DELETED
Good Morning COF Peeps~ Let me say--I LOVE YOU GUYS...the COF support meeting means everything to me and is something I look forward to each and every month. I find myself getting misty eyed when I hear a story I can relate to (which is most-LOL) and ecspically when I spoke of my WOW moments-my WHOLE like is like a WOW moment now...Claudette-you make it so easy to be a part of this wonderful group, and you have to know how much we love and care for you. Its like an extended family....One of the reasons I decided to go ahead and go-is that I am in pain no matter what I do anymore-but I knew what it would do for my soul-and thats a pretty huge part of this journey, one that I knew you would ALL understand, and I knew it would do the heart good to be there-and it did.....My ONLY complaint would be-it never seems to be long enough to me! I wish we could just stay until we were all done-LOL-so like until Friday morning-LOL LOL....
I think that we do have a group of the most honest people, some of the most amazing people-and a good variety! WE have the best of ALL personalities-and I know for me-that so much of my life that was a closed book before (because I felt ALONE in the obesity struggles and had NO ONE to talk to about it for years and years) I now-tell of those daily struggles, even the most personal ones, and I have had the most astounding results-from people going-I have that problem too-but I thought I was the only one-or you dont know how much it meant to me that you shared that-and I knew I wasnt alone or the only one-its amazing to me what I will share now-LOL...and maybe even over-share, but through the journey, I have found that I have experienced something that because of my pain and suffering and willingness to give of myself-maybe I can help others and they definitely will know they arent alone-because that is a really horrible feeling to have!! I never feel that way with all of you! Ok-I could go on and on and on about how wonderful our leader and the members are-all I will say, is that my life is very enriched because of our support group-and IF I had to live my life over-and be thin, but never would have met all of you-I would go down that same road all over again, in a heartbeat-because I love you all that much!!! All my love, Janet
Janet you so beautiful put everything the rest of us have in our hearts , I know it is all in mine and wish i could say all of it as beautifully as you do. All i can add to that is that if ever anyone needs me Im there and like Janet said before surgery i wasnt there , ever for myself. The pain of obesity is a very hurtful and ugly thing and there isnt anything that can compare to the way we feel now , maybe someone that is realeased from prison that was innocent and spent many years locked up then to gain freedom , maybe that might compare i dont know.
Claudette dont ever think you arent appreciated because without you we wouldnt have our "family" .
See you in June. already ready for the next one ...Im like Janet wish we could have the freedom to stay longer. Is that a possibility?

"WLS is about making better choices, a healthier lifestyle and seeing how little you can eat. Portion control is the key to all weight loss surgeries. Bottom line - it isn't how much you can eat - it is how little you can eat."
