Support

I'm still on the subject of support and I have two things to talk about.

First, I went to the weekly group led by Dr. Ashmore that I talked about earlier.  All I can say, well not all, but WOW!  I think I'm really going to like this group and I also think I'm going to learn a lot in dealing with the "head issues" that are the majority of my battle in being successful in losing my weight but more importantly, in maintaining it.  I highly recommend something similar to anyone who has that option.

Second, on the VST boards, I've connected with others in my area. We've decided to meet for lunch the first Saturday of every month. Today, there were 5 of us. It was really nice to meet them and hear their stories but more importantly, we all understand each other in ways that people who haven't had surgery don't. It's just another form of support and I really don't think a person can have too much of it. I really look forward to getting to know those women better and meeting others who are able to join us in the future. Thanks Toni, Amanda, Jacqi and Susie for a wonderful time today!  I can't wait to hang out with you girls again.

I hope everyone is rockin' their sleeve and lovin' life like me!
