Support Group WHAT?

Support Group WHAT?

  Today has been a very productive day so far. I slept good last night, woke up around 7am, did some house stuff, then got ready to head out to run some errands. Went to one of my favorite stores, Ross, and then headed to Walmart to get some protein packed food. Today, I decided I was going to attempt to eat a kid’s chicken nugget from Chick-Fil-A. I ate it just fine, but I think the Ranch Sauce made me sick to my stomach. I then laid down for a little nappy, and woke up to get ready for the support group meeting.

I am still a little unsure about this meeting. I have never been fond of groups, and support groups are no different. Not to mention I have to speak tonight. I know I said that I would, but now that tonight is here, I still don’t know what to speak about. I am not fond about being near any sort of bariatric place for a prolonged time, people tend to size me up. One day I heard a heavier lady talking to a friend wondering what I would be doing there, after she asked me if I had, had the surgery yet. I tend to feel out of place because I am on the smaller side for an RNY. But, no matter how small, but yet large one is, it doesn’t matter. Everyone there has health issues, weight issues, and other emotion problems going on. I believe that together we should unite and not wonder why I had my surgery, or why so and so had hers.

So back to me needing to come up with something to speak about tonight. I was thinking about speaking of what brought me to have the surgery, but it’s different from most peoples. I know I just said everyone is different, but I would really like to speak about something that everyone in the room can relate to. I feel that if I could bring to the table something everyone in the room can relate to, I will have done my job, and done it well. So, I guess I am walking in there blind, and I will be feeling the water out before I speak.

My knees are killing me from my walk yesterday, but my hair looks great after I washed it this morning and did something with it!!! Today has been good so far.
