Looking for support group
Hi, I have been making a lot of changes since I started this journey from referral. To me the waiting feels like a test so glad there is a waiting period. I have learnt so much about myself that I never knew lol.. I'm more happier these days then before. I have cut out pop, coffee, eating all meals, even bought few books.. One book that I really like was gastric bypass surgery. It sure was a wake up call for me learning that the surgery is not going to help with mental relationship I have with food.. I learn why I eat what kind of relationship I have with food.. I gave up on using a scale it's too stressful and depressing. I feel better, happier, have more energy, not dragging my butt in the afternoon. I am starting to notice my clothes getting bigger. I bought pair of pants a size smaller few weeks ago by accident when I tried them on felt like they were going to rip. This morning I tried them on it fit. I told one friend about wls she discouraging me from having the surgery so I haven't told anyone else yet. Will do so when I am farther into the process. Now that I am feeling little more positive that I can do this I am looking for support group In Pickering/Scarborough area.
