Well Here Goes.......

Well Here I go less than 24 hours from now I will be under the knife a little nip tuck !!!!!
And I will be in La La Land sleeping away.

Having a LBL and a breast lift/augmentation. I am so nervous- Last Nite I laid in bed crying feeling so guilty and wondering if I really should be doing this- I am thinking to myself there are so many people out there unemployed , losing there homes and going hungry, struggling to make ends meet - and I here I am living the high life and being frivolous. How much could this money I am spending on myself could help them- I am so selfish.
My husband tried to reassure me that I deserve it and that we donate to all sorts of charities weekly, monthly, we feed the homeless at church and that I am always giving and helping other people and that for once it was time for me to do something for myself. But.....................

I still can't help from feeling guilty. Did anyone else feel this way. Will I regret it and continue to feel guilty afterwards. Is this just my nerves playing with my head the day before surgery???

Thx for your input.

Cheers

Banish that guilt girlfriend.  This is YOUR time and it's OK.  Like your DH said, you are doing things to help out those in need.

I too paid out of pocket and could have used the money on a multitude of other things, but only being 1 month out I can tell you I AM worth it and so are YOU...

Thx I am trying to work on not feeling guilty, really just keeping myself busy so I don't think about any of it is my strategy right this moment. Thx again I will work on it and I appreciate your support.

Honey,  look in the mirror tonight and tell yourself you deserve this, you are worthy!  I'm sure you have worked very hard to get to this point in your weight loss journey and now you deserve to finish the process.  It sounds like you do a great deal for other people and now allow yourself to do something special for you.
  Wishing you the absolute best with your surgery!

Almost every one of us goes through the guilt part - it's a lot of money.  But you just have to rememeber that you do so much good for so many others, that once in a while it's YOUR turn to have something good happen for you.  And the happiness you feel about yourself once this is done will only add to the happiness you have to pass along to others.  Good luck with your surgery!!

Thank you so much for making me see things in a different lite when I am happy I will bring more happiness to those around me. I appreicate your support and kind words. Now if I could just hurry and get to the operating room I would fee l even better.

Thanks Again

You are a good person! It's ok!!! There are a lot of other ways to give to people. Don't negate the importance of this. You will be fine!!!
