It will be 9 months to the day of my surgery on Friday 7/31, and I am afraid.

I am afraid of the things I know I can eat, I am afraid of my lack of control over the food and my emotions. I am afraid of gaining weight.

I thought I knew. I really thought that I would not have this problem. What was I thinking? How dumb am I? I used to read other people's journeys and read their struggles and strife, and I thought not me...

Yeah, no .. thought wrong. my...
