Political reality or How to avoid conflict on anything...making a commitment

The title as you may have guessed, is misleading. I don't make arguements on religious or political decisions. I've always felt that people have their opinions on how the United States is run. I'm not afraid to tell you how I feel, just feel it is only important if speaking to someone who really wants to hear my ideals and making hasty conversation is not included. In other words, don't be waiting to make a snappy comeback answer, because I won't be asking the question.
As of late, I have made a commitment...I've decided that I am going to improve my physical self and my spiritual self. I've mentioned this in my last blog but tonight, I wish to give a bit more detail on what my decision involves. I found out that I am going to be having a sleep study for the possibility (more than likely) of me having sleep apnea. Since it has hit everyone else in the family, I would be surprised if I don't have it. My first visit with the specialist is the 14th of July. From there, who knows...probably the overnight sleep test in a strange twin bed and a cold room at a hospital. The result to be told to my insurance company so they can decide if I am ALLOWED to have future treatment for the condition.

Next, I will be going to a Weight Maintenance class that will last 6 months, learning how to eat, exercise and control what I eat and how much, just to mention a bit. If I am successful at the attempt to lose weight and take seriously the lifestyle change, I will again hear an answer through my insurance company as to whether they think I am a worthy candidate to have Gastric By-pass surgery and totally change my attitude and looks. I am going to be skinny for the first time in my entire life. Imagine that!!
Another major decision that will go along with this one is taking my spiritual life more seriously. I can't imagine that I will accomplish the physical, mental and emotional attitude change without using a lot of the spiritual to keep a positive outlook on things. I must trust in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ to help me do my best to accomplish this goal. I know it is going to be a struggle and that there may be many frustrating moments... I just hope I don't take my anger and frustration out on anyone or anything. I don't like to diet and to be totally honest I HATE dieting. I don't like having to give up the cookies, and cakes, ice cream and chocolates etc...especially noodle dishes...My weakness, since I got used to eating them as a child to maximize meal consumption for a family of 7 kids on a military budget in the 50's and 60's...
I am going to deal with all these situations one piece at a time...after all, you can't eat an elephant in one bite. Just one day at a time. Slow and steady. fall and get back up...
