Hello size 20 and goodbye mobility

I finally went pant shopping yesterday. My work pants are literally hanging off my ass like a diaper or something. I had been putting off buy new ones as long as possible because I'm cheap and don't want to have to buy new clothes constantly. Anyway, I went and holy hell I had to buy size 20!! It was probably second year university  since I last wore a size 20 so, like, 8 years ago. Very exciting. So I bought new work pants and a new pair of jeans (which make my ass look awesome if I do say so myself) to celebrate my new size in pants. hahahaha

In unrelated news, I finally got a date for my surgery and it is just 4 weeks away!! On December 1st I will finally have my foot operated on to correct the ligament that has been torn and causing me daily pain for over 2 years. The pictures there to the left shows where my damage is -- I tore the ligament that holds those bones together so rather than them being snug they have a big space between them. Not exactly a minor injury.

Anyway I cried a little when the woman called to tell me the scheduling date. I think I had somehow convinced myself (again) that I didn't need the surgery and that the doctor was going to discover something that made it so that I didn't need it. Getting it scheduled has made it a lot more real and scary.Having the surgery looming makes getting my weight down as much as possible before hand really important. Also, I really need to establish a game plan for keeping my weight from packing back on while I have a cast for a couple of months. I know I am going to have to lock down my eating in a very very serious way. I won't be able to get to the gym for months, and even once I AM allowed to go back to the gym it will be a long time before I can do a good cardio workout like I am used to now.

So that is my task for the weeks to come - get ahead as much as possible prior to the surgery, and get a plan to keep my weight under control during recovery.
