Lets Get Busy with Support

I was reading a post this AM that made me think about support.  I wonder...Have you supported anyone lately in their quest for information, help, etc.  Well maybe we all should think about doing that....How can we support one another.  Sometimes its just reaching out here and writing down your thoughts so that others realize wow they are not alone with these thoughts.  Or just jot down you food demons.  We all have them or we would not be here.  But if we don't talk about them they stay around and bother us.   So let me be the first one to reach out and say I am posting this awareness topic and hope you all will join in and touch someone with a post.  I think food demons are tough each day brings a new one for me.  But I am learning that food is not everything.  You are everything!  So to let food have control is not an option for any of us.  We must realize we are good no matter what size we are.   Size is just a number.  Healthy attitudes about ourselves and our dealings with food must be achieved to be a healthy individual.  Lets be healthy together.

Debbie, This is a great post. Like you I face food demons everyday. Sometimes I wish I could remove myself from having to cook for others. It would be so much easier but in the real world this isn't possible for me and most people.I think this is my biggest challenge everyday. COOKING !!! To be honest I hate to cook. We have 5 people in our house that I cook for. I am working on eating for nutriene. I still like to eat and am an emotional eater so I have to be very careful not to eat for the wrong reason. Being an obese child myself I associate food with love. My mother loved me with food and died with a heart attack at 40 years old. She was 363lbs. This is the year I would like to see us all reach out to each other but especially to the obese kids. Lets start at home and all eat healthy together.. You are a great inspiration to all !! See you lighter. Joanne

I need someone to support me today just so I can stay upright!!!  In the middle of a real bad visit from Aunt Flo and I feel like I've hit the Anemia Wall head on at full speed!  I am so exhausted!  Can't stand up too fast or I get dizzy.  I know this will pass soon but I just hate feeling like this.  Thank god she ain't a ***** like this every time she visits or I'd be in for iron infusion every month. Well, better go take yet another iron pill.  I think I might have to triple my dosage when it's this bad from now on.  I need a nap.

Okay...another good thing about this surgery for me....Aunt Flo went away after 3 months of my surgery date and never showed her head again.  Thank you Thank you Thank you for this surgery!  Best thing I could have done! Debbie
