Support
Suzanne,
I am so glad to hear from you. The support of your peers is very important, and even though you feel different because you are further out than the rest of us, please remember that it is a give and take. You are providing a valuable resource to the newer post ops by letting them know that it gets harder down the road. They need to know this. And you get the support that you need to stay on track. You need to come back to the monthly meeting. I missed you last month. I also believe that you are right about finding a counselor to help you with your issues. If you think you need some help then you do. Get the help, do the work, you are worth it.
In the meantime, you know what you need to do. Start walking again, it will help with your depression. Give me a call and we can start setting up some saturday walks. Up your protein, it will help curb the cravings. Plan your meals, clean the crap out of the house, don't bring money to work, CUT OUT THE SUGAR COMPLETELY, etc. You know what you need to do, just do it for today. Just one day.
Remember, you are loved and cared for. Reach out and we are here.
Mary
