Fuengirola-ho!

Right, only two days now before I go down to Fuengirola for the first session of Gastric Mind Band therapy at the Elite clinic. First session on Saturday 16th., 2nd and 3rd sessions on the 23rd. and 4th session on the 3oth.

After that, hopefully I'll be well on my way to losing all this excess weight.

What a piece of bad luck, though. I tripped on my way to work on Monday and sprained my Achilles tendon, which means that even if I do get the urge to exercise I won't be doing much with my legs any time soon!

I am quite convinced that this is going to work. I have to get my daughter to Bluetooth me across a photo that she took at Christmas to use as the "before". I hope I can keep up this blog and that I will chart nothing but PROGRESS!

I have ordered myself a copy of "The new Cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz from Play.com. I know from experience that his method works, but the last time I read it in Spanish and it's a known fact that using your mother tongue works far better. I hope it gets here soon! (Quite how I'm going to get to the Post Office to pick it up, though, is not so clear. I'll have to plead with the daughter to take me - Grrrr!

I hate being helpless. I hate not having a car of my own any more (not that I could drive it at the moment, either, but still...) I understand that it's a waste of money because I don't need one in Madrid because I go everywhere by public transport, and that it is not a good idea to leave it for weeks at a time here in Castelldefels under the apartment, but now and again I would just LOVE to be able to go to a shopping centre without having to beg the daughter for a ride.

Anyway, fingers crossed for Saturday...
