before pictures included*


Tomorrow is “go time” for the new lifestyle.  Yes, it will be a new lifestyle, the HCG (like the bypass) is just a tool to retrain my brain and stomach on what a correct normal portion of food should be.  America has screwed up everyone’s beliefs on portion sizes, that is for sure.

I am almost 100% prepared, because the first two days (sat & sun) are fat loading days, I will wait until Sunday to buy my fresh veggies & meats.  I purchased a big bag of apples & oranges yesterday and a food scale. 

I have a few mixed emotions right now.  I’m excited, obviously, I’m ready to lose the weight and it’s something new to do.  But I think most of all I’m scared, maybe terrified is a more accurate description.  I’m terrified of failure.  What if I don’t lose weight?  What if I don’t have the will power to stick to it?  I suppose this is time for me to hunt out the most calming thing in my life, scriptures (along with conversations with God).  I can do ALL things through Him.  I know I can, I will rely on Him, I may even break out my “Made to Crave” book and devotional and spend some time in it.  Do you have a favorite scripture that gets you through doubt and fear?  Share it with me please!! I may have to make a list and post it all over my house (ooohhh Ken won’t like that!).

Well, I decided to do my weight, measurements & before photos this morning.  Here’s how I add up. (actually, let’s not add anything up, the numbers are high enough anyways haha)

Measurements: 
Bust: 40.5”
Waist: 46.5”
Hips: 50.5”  - this is probably larger than normal because it is where my “pouch” from surgery hangs.

And the photo (it includes the weight):



(pardon my messy bathroom)

I can’t wait to have a comparison photo in 26 days! :)
