My first blog!

Random Thoughts!!
What a time for me to write my first blog! I have a myspace page but I don't feel as comfortable putting myself out there as I do here, because here I know people will understand what I'm going through as they have been through it tooo.
I had surgery on Sept 6, 2006, and my recovery has been swift. Dr. Lindsay and staff did such an amazing job, that I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon.
I always knew I was a comfort or emotional eater but it never really hit me hard until after I had surgery. My mom was at the house one day and she was eating subway, and oh my gawd subway was one of my favorite places to eat before surgery. I wanted a bite of her sub soooo damn bad, though I knew I wasn't hungry and I knew I couldn't eat it anyway, but that was one of those lightbulb moments for me! It was right at that very moment that I realized, I was addicted to food. I didn't want it because I was hungry, I wanted it because it was there and because it would make me happy. But now realizing I don't need food to make me happy has made me feel more empowered.
Not long ago I was going through some emotional relationship issues and I'm one who would have gone to fridge and grabbed the first fattening thing I could find to eat and ate it until my lil heart was content instead of facing my issues or problems. But this time I took the bull by the horns and I faced my insecurity issue and handled business like I should have been doing from day one instead of covering up things or burying it with food! That is no way to live your life and I'm sooooo greatful that now I can see that, and see a brighter future and better days ahead!!
