  1. Riding That Roller Coaster: The Emotional Side of Weight Loss Surgery You Might Not Expect

    loriannfos replied to 7 Bites_Jen's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
    Thanks for the excellent information! It has been a wild ride for me thus far. But a successful one: down 46# I am so glad I established a therapist prior to my surgery. The monthly appointments ensure that I 'Check in' on how I am doing emotionally.

  2. Hog-tight, Horse-high, & Peanut M & M's

    loriannfos replied to Colleen Cook's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
    Great metaphor! I thought of it today while at a lunch meeting. A colleague seated across from me was eating French Fries (my Achilles heel). I was feeling sad, deprived... But then a thought popped into my mind, 'I am stronger than a French Fry '. Within an instant the negative thoughts were replaced with a sense of calm, Zen-like centeredness. To quote a popular 80s song, "What a Feeling!" Thank you for sharing such a wonderful way to reframe a negative "cannot have, self-deprive" into a positive "I am strong, I have a choice, I am empowered" . Kudos!!!
