It's Hard to Lose Your Best Friend: FOOD

I feel so lonely today. That's what I've been covering up with food for so many years.

I'm not lonely for friendship. I'm lonely for someone who is more than a friend. I've been married for 27 years and feel very alone.

I've always thought and told my therapist that if I lost weight, I'd leave my husband. For many years I fought losing weight because of what I thought was the inevitable outcome.

Now weight is interferring with other things I want to do, and so I'm going to lose it. And I guess I'll just have to wait and see if my prediction for losing my husband along with the weight, comes true.

Hi d4lussier, I have been married for 28 years. I also have a love affair with food. It is so hard for me to keep my paws out of the cookie jar. I finally tossed the jar out and now I have no friends any more. I have a date with a lap band on July 20, I am getting all ready for this and yesterday I get call and the nurse says to me, we had a cancellation do you want to come in on Monday???? I am like OMG yes, but I am not sure my head is ready for this? The TWIST is that the insurance has not send back the approval yet because my date is a month away RIGHT. Well my surgery time is at 12:30 so maybe I can call the insurance and they will fax over the paper work.. It always is paper work...... I just have to take it a day at a time. If the paper work comes in I have surgery and if not my morning will be spend at the hospital talking to the insurance people. Go figure this life of mine. Sure NOT going to look for my cookie friends. Hope you do not mind me chatting away here. Thanks I hope all goes well for you. Best wishes. imaluckydog MAYBE???????
