Missy: I'm sure I don't need to ask, but I am going to anyway. As part of your treatment for obesity and surgical weight loss, do you have a counselor? It really isn't any of my business but many ladies I know who have lost huge amounts of weight opt out of the counseling thinking life will be perfect if they just lose weight. Most of these people are now heavier than they were when they had the surgery.
Your image of yourself and what you look like is a very difficult picture to change and it won't happen by magic. I care about your success. Thirty years from now I want to see a 71 year old woman with a healthy body image and an active life moving forward.
Please talk to someone who can help you change your brain's idea of who you are and how you look. I need you to succeed because that gives me hope.
