I ask this because yesterday I had a get together and one of my coworkers said a comment that has had me crying since. She said " I remember when you first started the job you were skinny, And I heard you were even skinnier before that. Then the next time I saw you after you had your daughter I was like Nooo that can't be Nicole. I couldnt believe it". I have been feeling like crap since. I notice since surgery anything someone says about my weight sends me to tears or feeling bad the whole day. Is this normal?

sounds like a case of the shoulda, coulda, wouldas. of course none of us would have gotten ourselves into this predicament on purpose but we always want to blame ourselves. I wonder if that is the cause of the tears?

You are here now, you've had surgery, new life is on the way. don't let the old image of yourself sabotage this new life.

You can do this!
