Good Morning !

I am about to begin my journey with the lap band.  This Tuesday, I go for my free introductory seminar.  I'm excited.  I have tons of questions...

I would so love to have a "pen pal" to go back and forth with - not just about the lap band,  about all kinds of things, kids, family, etc., etc.  Although my girls are 24 and 27, they will always be my babies !  lol ! 

I am 52 years old.  I am married to my high school sweetheart for 32 years now.  We live on the Jersey shore.  I have two parrots, Zazu, a Hahn's mini macaw and Zachery, a Citron ****atoo.  They are now my "babies".  lol  !

There is so much going on in my life right now.  Big things. (I'm not referring to my  a*s   either)  lol !

Big things like, my baby brother, 45 years old, passed away recently.  Big things like, I just moved my 76 year old mom closer to where I live so that I can "be there" for her.  Big things like, my husband is possibly going to lose his job with a major newspaper.  They are sinking fast and everyone's job is in jeopardy.  Big things like, my 27 year old daughter suffers so with panic disorder.  My heart....     Big things like, I'm slowly killing myself with my "out of control" eating and need to do something to top the madness !

If you are not disgusted, repulsed or appalled by my plight(s), would you like to be my pen pal?  I'm a really good listener.  I've got lots of time, I don't work  ----   yet ! (I don't want to have to go back to work - somebody up there help !)  lol ! 

I believe in God.  He has helped me through many a rough time.  I am not "religious".  Been there, done that !  It's just me and Him, day in and day out !  I criticize no one.  I'm o.k., you're o.k. is my philosophy !

I'd rather do crafts than cook.  Been there, done that !  lol  !

I'm just a regular italian girl, who, apparently, has learned to use food as a loving friend. 

I love psychology (how the human mind works).  Nothing technical, just love to analyze why people are the way they are.  It's very interesting to me.  I come from a very dysfunctional family, so does my husband.  I think the more I understand the "whys", the more I'll gain peace, you know what I mean?

Whew  !  Are you still with me?  

Hope to hear from someone...

 ,

Your friend ?,

Cindy

Hi Cindy!
YGG! For taking the big step.  My Surgery is next Wednesday for the Lap-Band.  doing the liquid diet thing right ow and I am dying!!  LOL! I have forbid my husband to cook or eat in front of me or he might suffer some evil consequences!!!!!! Food smells are killing me too.  But I am more than half way thru it.
I think we have alot in common.  I too married my High School sweatheart.  We have been married 32 yrs and have 2 daughters, 30 and 27. We have one very beautiful grandaughter who will be 2 in Dec.  (a big reason I am doing this).

So if you are interested in sticking up a friendship email me anytime.
