New to board

For now I am able to keep myself accountable for the food choices I make. I don't feel Over-eaters anonymous is the right choice for me at this time. There are a couple of factors that have changed in my life.  1. I am happier and more content with my life then I have ever dreamed I could be (with the exception of my weight and health) 2. I remarried after being alone for many years(24yrs). My husband is very loving and supportive no matter what I weigh.  (my first husband was the opposite, very abusive and demoralizing)  3.  I came to terms with my childhood and have been able to work through a lot of abuse issues.  4.  I have learned that I am worthy to be loved and that it is more then OK to love myself, it is essential. 5. I  believe that I am a good person and deserve to be happy and healthy. My husband asked me...Would you ever give up on someone you love?...then said..Why would you give up on yourself? He made me believe that I am worth the effort and I can't give up on myself. If this diet does not produce desirable results with a true 100% commitment from me...then when we save enough to self-pay for WLS, that is the route I will take....but I will never lay down and give up on myself again.  I am doing this for me and not for anyone else..I want to be healthy and be able to spend many years enjoying life with my DH.
