I think I am okay with the psych eval.

ROTF My friend went with me to my evaluation and she was outside the door and could hear us laughing. The Dr said I was well informed and educated on the WLS and asked me some pretty tough questions. I did okay in answering. I think anyway. After telling him I was sexually abused as a child he asked me the question that has kept me fat for a long time. What are you going to do when you are attractive to other men? You won't be able to turn to food anymore to put on your armor. I ....hmmmm......I told him I was not sure but I am ready to face the demon. I have to start thinking differently. I am ready with my support system plugged in and ready to go! Guys I hope this wasn't to graphic for ya. I like to speak truth because it may help someone else. If anyone has hints or comments I would appreciate them. If it is offensive to someone just let me know and I won't speak of it again. But I know alot of women deal with this problem. Thanks for listening....blah blah blah! Have a great evening yall!

Naming the beast is most the battle. Good for you. I was molested as a child too by a family member for many years. You know it, you've owned it, and now you defeat it. That won't be easy, but you can do it. Use your support and work it! You sound like you are really on the right path. I wish you all the best in the world. I think we need to share these things. Sometimes allowing other people to identify that they are not alone is a big help. You may be helping someone out there more than you know, and I your honesty and openess! BIG HUG!!! Val

I am very happy it went well, and sad for you that you had to go thru some things as a kid. I Like what Val said, you will do well. Mike

YOU WILL DO SO WELL!! I know you will. You have all the support and resources to get you through this and if needed you can always go into some more regular therapy to deal with all the emotional issues when you drop the weight. We are always here for you too.
