Ready to get serious about this ..... I think

First day of the new week, first day of work after Thanksgiving. Visited my family out of state. Thoughts: 1. Wow, lots of old 'stuff'' comes to mind at Thanksgiving...regrets, missteps, how old my mother is now and how I regret I always took her for granted when I was young. 2. How the above triggers a desire to drink and eat entirely too much. 3. How well I managed drinking (no alcohol at all) and eating (not excessive!). 4. Important to focus on the future, embrace positive memories as I have seen that my thoughts drive my emotions and it has been my habit to manage my emotions through over consumption.
Started the day early, with blood drawing at a local clinic as a prelude to my first medical appointments this Friday. I suspect there is not much they won't know about me before we are done!
Reviewing postings on the Forum makes it clear that this is serious business...major surgery. I need to be realistic about what is ahead.
