And how does that make you feel

Did the psych evaluation today.

Apparently I'm not crazy. In fact, quite opposite. I seem to be a mentally healthy individual.

Sucka.


But no, seriously, she was a nice lady. She was kind enough to squeeze mom and me in with just a few days notice, and was also cool enough to call me to let me know she was having car issues and would be late. Most docs would have just let us sit in the waiting room.

She showed us a before/after picture of herself with the surgery, and I gotta say it's impressive.

But yeah, I think she was pleased with my take on the whole thing. The surgery is a tool, not a get out of jail free card.

However, there was one thing she said that has stuck with me.
As I change and lose weight, my relationships with people will change too. Some people will be become jealous and lash out, others will be more accepting and willing to include you in things, and you'll never really feel like you fit in with either the "fat" or "skinny" category.

The idea of not being part of the "Fat Chick Club" is hard for me to digest.

Note to self: Invest in tums.

  1. The point isn't to be in any category. The point is to be healthy. Focus on that and the people that ought to be a part of your life will be.
