I would say I do get more support here, I just wish I could meet everyone!

I think half the people in my support group are nuts. One lady is so proud that she has basically starved herself down to bones only, says she hasn't sat down to dinner with her family for years. Another cries anytime she sees a food commercial or realizes she can't eat everything on her plate. One lady lost 200 pounds and hasn't bought any new clothing. Another guy said he hasn't had surgery, but eats the same amount as his wife who had surgery to support her. Can you imagine eating like us with a regular stomach?
I have to say if it ends up being like this I would never go to another one
