She found a way out 3 years ago now, and she is my biggest supporter for the LAP-BAND®. She encourages me to go forward, at the same time
warns me about what lies ahead for me with regard to relationships, warns of having expectations that don't pan out and leave me fighting depression, etc., and is helping me decide on something to focus on so I don't replace the food with something just as harmful. I have a feeling I will be depending on her alot. |
Your daughter will be a valuable resource, and helping you will help her; it makes us feel happy when we can happy someone else feel better. :) I believe that you will have an interesting and pleasant journey with your daughter's company. :biggrin1:
