Michelle,

YOU ARE NOT ALONE (((((hugs)))) You are brave for being able to admit to this...and you WILL conquer it! You have a GREAT attitiude!

I am having a hard time eating also. and being so bloated for so long with whatever it is I have--I'd be THRILLED to look normal and feel attractive again...so I can see myself where you are.

YOU CAN FIGHT THIS--AND WIN! And you will! I believe that you will--and I'm sure everyone else on this board does too (and your husband, and MOM).

You are an AMAZING person--and a wonderful mother/wife! You love everyone so much you want to do everything yourself! BUT--that's not your job. In order to truly take care of others--we must FIRST take care of ourselves! And you deserve this! Maybe you feel like you're a better person if you can do it all yourself (I know I've felt this way!)? We're better people if we can admit we CAN'T do it all ourselves--and it will be better for our families as well (it's a beautiful thing when children see mom and dad working as a team together)!

We love you Michelle! Feel better--and remember to TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF--that is the best gift you can GIVE!!!!

((((HUGE HUGS))))
