Overwhelming

[Guest guest]

I'm new to the group. Have you already had surgery?? Ive been sitting here

for some reason crying as I read these posts.. Not quite sure why until i

read your email just now.... I realized that for me it is overwhelming to

be able to talk to others about my weight and to be able to read that i am

not alone. Overwhelming yes but in a good way...a feeling of being somewhat

released to express how i feel about myself---my weight....to be ME...

Thanks!
