I can relate to your bad weekend! I'm so glad you found some reasons to smile and the blackyeyed pea analogy is a good one.
I would bet it's safe to say your kids have an amazing mom already:)
And I think I have bad breath too.

I never even did purees. It sounded disgusting to me. I ate soft food and took really small bites. It didn't hurt.

Don't worry you can eat them/ I am a little over 2 mos out and am eating anything I want. and yes - I lose slowly because of it. but that's ok. I'm still losing and happy ( mostly) with what I eat.

I'm looking forward to the rest of your story. Just the simple act of telling is liberating, isn't it?

Reenalee, I am so sorry you have been through all of this. I support you speaking your mind here on any topic you need.
And I think this does have to do with weight loss... the emotional weight off your shoulders as you escaped this horrible abuse! Not all weight is physical...

Blogs are here for that reason - we don't have to make a blog entry specifically about weight loss or anything else. A blog is where you post your personal thoughts, experiences, or anything else you want to post.
Sometimes sharing your feelings is the only way you can free yourself from the "drama". That saying about how the truth will set you free - well it's true.
I'm following this blog because I'm interested. Not everyone will be interested. The solution is to just not read it if the "drama" bothers you or doesn't fit your ideas regarding relevant posts.

Thank you so much for having enough insight and acceptance about your experiences to post them here. I'll keep reading as long as you want to keep writing.

Thanks! Now waiting for pg 3

Ok....I'm now waiting for the story to be continued!

Awww....it's gonna be ok! I understand everything you are describing. The emotional part of this whole thing was something I was completely unprepared for. It hit me like a ton of bricks. It's now been 5 weeks and I'm still adjusting but it is a whole lot better than the first 2 weeks. It gets so much easier when you can move along to some real food. Even some scrambled eggs made me feel a lot less sorry for myself.
Am I sorry i did it? Nope. This battle with food is something I never could beat for any length of time. Now I'm winning the battle all right and it comes with a price. You are ahead of the game because you recognize the price up front.
You can do it! You a are strong girl and a very pretty one at that. You can conquer the food demons one battle at a time. All you have to do is make it through your 2 weeks pre op diet and it will be downhill from there. You have friends right here to help you thru and I've read your posts since you joined here - you are a smart lady and you got this:)

Awesome! You'll handle all the little issues that arise just fine. I hope your surgery goes great and you have a speedy recovery.

Excellent article - thanks for posting

No I don't think you are being petty at all. People can be so insensitive and selfish.
