After weighing in at 261, Tyne made me go weigh myself again in the morning. I was back down to 255. Crisis averted. I'm still pissed and frustrated though.
I was reading about the lap band surgery online just now. It sounds like a lot of work and a shitload of restrictions. I want to lose weight SO BAD, but I'm not ready to spend 6 weeks on a liquid diet. The article I was reading was written by a woman that had already had great success with the surgery. Right after the procedure she realized she was a food addict. It was all she could think about when she was finally faced with the consequences of the surgery. That's the idea I suppose. Re evaluate how you look at food and exercise, blah blah blah.
When I was talking to Tyne she said I should give it a couple years before I make the decision. I was hell bent on 6 months, but now that seems wrong. Two years seems more reasonable.
The recovery time is only 1-2 weeks, but I still don't think I'm ready. I'd be forced to come to terms with my food addiction, but maybe I should be starting on that now.
I should probably go in and talk to my therapist Peg while I have insurance.
All I know is I love food, I hate my body, and I'm not patient enough to wait for my hormones to kick into gear. Everything is always a double edged sword.
