Oh Cookies and chocolate, pastries and candy. It is time we parted ways.

I have fond memories of you melting on my tongue and and crunching as I chewed down on you.

You swept me away from the tumult of my daily life. You were there for me when others were not. You have always been my safety net.

But this long relationship, a co-dependent one a best, has destroyed me. Destroyed my confidence, my love of life, my love of myself.

Tomorrow, when I start my liquid diet, I say goodbye to you. And it is with a heavy, heavy, heart. I fear that there will be nothing to replace you, to fill the void you have filled for me all these years.

But it is time, dear friends, salty and sweet, gooey and crunchy, that I say goodbye to you and start on my journey to a new and better life.

Thank you all!

I realize that at the bottom of all this, I'm scared. Scared of what will be there when the food isn't- having to feel the feelings.

Give me strength because I just ate my last "free" meal tonight!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
