It is important that you write down the things you want to cover with him before you go in. Take some time to think about it and organize your thoughts on paper. I have to do that every time or I just blabber away with no direction. You will be fine. Look at it as the first day of the rest of your life in a positive direction toward wellness. You can do this. I admire you for taking this step. It is one of the most difficult. Hugs, Shelly

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
