Today I took steps to make some changes in my life. I am trying not to put too high of an expectation on the results. I don't want to do the diet pill or the pain pill or the depression pill.
They set a goal to lose 10% of my weight. I said, "I want to lose more than that. She says that is the first stage, don't expects so much of yourself or overwhelm yourself with big figures and goals that are hard to reach.
I am reminded that I learned a long time ago, don't put expectations on people who are unable to meet them. This same thing applies to myself. As the doctor says, I have health issues that can lead to complications and have to have a lot of tests done.
I know I am never going to go back to that 39 - 26 - 37 figure I had many years ago. You can't defy gravity or the middle-age spread forever. Even my height has changed. I have lost 2 3/4" If I can focus on this like I did on my recovery, then I can expect some good to come out of this even if I don't achieve all of my goals.
