First off, I want to talk about my addiction with food. Let's face it, if we need to get weight loss surgery, we have an addiction and I personally don't think that a food addiction is any different from an addiction to drugs or alcohol. We abuse the substance and we are out of control. I am sorry I don't want to speak for other people, I am here blogging because I had to have the lap band surgery because I abused the substance and was out of control. *sigh* Finally that is off my chest. Not to be a downer in this blog, I just felt like someone had to say it. I don't think people who are not over weight see it as the same kind of addiction to alcohol and drugs, but I do and I always have. I have been really struggling lately with fighting the food "cravings" lol that is my sugar coated version of saying addiction. =) I just wanted you all to know because I need people out there to hold me accountable and ask me the tough questions, I think we all need that. I am really thankful for things like these blogs, they are so theraputic and get you in touch with so many wonderful people who are in your similar situation.
Ok on a lighter note (literally) lol I'm not sure this is like a common thing for every PHAT girl (and by PHAT I mean Pretty Hot And Thick) but do you all wash your clothes and then have to stretch them out and air dry them so that they still fit??? Well holy moly I have been doing that for years and I just wanted to share with all of you that I don't have to do that anymore! All my clothes get washed and dryed and it's awesome!!!! Also, I bought 3 pairs of pants last year that were "my size" at the time but somehow they didn't fit. Well I found them just the other day and put them on and not only do they fit, but they are a little loose! How flippin' cool!? Ooooo and I get my next fill this Wednesday!
Thanks for reading, can't wait to hear from you all!

Hey Lady,
You are so right about food being an addiction. No question about it. I just blogged about this yesterday....
So cool the pants are loose!
Awww, you are just doing brilliantly!! Seriously. And thanks for being honest. You're such a sweetie. Nice that the clothes are getting loose.
YOu are doing awesome! And when clothes are too big to be flattering, it is a superb feeling!!! Keep it up lady!
...but don't be impatient with yourself. Once you've said your home truths, put them away and be kind to yourself, just KNOW that it will work eventually, and so what if it takes 2 years? Of course you'd like it to be all done and dusted in 6 months, but it's very likely to take much longer than that. Hopefully this will give you the time to EVOLVE into and like the new you, as opposed to angrily/impatiently discarding the old you.
Just keep blogging!
Caroline
