Hi Melissa,

I know what you mean about last minute jitters. I "know" what I am getting into, but how can I really KNOW how I will feel once it is done? I too eat for emotional reasons, and can acknowledge that fact even while I am doing it....go figure! I have never been able to figure out how a woman who is smart and successful in so many areas can be so dumb about this! The result is that I have battled my weight all my adult life. I was "holding my own" until about 10 years ago and have consistently gained 5-6 lb a year during this time, regardless of how many diets, programs, pillls, "systems", etc. I have used (or abused). I am just sick of it all. I have a great life....good job, wonderful kids, fabulous supportive husband, but my weight is really bringing me down and I just feel that I have do something drastic to make the kind of change that I want/need.
