I struggle with the same issues. I have basically limited support and know that i am making one of the biggest decisions of my life alone. I haven't questioned my decision as much as I thought I would, i really have a peace about it. Like you said we did this to our selves and we're the only ones that can reverse it. Whether that is by means of surgery or if we had the discipline we wish we had by diet and exercise. My psych said it best when i asked her if she thought i was crazy for wanting to do this. She said, "I don't see anything wrong with someone who sees a problem and wants to fix it, especially when they are holding themselves accountable". Because at the end of the day we have to change what we been doing surgery or no surgery you won't get a different outcome.. Good luck!

I think you look amazing! I am just beginning my journey but i have already realized that you can't make progress and feel good about yourself or anything you do if you are surrounded by negativity. I have a friend that is worried that if i become skinnier that i will treat her differently or become to good to hang out with her. My thoughts are if you are supportive then I don't care what I look like I don't turn my back on you. If you are negative, envious or jealous then I probably will be different. What's good for me may not be for you but if you truly care about me then your only concern should be at the end of the day if it makes me happy then you are happy. Too bad other people don't feel the same!
