Off to a wedding for the weekend....
Jul 27, 2011
I see all of your stories and they are the only thing keeping me on track to believe this could work and happen for me. All I want is a successful surgery with minimal complaints (or none) and a new healthier life. I see so many of you have it. You are all an inspiration to people like me starting this journey.
Well wish me luck to be social, its a two night event with tons of partying ahead (I'm not much of a partier) but I think I might let loose and just enjoy the love and good company. Life is short, isn't it?
Self Sabotage
Jul 18, 2011
I've had another weekend full of bad eating habits. I am playing this mind game with myself now, one I am not familiar with. I am scared that this is going to be the last time I ever get to eat______(fill in the blank) so I justify to myself the fact that I am going to indulge one last time.....I am not sure how my relationship with food has become more unhealthy as I already thought I hit rock bottom. I keep telling myself when I see the surgeon, I will start making the necessary adjustments, but the honest half of me tells myself I am full of crap!!! The restricted diet after surgery has been a very hard thing to swallow, and I am now think about it daily... Is this normal???
I do hope that with the surgery it forces me to have a different relationship with food. I hope that with the my first visit to the surgeon all of this becomes a little more real and I get my stuff together. I went to my first support group meeting a couple of weeks ago and was amazed to see the stories and struggles everyone has been through. I figure I will be one of those stories someday soon. All I know is I am sick of being this way, being unhappy and unsocial.
