Hello all!

Not sure how active this forum is or if there are any regulars, but just wanted to say HI!  I have come to realize that behind the fat there were some major emotional issues lurking. Let me tell you, it was quite a surprise. I thought I was emotionally stable and healthy. I guess not so much.

I am now considering seeing a therapist because I know I need that extra boost. I have been dealing with things... self-worth, body-image, daddy issues... by myself but it's time I get some help.

Therapy has been a life savor for me... It's hard to discuss this stuff but it is very needed in my life right now.  Good luck to you!

I am so glad you are considering therapy to help you sort out the emotional baggage that went along with the eating behaviors.  I did things differently.  I had 17 years of therapy for my eating disorder before I had my surgery.  I had also been in outpatient treatment for the eating prior to the surgery.  The surgery just intensified my emotions, and gave me some heavy duty stuff to work on in therapy.

Good luck with your next step.  It is worth the effort.

Good morning Elena..  I think you are a smart woman for seeking assistance for your spiritual problems.  As they say..  our WLS operated on our stomachs.. not our heads.. or heart!
