well i decided i needed to start documenting something. Well my my journey to has been a long one as for many of us. it started technically april '03 when (1) i surrendered my life over to God. I had hit such a low in my life and knew at that point I needed to renew my faith and start fresh. I was AWAKENED! the next step was taking responsibitlity in all aspect of life. Standing strong and tall as to the part I play in all of this. I couldn't allow life to slip by anymore. (2) helping myself meant getting health insurance. no longer being a spectator in my life but an actual participant. Once I was blessed with that, I was able to choose my very own doctor ... who knew? can u believe that I had my very own doctor to call my very own. that hadn't been the case HELL since I was born and had a pediatrician. (3) October '03, with my PCP we put together a plan that would proactively help me deal with the issues that made me choose FOOD as my DRUG of choice. it was at that point she assigned me to a nutritionist and yet another therapist. mind you, i had been in therapy on and off since age 11. the difference this time around is that i was a willing participant in the game called, "Martine's Life". All 4 of us began work immediately. i can't lie to you. i resisted and resisted. fighting all of the demons from within and the new me fighting to get out! Guess who WON? In january '04 I went on tour singing in a show for 3wks. My whole I used my work in deline of my problem with weight. Always blaming outside things (work, school and helping others) for not having time to work on myself. Well GOD SAID "NO MORE." that was the last tour I was on because work which had always been plenitful on the road had now dried up. Forcing me to stay in NY being stable in one place long enough to look at myself. no one needed my help anymore and school was done! I was left with me God and this plan I had put in motion the year before. I began to dig and dig and dig. Now I had found a way to throw myself in working clerical work around town, finding reasons to miss appointment with my therapist and nutritionist. Well guess who had a heartattack in March '04 and hasn't worked since May '04? U betcha! God had intervened again! What a wake up call for a soon to be 34yrs old no choldren or husband or nothing. By the time summer '04 rolled around, i was attending my appointments regularly, enrolled in anger management and self defense courses, attended my OA (overeaters annonymous) support group meetings and a life skills class through churcha few times a month. Happy to say that I have completed all of my courses and received certificated for them all. I have gotten the positive feedback for the efforts I have thus far put in myself. I am in happy place. I am glad I found this site the further enhance the support I need to get me through to the next level of my journey! I have done all of the required testing needed by my insurance company and surgeon's office ie. pych. eval/sleep disorder(pix enclosed)/1yrs of nutrition and therapy/ECO test/surgery support group/positive life changes. With my consultation only ONE WEEK AWAY, I will be thrilled to receive a DATE for MY surgery day. WHO KNEW putting a little effort into your own life where it counts would get such positive results? I am so glad God helped me awaken for my long term FOOD COMA. Again, thank you all for being there for me. I now know how selfish I have been not understanding that being a helpless by stander wasn't an easy job either for loved ones. Glad they never gave up on me. Grateful for all of my new buddies on this site as well. SHARING is truly CARING!!!!!!! more to come after consult! i love you all.
