Coming Clean - long

If you've ever read The Secret... or anything like it.... Believe that you already have it. Believe that you have already been approved and act as if the approval is already here. I know you have a lot of hope and that is fantastic! My prayers are with you!

Elena ~ thank you ~ yes, I totally have already claimed it and I believe it, but life has thrown many challenges my way lately that I didn't necessarily expect so as bad as I want it and I believe it will, I suppose there's just a little questioning going on. But, I just tossed that out the window! LOL I appreciate all you've brought to the board for the banders! We were missing that on here. Now Peach & I are bringing the DS!!!

The stars are getting ready to line up for you real soon. IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN...DARN IT!!

Thank you, Sandie! Will I see you on Friday at Randall's coffee?

You've got your ducks in a row and that approval letter from BCBS is only a matter of time.  Hang in there and keep up the great work.  And thanks, by the way, for being such a great encouragement to the rest of us.  I hope we can pay you back as you need it.

Thank you & you're welcome! It's so fun and encouraging to watch everyone go through their process!

Here's what is going to work for me. Wake up every day and tell myself that I will not eat ____ (fill in the blank) for that day. Everyday start over. Don't overwhelm yourself with doing it for a week, or 2 weeks, or for a month. Mini-goals.  Big hugs because we can do this, Farrah

Amy you are human, just like the rest of us :) The good thing is that you know what you need to do now and you are ready to do it. Good luck on your appeal.

Hi Amy, I am confident you will win your appeal.  You know what you want and you will continue with the appeal until it happens.   You're just like the rest of us.  You fall down, you dust yourself off and continue on because that the only option you have other than failure and that's not an option for us.  We've worked too hard to fail.  Sounds like your focused on the goal and I have no doubt you will be fine.  It's tough to break the old eating habit but life will be alot simpler after surgery if you can.  I'm still terrified of carb laden food.  Can't do it......I don't know where I would end up if I did.  I hope someday I can trust myself to eat a small serving of carbs and move on.....but I'm afraid I never will.  It's why I had WLS.  Carbs are evil!!!! Looking forward to meeing you on Friday night at MG coffee. Hugs, Bonnie

Amy~Good for you getting yourself back on track it is not easy and it seems that we will always be doing this through life.  I will keep praying that you get approval from BCBS ASAP!  Love & Hugs! Nicole
