Finally ready to really make the leap!

Hi everyone! I'm Melissa. I'm graduating nursing school in May and I'm an emotional eater-- stress is killer for me! I actually had a lap band placed in the Spring of 2010, but I fought it. Hard. And won. Or lost if you look at it from a weight loss standpoint. But, long story short, I'm ready now. I'm hopping back on the wagon and I'm NOT getting off until I'm healthy and happy. I don't think I believe I'm capable of being "thin," but I can definitely be a lot better off than I am now.

So... Any others working at weight loss with bariatric surgery in their past? I'd love the support.

    Hi Melissa! I've not had surgery but feel free to friend me. I've always been an emotional eater as well and I would always reach for the bad carbs during these times. I've been doing well and am really motivated. Good luck!

    I never thought I was capable of being thin. Starting to think I am after 2 years. Feel free to add me.
