So things right now are better for me.

I went to my doctor on Thursday and I was diagnosed with depression and morbid obesity. I didn't think of myself as morbidly obsese but I guess I am. My doctor has referred me to a weight loss place that has a healthy lifestyles program. It is conducted by doctors who do the weight loss surgeries.

I won't start the program until after I get back from Vegas but I am extremely excited about it. I think this might be just the thing that I need in order to get my life back on track health wise. I feel better know there will be a whole team of peple that will help me figure out what I am doing.

Lee and I are also figuring out our finances as well. We have 3 credit cards with about $9000 in debt on them. We decided that instead of paying 3 payments at about $500 a month, we are going to take out a loan. The loan would be for $10,000 and instead of having 3 payments a month, we would have 1. We haven't worked out all the details but from what I understand, we would have about a $200 payment. That would save us $300 a month which is huge. Plus then our credit cards would be paid off and I can't wait for that! The extra $1000 would be put in our bank account to have as a start to our "emergency fund". We have been really horrible about saving money so maybe this is just the start we need. With the extra money we save, some of it will go to the emeregency fund and the other will go to paying off the loan. Wouldn't hurt to pay it off even faster!

I am excited about all the new things coming up. I am ready to live my life to the fullest again. I am hoping these things will be just the restarts that I need!
