“You’ve made a decision.”

That’s what my doctor told me this afternoon. I went to see him to get my flu shot, and I had a couple more questions for him before my initial consult with the bariatric surgeon tomorrow. He gave me a letter to verify some things for my insurance company. And when I told him that in a number of ways, just looking in to this whole process has given me some motivation.

That’s when he told me “You’ve made a decision.”

He’s right. And it kinda sucks.

Why couldn’t I make this decision the decision to radically alter my life-style without surgery?

Of course if I could answer that I wouldn’t be at this point. So this is where I am. I made a decision, I’m moving forward.

We’ll see how things are after tomorrow.
