When I was talking to the doctor during my psych eval, I said again what I keep saying to everyone. We HAVE to have support in order to be successful. SO many people, have the surgery and are not successful. Because they don't deal with the reasons they got fat in the first place. It's one of the things that makes Dr. Callery so unique. Just being able to come here, and vent, and know it's "out there", and people are listening, and understanding, and sharing similar experiences, is such a blessing.

Barbara my little dollface, I know it's difficult to talk to your brother. It was hard enough for me to talk to my sister. I have a brother I never mention not because I don't love him, but because we aren't close at all. I know I need to connect with him. I'm going to make a deal with you. By the end of the next week, I will somehow connect with him. Even if it's just writing him an email. Life is just too short, and regardless of how different he and I are, he is still my brother, and although we came from the same place.... we came from different places too.

Marcia, you such a sweetheart! I can't wait to see you again, and marvel at how well you are doing! Maybe I'll force Bridget to come do another MK class, one where she doesn't forget all her product at home *snicker*. Just an excuse to get everyone up to my house! Plus there is also my birthday party my friends are throwing for me! I'll have to make a post about that. Either way, I have to see you soon and give you a big hug, my dwindling little friend!

Traci I know what you mean exactly. It's like witnesses to a car accident. You will never get the same exact story. I don't know why that is, but it allows for us to situations from different perspectives. As long as we talk about it, and don't live in a tiny little bubble of self awareness. Something I need to learn.... the world does not revolve around me.
