Quick Update

Here's a quick update:

I am on my 2 week diet (basically it's a 1,200 cal slim fast diet .5 high protein slim fast shakes and/or meal bars a day with one "real meal" consisting of 5 oz of lean meat and 2 cups of certain veggies a day). It's REALLY hard and I'm not gonna lie, I have kinda cheated (and by cheated I don't mean I had fast food or had a binge eating session, I mean I had an extra bar or shake or a string cheese), but all in all I am so proud of myself, and I can't believe I have made it this far! Also, no carbonated beverages, just water. Well, water with  sugar free crystal light! (and let me just tell you, I LIVED on Sprite!)

Well, I just stepped on the scale and guess what?!?! It says 273lbs!! OMG! YAY!! My goal was to lose 14lbs before my surgery date and I have done it (something to do with losing fat on my liver to make the surgery safer). Oh, and I have quit smoking (quit date was 10/13/09) and have not cheated once. I have wanted to, but I haven't. I did buy nicotine gum, but only use it on rare occasions. Things are looking up :) I am feeling HAPPY right now!!
