Everything continues to go well so far. I am tolerating all the foods and learning how to "like" the soft foods part of this process. A week from today I can start on solid food - yea!!! I lost another pound this AM so that is good too. I still struggle with that exercise routine everyday. I love my Resistance Chair and actually enjoy the time I do spend on it so what's the hang up? The biggest fear I have is a fear of failing at this. So far, I have been doing well so what's behind the fear? I will be fat forever and so heavy it will take a gazillion pall bearers to carry my casket? a fear of losing weight? a fear of being "skinny"? a fear of being successful? Why am I "hiding" underneath all this weight? What am I "hiding"? What do I do now? Get with it or scrap it? Seems like I've gone through an awful lot so far to get to this point so "scrapping it" is just not an option anymore. So - how do I get into a routine? Perhaps the best way is just set aside a time everyday when I can exercise - maybe over noon either before or after I've had lunch and before I go back to work? I would really like to go walking again but I just don't trust my feet. I hope that can change as I take more weight off. Getting my husband to go with me is a solution but so far he is not really invested in doing that. And what happens when winter comes - not so easy to walk outside and no malls within 30 miles. One thing I would really like is to go swimming everyday but there is no indoor pool and the pool hours at the outdoor one are not conducive to my working hours. Stay with me on this - I need to continue working on things. Tikki
