This site is amazing

Feb 03, 2010

 I have been really impressed by all the great people on this site. I feel so supported and informed. I really think this site is giving me the support and in-site to make this whole thing a success. I have met some great people and I think I have made some really good friends. There are some people I have been regularly emailing with that I consider to be friends even though we have never met. I can be very outgoing in social situations, never have been shy. But I don't relate very well sometimes to others. I don't feel that way here at all. Maybe because most of the people I generally hang around with do not have and have never had a serious weight problem. I am so excited by this journey and have such high hopes for it. I have wanted to be thinner for so long. Like many others on this site I am concerned about all the changes my body will go through and also worry about the surgery. My kids and old man worry about me making it through it. But I have told them if it is my time, it will happen no matter where I am or what I am doing. But my time will come a lot sooner if I don't do something.
 By the way I thank all of you who have befriended me on this site, and am grateful to all of you. I enjoy all your emails and stories and hope I can be a good friend and help support you in your need.

 I talked on line yesterday to an old bf, I told him I was considering this and he asked "what happened? How did I gain so much weight?"
 I told him I had not gained any since he had seen me last but that I had not lost any either. He said he thought wls was only for people over 100 lbs overweight. I told him I am 100 pounds overweight, but thank you for not ever noticing lol.
