from eating to drinking

After my weight loss was so successful my co-workers really began to dislike me, mainly because we were to have the surgery together ,but iI was the only one approved. I was so hurt by the fact that I thought these girls were my friend. That I began to drink heavly. I went from one drink a year on new years eve, to 5 drinks a day everyday. Boy was I a mess i'm finally getting a grip on things. I packed my bags left the booz and the bimbos in indiana and moved. Now i'm happy, drunk free, looking and feeling good. I'm now on a great job and the lovely part about it no one knows I had GBS

Hi I am so sorry that you have been through such a horrible time, but am so glad that you are on the right track to taking care of yourself. Starting a new life, and forgeting the hurt is the best way. No one needs to know what you have been through (WLS or Drinking). These new friends you will meet will love you for you. Not the weight you loss. You might, one day build relationships with people that you feel comfortable to share these things with and maybe you won't. Just remember you are a strong person. You realized your problems with food and did something about it and had surgery. You realized your problem with the drinking and did something about that too. Not many people would have that strengh or courage to do what you did. Some of my friends changed their opinions of me too. They said they were happy about my weight loss, and said I looked great but some are also heavy, so I don't know how sincere there comments were. I am sure most of it is jealousy. Just hang in there. You have friends here that will talk anytime and give the best advise they can. I've needed them a few times and they were there. You are brave and a strong person. Don't forget that. Good Luck Lisa
