Enduring Discomfort

Good luck in the morning,  Hope you have an angel  that will report to us on the boards...angels are important, they do more than just post though.....

Stick with us, we are good butt kickers to get people back on track.....

Darlene, you did not make me cry. It's the process I'm going thru that is bringing the tears. I'm so glad you posted your message today and it was extremely helpful to me.
I appreciate your wisdom and insights, keep 'em coming!

Darlene, WOW right to the heart of things.  Thanks for the timely post.  I'm just back after a 2 month fight with myself about the very same thing your post is about.  I'm in control again, but reading what I've been feeling was mighty purging. 

"new" Darlene:  good luck on your re-birth tomorrow.  You'll be in my prayers.

I have a lifetime of "bad" habits. I have gravitated toward some of the most negative people who just reaffirmed that my bad habits were justified because I really was subhuman. I have eaten my way through all the pain. It was my way of protecting myself and now I have eaten a phyiscal wall around myself that is threatening my health. I want to change those bad habits now. I am going to have this WlS as for a second chance at life. I have  no illusions that just because I have this surgery, it will make my pain go away. I am hoping as the pounds melt away Iwill finally find a "new" me. I plan on continuing counseling in the extreme during the weight loss. Habit by habit I will change. Nancy

I'm very happy for you and your determination. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could wake up and have our heads on straight? It does take time as does anything that is worthwhile.
Be strong and forge ahead knowing there is a " new you" as the prize.
Support is everything...don't be a stranger.
