healthny

looking for wisdom how to begin to let go of my "fat girl with the pretty face" self concept (one I have had my entire life having never been even close to "normal weight") and learn not to be fearful of the thin, healthy girl inside. I recognize in myself if I don't reslove this issue it may well sabatoge my lapband efforts. Wow, just verbalizing that for the first time in my life has brought tears to my eyes. Anyone else feeling/fealt the same thing? any suggestions/advice???
