failure!

I have a friend who came to me today wishing to have surgery. she wanted to know if i would do it again. I said "hell yes". i wished that i had done this a long time ago. she is like so many of us. anyway she e-mailed me tonight and said she feels like she is a failure because she can't do this on her own. i know she has recently tried to loose some weight, she lost 40# and it is creeping back up since she is not dieting anymore. same song and dance for all of us isn't it. well we should keep all of the ones that are contemplating haveing this surgery in the next few months. she made her first step by making her seminar appointment. i am very proud of her. well that's it. hope there is someone else out there that this will help..
