Problem day..ANXIETY

Monica,

We have the same problem: control and lack of control.  I hate feeling anxious over those things that I have no control over.  My problem is how do I handle that anxiety?  This wls has been a trip and having lost all of this weight and not wanting to regain even a pound keeps me on my toes.  I think us former obese, super obese, or super morbidly obese have this skeleton in our closet that we know is there and others know is there and we fight to keep it there becasue if it comes out, we are going to lose the battle.  I touch my bones, like my ribs, hips, or shoulders, and just think how great it feels to have these bones that are my validation that I have done it.  When I'm stressed, I touch a bone.  I know that can be a double entendra but I mean my bones and remember when I couldn't even find a bone and am happy that a bone is proof that I, you know, did it.  Let the stress go.  You and I are going to have to work on that.
