Re: CAN I EAT!! (and my current sad)

[Guest guest]

I CAN EAT IT All IN MODERATION!!!

Oh, me too, I hope! That sounds so wonderful!

If I even GET to the surgery. Right now I am sad because I have

lost weight on my own. Am I insane???? I had a 44 BMI and now it is

38.9. Shouldn't I be thrilled? But I am pre-op and now I do not

qualify. I guess I have to wait until the weight returns with

friends. I'm twisted up emotionally because I am also proud of losing

weight.(I have been here before, and before, and before as you all

understand.) I do not like how I have been conditioned to care about

weight obsessively. When I have told a few others on AMOS and other

lists about the weight loss I get quite a bit of attitude, so I was

reluctant to post. But I like this list! Usually the comments made

were meant to be helpful I guess, but they were along the lines that

my Dr. said, " See? You can do it the old fashioned way and surgery is

not an option for you, you should be happy. " and a few other comments

a little colder like, " Why are you even looking into this at your

size? " I wrote back in capital letters, " because I am morbidly obese

and my living is impaired! " Oh well, I just needed to vent. Thanks

for listening.
