I began my issues w weight age 4 when my late grandma introed me to dq soft serve while complaining about my mom/grandads smoking.
It felt special.
Fast fwd to 1997 when I joined OA and started 13 yrs of yoyo abstinence that was extremely detrimental to my self esteem.
In 2011 I discovered intuitive mindful eating while a patient at Timberline Knolls in Chicago.
That and DBT saved my life.... but I relapsed yet again when my ex best friend didn't support my new plan of eating. I had to end our four year friendship and it hurt a lot.
My new best pal suggested weight loss surgery as she was going to have the sleeve. Her insurance backed out but I'm still on the consideration path. All I have left is the psych eval and 5 months of post wls food plan adherence for the insurance co to make its decision.
And here I am....
