Hi congrats on taking the first steps to be healthy, I must say that when I began my journal and they told me 6 months if weight management I was like that's a long time well it's been 7 months and I just got my first surgeon appointment which will make it 8 months, but what I have learned during these months are more about me, you say that food has been your go to person for happiness or sadness, you will learn why you use food to comfort you, what your triggers are, what saddens you and begin to understand why you turn to food for comfort . I would strongly suggest journaling beginning right now you will be amazed with reading and confronting your fears and anxiety which underlies why you are truly eating .most of us are eating because we are truly unhappy with ourselves and the state we are in, you mentioned you are married and would like kids focus on getting healthier for you, being a better person, loving yourself . I truly realize I'm the key to my own happiness, it's not my husband it's me. Good luck and remember we are all hear for you .

I know exactly how you feel it's been 7 months for me and I just got my surgeon appointment, hang in there, it's ok to vent we all understand, but remember you did not get to this point overnight and you are getting closer to a new you, feel free to vent anytime we truly understand, please feel free to email me .

Hi congrats on your choice to be healthy, I haven't had my surgery yet but I should have it next month , I would make a list of all the positives you would have if you had the surgery and then then list the negatives ones. I hope the positives outweighs the negatives.
