Last Nut Appt this Friday

Hello all.
My last appointment with the nutritionist is this Friday. This will mark the last requirement or hoop before submitting to insurance. I know that, overall, I have done well and am down a little over 20 lbs in the last few months. However, this weekend has shown me very clearly the importance of 'the process.' These last few days I have gone off the rails with regard to my diet. Made horrible food choices (can you say CARB central?), drank not one but three cokes and overall just tanked. The thing is-I wasn't particularly stressed or worried or happy or sad or celebrating-heck, I didn't even choose yummy delicious food that I could count as a food funeral. Just made crappy choices.
As I mentioned in earlier posts, I have been loath to even consider surgery until recently and am skeptical as to my ability to adhere to changes in lifestyle and diet over the long haul. This last weekend puts that fear front and center.
My plan had been to try to schedule surgery for the 1st week in December. This would put me between semesters for school and allow me to be back at work before the horrendously busy flu season hits with full force. At this point, I am glad for the additional months so that I can continue to work my way through issues with food, etc.
Anyway, guess that's all for now. Not sure how I'm feeling in the midst of this.

Tomorrow is a new day so try not to be so hard on yourself and keep moving forward. You are doing great and YOU CAN DO THIS! :flowerforyou: I hope that you get a surgery date that is compatible with your work schedule. We all have days and moments where we don't make the best choices but every moment and every day is a fresh start. It's a lot of pressure jumping through all the hoops and you are just about there my friend.
