Re: Re: Social issues and weight loss

[Guest guest]

My Cousin (WLS 2 year ago) warned me. " things will change in your life - You

will want to change cause you are so excited in your body change. "

I think I am hiding from alot of things. Last night friends took me out for

my birthday (still celebrating). I didn't want to dance (a shock to them all).

I just didn't feel good about my body (ate too much). I KNOW this was weight

related...

When I was an undergrad I hung out at a local bar 3-4 nights a week

with a couple of friends, got very little sleep, and still managed to

get through school and work. I weighed a lot less, but was also a lot

younger. I don't know how I did it.

Then I went to grad school and packed on the pounds. Now, I tell

myself that I am too busy to do much and I stay at work until almost 7

pm every day. Then I go home, eat, watch TV, and go to bed. I wonder

if this " behavior " is weight related and if I will change as the

weight comes off? It's hard to know since I've been that way for so

long but reading your post gives me hope that my outlook will change.

It takes a while for our brains to catch up with our body. The changes we make

are more like the things we had help up inside ourselves for so long out of

fear. I slowly letting them out one by one and it does seem to change our

character. Our confidence does and says soooooo much... it's amazing.
