To be a Healthy mama -of course you are terrified about ending your love affair with food. I felt exactly the same way. Food has been a source of comfort, pleasure, and for me (embarrassingly) a recreational past time.

I shared these feelings with my best friend the night before surgery. She said "think of your relationship w/food like a relationship with a toxic boyfriend. Sure on the surface he is fun, but time after time he lets you down, the fun is short lived, and in the end he makes your life miserable. ".

I don't know why that perspective helped me, but it did.

Time for a change. New friends, new life, new you!!!good luck and welcome to the sleevers!!
