Sidenote....

I am thinking about calling the UPMC Bariatric surgery department tomorrow and telling them I have decided not to do the Lapband surgery. I know this weight loss journey has been a struggle and it is hard everyday, but I think I want to do it on my own. If I haven't lost my weight by next January, I will start the 6 month program with them again. For now - I want to do this the natural way! I may regret this if by next January I am still struggling in the 250s. I feel that with my support system I can do this on my own. Wish me luck!
