Middlesex Support Group Meeting
I was a virgin too!! I was the one with the kids..my name is Laura......I haven't even met with the doctor yet but I figured going to the meetings now wouldn't hurt....I think going often will help a great deal....we all know what being heavy feels like.......it's not what thin people 'think'...they don't know what we go through....they don't understand like we do how comments and looks just chip away at your very being and soul......and stay with you.....like I said last night...even when WE get thin.....we wil always be big girls...and I will wear that hat proudly.. I look at it this way...going through the fat stage of my life was just a lesson.......having surgery is going to be like a rebirth.....and as I grow as a new person, and get stronger, I will be able to help others who are like me......be an advocate...and help them through.......we weren't put on this earth to see through each other....WE WERE PUT HERE TO SEE EACH OTHER THROUGH!! anyway....I am looking forward to the next meeting....it is so unlike weigh****chers.....I've been there a billion times....(kids have gone there too....and my kids actually liked last nights meeting too)....THANK YOU...to all who shared last night...and thank you Jen for starting this thread.....I guess I have gabbed enough......I don't want to take up TOO much of your time........ Thanks Laura!
I thought the meeting was great too. Like the women who sat next to me said, ww is very superficial. They trot out the assigned topic, like "getting through the holidays" or "Becoming More Active", and to me it often seems scripted. Really the thing that is the hottest topic is food. Of course! We all love it. I do feel it helped me understand nutrition and portion sizing. But the ww meetings have not been really helpful. I'm glad you came-I think they will be a big part of success with WLS. Just like the surgery is a tool, the support group is another tool.
