I met with an incredible therapist.  It was like talking with a friend.  What a blessing!
She suggested I get a copy and the "Beck Diet Solution".  It's a 6-week workbook to learn to think like a "thin person".  It's a great book.  I even downloaded the book on tape so I can listen to it while working.  It's been a good tool as I prepare for my surgery.

Don't panic.  Therapists, etc are people too!  If you feel overwhelmed, it's okay to take a couple seconds and JUST BREATH!     We've all gone through this an you can, too!
