Im at one week to surgery.... Im very excited, very anxious and nervous too.  I had my first freak otu session and melt down and was overhwelmed with stress of work, surgery and life post op.  Thanks to my ladies on the VA Board they picked me up and all is well after some virtual hugs and a good nights rest.  

I am starting to see that food is a fuel not a fix for emotions. I am learning to talk more with my DH about things I am feeling and embracing the things I can not change (Serenity Prayer). As much as I hate scheduling things I am learning to schedule time at work to get things done, which results in less stress at home and I am accomplishing so much...actually being consistent with excercize... and have fallen in love with Water Aerobics. I will miss it while I am recovering.  

Deep Breaths each day, crossing things off... and taking one step one day at a time... Looking forward to breaking free and out of this burden I call a fat suit that has been with me whole life.  Saying good by to my emotional eater beater friend inside and embracing my RNY tool to dig out the strong, beautiful and confident me!
