Guest guest Posted October 6, 2001 Report Share Posted October 6, 2001 Hi all. I agree with the basic premises of what everyone has been saying except for one thing. I married and divorced very young and very quickly. Ended up as a single mother from my son's birth 28 years ago. I put on more and more weight over the years until I reached 310 pounds. I have found that I've been clinically depressed for most of my life and am under treatment - tking 3 different medications probably for the rest of my life. I've not dated in all that time. I'm sure that goes back to the old saying about if you can't love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to love you. But for whatever reason, I ached for years and years that there would be someone to " dig through the fat and find the real me " . Well, you know what? Even I couldn't find the real me! I prayed for years that someone could learn to love me. It finally happened! I love myself! Enough to go through this surgery. Enough to lose 180 pounds. And most important, enough to be happy with myself. If someone ever comes into my life I will try to deal with it as it happens, but for now, I'm very content with things the way they are. The things I've done are for me, not anyone else. Sandy D in MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
