I agree Maureen and I take comfort in knowing that more and more people is knocking this dirt of their shoulder.

Awesome awesome letter.  I've written similar letters to my "Compulsive Overeater".  Each time I tell it "NO" it becomes weaker and weaker.  It still can be a might force telling me to eat past the point of hunger, to eat and munch my way through the day to make work easier, and is good at convincing me I will feel so much anxiety, if I don't eat, I'll go crazy.  Well, I haven't gone crazy, but I've had to sit with uncomfortable emotions and learn how to have them without freaking out.

I am scheduled for surgery on May 27 so I am getting the tool to put this baby to bed too.  I too look forward to seeing the syringes, the insulin, and the pills go away.  What overeating helped me get through as a kid, just isn't needed anymore.  Bye Bye!!

Good luck to you!  Please keep us posted.

Yes, I'm stalking you. 



I think you need to pick a coffee shop in YOUR neck of the woods, pick a date, and get us all there to cheer you on!  Pre-op would be nice, but beggars can't be choosers...
