Mamavation Monday: The Road Ahead
I often think that I am afraid to succeed. When I start doing well I almost sabotage myself. The problem is that I find it very hard to recover from that self-defeating behavior. Take this week for example. Since February 10, 2010 I was down 12 pounds as of this past Monday. I was on a roll.

I am waiting to find out if I am one of the 5 finalist for one of two spots as a Momavation Mom (Psst, if I am one, please vote for me).

By now you probably know that I am am ready to take a big step on my journey to lose weight. I have completed (as of tomorrow) the last step in my pre-op weight loss surgery requirements and am ready to set a date. However, I have decided to try to lose weight once again before doing so. In truth, I want to to lower my BMI before I set a date because as of now I am a danger zone. I also think that if I can jumpstart my metabolism and refocus my weight loss journey, I may decide not to have the surgery.
