I have my intake appointment at noon at the hospital where I'm meeting for 2 hours with the doctor, nurse practitioner, and psychologist/behavioral specialist. I'm so excited. I really feel like today is a new beginning for me. I can't wait to begin this new chapter of my life.
Please keep me in your thoughts/prayers--I appreciate it.

The Chaos of Six!
Not sure what HMR is--the name of this program is New Directions. I know there are others out there like this program I'm doing, though.
I saw your post the other day and I just wanted to tell you I think you are very courageous for acknowledging and seeking help. You have two gorgeous sons that need their mama. As they grow, marry and have children, they will want share those experiences with you.
I wish you the best and look forward to reading about your progress on the boards.
I saw your post as well and was rushing out the door so I didn't get to post that day, but I did want to tell you how brave I think you are. I'm pretty significantly overweight and I've been trying to lose weight. So far, I've lost 55lbs and still have another 50 or so to go. It takes a lot of work, commitment, a will power - but if I can do it, you can do it! I promise you that it feels amazing with just the 1st 50 lbs that I've lost. My biggest piece of advice that I can give you is to just do it. Nike got it right - just do it. There's no way around losing weight and there's no easy way to do it. I'm not going to wish you luck because you don't need it - instead, I'll wish you willpower because you do need some of that! PM me if you ever want to talk.
