Step 31: What the Freak?!? Ouch!

So I am in pre-op mode. My surgery is scheduled for next Monday the 28th. One of the last things on my pre-registration forms is filling in my weight. Since I am going to be under general anesthesia you have to KNOW what that number is. I don't, well didn't, until tonight. I wanted to know and yet didn't want to know. Seeing the glowing read numbers on the digital readout... ummmmm, yeah... I didn't like it.

First, I had to go find a scale. Yeah, that's awesome, eh?!? I found one. An industrial scale used for shipping huge packages out at a loading dock. I went in alone. I climbed up and waited for the number to settle. Then I took off my shoes and then my shirt... yep, I was stripping at a loading dock!!!! Finally I saw the digital readout ~ blazing red ~ YELLING out my very own number.

Oh. My. Heck.

That's all I have to say.

I remember weighing myself as a youngin on my mom's fancy "hospital" scale. It went up to 275 lbs. I kept telling myself that I would NEVER go over that. Yeah, I buried that. Then I said, I'll never pass 350 lbs. ~ *sigh* that was gone a while ago as well. I don't know what to do...

But, first thing first. I have to get through tomorrow.

Seeing the blazing red numbers (What the freak?!? Ouch!) has been a HUGE wake up call on my journey...
