THANK YOU EVERYONE!

I just returned from MIA and I am SO glad I did. I just finished reading some of the posts from the last couple days. I was feeling "not normal" a couple weeks ago because I could eat anything I wanted -( not alot but still!!) I like to snack and was worried that my surgery had come undone or something!! And yes - my honeymoon stage is over but I still have my tool and just need to work with it!! Easier said than done to someone who loves food, likes to eat etc - like alot of you have admitted!! But just reading your posts and honesty made me feel better knowing that I AM NORMAL!! And if we all work together and help each other- WE WILL MAKE IT!! Each in our own way. maybe down real curvy roads and maybe hills too - some HIGH ones and even tho I am jealous of the ones of you that have the straight and narrow roads and are able to stay on them - The end result will be the same for ALL of us. So Once again - thanks to everyone for your honesty. You all REALLY HELPED ME!! Love, Hugs and Pryaers, Darlene

welcome back Darlene! Don't let anyone make you feel badly, in here or anywhere else in this life we are all on a journey and people take different paths. For the first time in just about forever, i'm going hiking iwth my kids and some friends. Now keep in mind, ANDI DOESN'T HIKE. I can dance like nobodies business, i work out, i did gymnastics but actual walking/hiking causes me to drip over dust so this is a big fete for me. Be Well and know we'll be here when you need us and even if you don't. Hugs, ANDI

Hi Darlene! I am so glad you're back! And I'm glad you feel normal ... I feel normal now too! It was nice to get some of those issues out in the air because I was feeling like the oddball for eating so much and having the desire to eat. Anyway, it's nice to know that others can relate! So glad you're back! Deanna

smile... there are so many shades of normal, I think that we are all 'getting there' by hook or by crook. kat

Hi Darlene Welcome back All I can say is your about as normal as the rest of us! Good days /Bad days Some of us struggle more than others..... ( I have to confess I had a few onion rings today)... very bad!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway Take care Jean
