I'm sitting at the Drs office waiting for my second appointment with the weight loss clinic.  It's interesting to watch the clientele of this place.  I keep looking at the other patients and think, "am I that fat."  Well, I may be fat but at least I didn't show up in swear pants.  Hmrph.  

I'm not an incredibly girly girl, but I make it a point to put on some nice clothes and wear make up hear.   I guess I don't want to be that stereotypical fat, sloppy person. 

While I'm here, I'll see the doc, excercise specialist, attend a nutrition class, and do a support group meeting.  And then drive an hour home.  Did I mention I forgot my protien bar.  Dang it. And I'm already hungry.  :-(.  

Photographic evidence. 

So I was told I needed new pants.  Mine are too big. :-) well that's lovely. 

I lost an inch and a half from waist and chest.

The bariatric specialist said everything looked good

The dietician asked if I had been eating at all.  

The exercise specialist said to keep up the good work.  And she likes my shoes.  She wants to be my friend.  I know she does.

Support group was great.  Except for this  one old lady who wanted to talk about herself the whole time.  The lovely program manager answered a lot of questions regarding who does the fills ( the surgeon for the first 90 days and then  the bariatrician).  

So far so good.  

It's amazing how much better I feel when I'm not eating processed crap and when I'm not eating gluten.  Today will be function of staying strong and keeping on keeping on.
