  1. I never even thought about hiding it..I tell strangers Co workers family ..enemy's..I'm exited about it..its me and the way I have always seen it is ...if you don't like me for me then what are you doing still around..if you wanna judge..go ahead..my world is still spinning and I'm still in the center..I never even thought of keeping it a secret..people that don't want the best for you..screw em..I don't see it as cheating ..I see it as action .a sacrifice to have the life you want..over eating is the only dysfunctional behavior that people can see visually. You could be a cold hearted b***h ..but no one will know it. You could be a drug addict and hide that..you could be self rightious and when youbealk into a room no one will know ..some people have abuse their families ...drink too much ..horrible parents..hearltess..selfish..when they walk into a room. You have no idea what there issues are..and they can fake it all day and night..a fat person can't do that. People know immedialty they eat to much. I would have rather eaten too Much than been any of those things listed above.. all of the thongs listed above are horrible things that over time cause big problems..the only thing about the person that eats too much is they aren't hurting anyone else but them selves. So when I compare me with that person that would judge me based on the choice to have surgery....I would say I'm the better person..I have a heart of gold..and I never needed to judge anyone in my life so that I could feel better about me..I can sit with a homeless person or menatlly insane person without a judgement..so bottom line if your judging me because of this choice ..your the one with the problem..and there is no surgery to fix what your suffering from. So say it proud ...don't be ashamed peeps!..
  2. That is awesome!! Good work..safe trip home;)
  3. Mine acted the same way..just like totally blahhh..whenever I would talk about it..but come surgery day he never left me..he sat up in a chair and slept there all night when everyone else had a hotel around the corner..I think for them it's not real until its happening..he was soooo supportive..more than ibever thought because he didn't even know which surgery I was having or how it worked until 3 weeks before..guys are strange!!
  4. Lol..it was good. I messed up though..read post open post..ugh
  5. Ok first off..please don't start off by telling me anything about an eating disorder..because I am a therapist and know very much about what it takes to be diagnosed with a eating disorder. Lol.. I ordered wonton soup and gave my daughter the content so I could have the broth. I had the dumb idea I could have a bite of a wonton and spit it out..I accidentally swallowed part of the noodle..I'm freaked .nothing happened..but I really stick to the rules ..I had no pain..I'm one week out and kind of nervous What so you guys think..enough to cause damage?
