24 Hours and counting

Okay, so I am getting a little nervous about this shot in the stomach thing. In case your wondering, it's just in the tissue, not actually in the stomach. I thought my dad was going to come unglued when I told him shots in the stomach, because he thought I meant this huge long needle that actaully went into the stomach organ. It was kind of comical. But after I cleared that up and told him that I was doing this under close supervision of a doctor, nurse and nutritionist, he felt a wave of relief overcome him! But, anyways, that was a little off track. See, my best friend has really no fear, so she said she would give me the shot and I could do hers, but how practical is that, she works a completely different schedule than me and, let's face it, she won't be able to do it everytime. So after I realize she won't be there every waking second, which would be nice, I asked my boyfriend of 5 years to do it. I should have known better. That was NOT going to happen. He saw me cut open from hip to hip for a c-section and can't poke me with a little needle? Men, I swear. So after exhausting all my options for people to poke me, I have accepted the fact that I am on my own for this part. I guess, when you look at the big picture, it's only 40 days and possibly 40 pounds! I've endured worse and I think I can do this. Well, wish me luck. I will update after the first shot tomorrow.
