Must.Stop.Eating.Sugar

So, I think I can definitely call myself a non smoker now - it has been over 2 weeks and not a single puff.  Hooray for me!!!  However, on the downside, I have done what I swore I wouldn't. I have been eating sugar: lollies, chocolate, cake, you name it.  Also drinking wine every night.  I very rarely eat that sort of stuff (umm, the sugary treats, that is - wish I could say the same about wine) & definitely did not suddenly want to become a food-scoffing pig in place of cigarettes, because that brings a whole new swag of problems!  But alas, I admit I totally lost all interest and motivation for healthy eating or gym going, and had a bad couple of weeks on the healthy lifestyle front.  Honestly, it was like I just didn't care anymore.  This has been me.

Not sure if this has been due to the stopping smoking, or finding out about my fibroids, or maybe a combination of both ... maybe I just needed a bit of relaxation & comfort eating.  But no more!  I have been healthy the last few days & went to the gym yesterday (getting sore now). 

In other news, I have been to the specialist and he was very nice.  He thinks getting the fibroids surgically removed is the best idea & has referred me to just the guy to do it.  Hopefully he will be able to this via the keyhole type of surgery, which requires much less recovery time than full-on abdomen surgery.  However, there is always the risk that, while under, something may happen that necessitates a hysterectomy.  Obviously this would be terrible and not at all what I want.  The doctor told me, although it is a risk he has to inform me of, he has never seen this actually happen.  I will be seeing the surgeon dude on Wednesday & hopefully can book in for the procedure really soon.  Regardless of whether he can do it the keyhole way or it's full open surgery, either way we will have to then wait 3 months before starting to try for a baby.  It's just that the keyhole surgery would be a much shorter and easier recovery for me.  I will give an update after I see him.
