Daily Dose of Mental Meanderings

Wow! What an odd couple of days I've had. I went to the seminar for the Gastric Bypass Tuesday night. Unfortunately, the surgeon was called into emergency surgery and was unable to do the presentation. Standing in for him was the program director at the hospital. She wasn't terribly familiar with his slides and the presentation was a bit of a mess. It wasn't TERRIBLY inspiring in the "putting my life in their hands" kind of way, lemme tell you. It made me really apprehensive about their program. Yet... at the same time... it shows that they do everything they can to "make it work" and that's comforting. There's another surgeon here in Houston that I'm considering. I need to find out of the insurance covers him and the hospital he does the surgery at first though. That's part of Friday's project. I'm still excited about the prospects but it did give me a bump back to reality that's for sure.

Yesterday was kind of a ... meh... day. Work was PAINFULLY slow and normally I would have posted something on ye olde blog o' goodness but... well... I really didn't have anything to say as I was feeling completely meh...

Today is much the same. Slow here at work, not much to say. I do however want to share one more thing with you. The words to Addicted by Kelly Clarkson. It pretty well sums up my love/hate relationship with myself and with food. (Metaphorically speaking)

Addicted:

It's like you're a drug
It's like you're a demon I can't face down
It's like I'm stuck
It's like I'm running from you all the time
And I know I let you have all the power
It's like the only company I seek is misery all around

It's like you're a leech
Sucking the life from me
It's like I can't breathe
Without you inside of me
And I know I let you have all the power
And I realize I'm never gonna quit you over time

It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me

It's like I'm lost
It's like I'm giving up slowly
It's like you're a ghost that's haunting me
Leave me alone
And I know these voices in my head
Are mine alone
And I know I'll never change my ways
If I don't give you up now

It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me

I'm hooked on you
I need a fix
I can't take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can deal with it
I'll handle it, quit it
Just one more time
Then that's it
Just a little bit more to get me through this
I'm hooked on you
I need a fix
I can't take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can deal with it
I'll handle it, quit it
Just one more time
Then that's it
Just a little bit more to get me through this

It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me
