Obesity Help Conference- Anaheim CA

[Krimsonbutterflies 661]

I went to my first Obesity Conference today (10/4/19). I was sponsored and was able to attend at no cost to myself (blessings), I only attended today and opted out of tomorrow. One of the sessions I attended addressed various attachment issues and styles, this correlated to our relationship with food and how we feel about ourselves. We started with a brief exercise to bring you present and a few cleansing breaths. My other favorite part was all of the goodies in my swag bag, I'm ready for surgery now (the free samples saved me some money). I have so many Protein samples, Vitamin samples and etc. Just a few of the vendors included, Bariatric Advantage, Premier, Unjury, Celebrate, fusion, BariMelts, LaBrada and etc. I also went to the free clothing exchange store, got a few items for after surgery and one really cute Michael Kors blouse for maybe one or two months post op. I meet some amazing people who have inspired me to keep going and believe that this wls is truly life altering if you allow it to be. My words for the remainder of the year are: inspired, rejuvenated, focused and grateful. I also shared how great my support group is on bariatric pal.

I wish we were all there. This is one of the best experiences pre surgery.

This is a great way to create a starter kit for the survival tools needed. This lifestyle is expensive and if you are able to find a conference in your town, please attend. I'm even thinking about writing a few companies to see if I can receive products to try, it works sometimes. The information was a other asset to really apply the mental componets into play.
