Dern, I'm 26 now.  However I do have insurance and an appointment with Dr. Edward Felix in Fresno on the 15th.  *thumbsup*

Although I received my insurance on the first of May I was suddenly reluctant to follow with the procedures. 

I had the misfortune of watching a documentary on the Discovery Health Channel titled, Christie's Story.  From the beginning it looked like yer typical weightloss story: 25 yr old, single Mother at 500 pounds.  But as the story delved deeper we find Christie a year after surgery, thinner yes but nowhere near any smarter.  With food out of the running as a constant companion, she turns to drugs and alcohol -- thus keeping up with her self-conscious self-destruction.

I found this greatly disturbing and worried I too may search for another self-destructive obsession once food is no longer an option.  But I talked with my psychologist and she was sure there were quite a bit of differences between Christie and I.

Woohoo!

And now the really important stuff:  What I want to eat before the surgery!

Creme Brulee -- already had
Turkey burgers -- already had
Peanut Chicken
Eclairs from Angelina's Bakery
Clam Chowder from the Fish Hopper
Guacomole and Cheese dip -- already had
An endless supply of Drumsticks -- already had
Magnums of Martini and Rossi Asti
Long Island Ice Teas by the gallon -- already had
Chicken Fried Steak from Margies
Squid and Chips from Phil's
Homemade Grilled chicken and artichoke pizza

That'll do for now

 
Things I want to do when I'm smaller:

 Go to Six Flags and be able to fit through the turn styles and all the rides
Go on a hike and not get exhausted
Go test drive an itty bitty car with bucket seats
Go into Victoria Secret's without the "Fat Girl" alarm goin off
Buy something from Victoria Secret's
Buy entire wardrobe from Coldwater Creek
Go to lil hotel in Carmel for afternoon tea
Tour the Hearst Castle
Wear a bathing suit without crying or upsetting others
Wear a bathing suit in Vegas!
Take a helicopter ride
Sit in an airplane without rubbing thighs with my neighbor and not needing a seat belt extender
Wear six inch heels!
Go to New York and go shopping
Wear shorts inna public area
Bungee jumping, but Mom won't let me
Learn to scuba dive
Go on a cruise!
Learn every dance ever invented
Learn how to ski

I think that about covers it for now.
