My Psych Test
Took my first Psych test today!!!!! I felt so prepared and at ease! It had 45 multiple choice and 5 questions that had like 4-5 parts to them... so I guess you could say a 65 question test 
I got done with it 30 minutes!!!!!! I felt quite confident overall, hope I get a good grade!!!!! *cross your fingers* I'll find out tomorrow!!
ALSO... I talked to my teacher about eating disorders and whatnot... yeah I told her I had the surgery.
She said at this stage it would be imperative to seek professional help to deal with whatever little or big issues are starting to pop up. The surgery didn't fix our heads- we're still crazy lol. I asked her would a therapist be able to help pinpoint WHY we developed the eating disorder- over eating, etc. She said yes. I asked her because I haven't a clue why I ate. I just ate... I saw the Mickey D's pulled in a ordered 2 dbl cheeseburgers and a Large Diet Coke... no matter time or what. I asked her would he/she be able to just listen to me ramble on and on or complain? Because, frankly, I feel really bad when I have bad days and want to complain, but then others are having even worse days or had worse days ie abuse, repressed emotions, etc when for all I know I had a perfect upbringing. My parents bend over backward for my sister and I, I got to travel all over, I have a my rabbits, good grades, scholarships, camps, you name it, I've probably done it. Alot more than some people 20+ years older than me can say. So do you see why I feel bad when I complain about somehting "small"? I dunno, maybe I do need to find a shrink lol. I think I'll call my surgeon tomorrow....... probably a good idea.
If you understood any of the second paragraph, congrats lol... it was like my fingers were ALIVE! LOL!

Jaci,
I think some people just eat because they like food. I feel like that was my problem. Thank heavens losing weight and looking better takes priority after surgery. You spend so much time adding up oz. of liquid and grams of protein you don't have time left to eat! I don't think everybody got fat because they have major "issues". I guess I'm lucky because I have a licensed counselor in my office that I talk to all day long at work, so maybe that helps me!

You're teacher is right on. The WLS didn't change our phychy just our innerd's
If is very likely that people who had our surgery can develop eating disorders and I often worry when i see people eatting too little or not at all. It's just the other side of the same problem.
Therepy as I said in my last post to you can be a great tool to help us understand why we do what we do to ourselves. And to help rid oursleves of our "monkeys". So we can move on and live healthier lives.
I know one of the reasons I ate as a kid is I blamed myself for my parents divorce. I know now that it's stupid, but at six years old, you think you have all kinds of power. Well I ate myself silly and kept eating. It was the only way to comfort myself.
It took years as a young adult, at your age in fact, to work through these issues and finally get the monkeys off my back. The sense of freedom is incredible. I highly recommend it.
The trick however is to find the right therepist and that's not always easy.
Hugs,
