Strikes A Chord!!!

Just finished reading The Cinderella Pact and WOW, this one really hit home for me. This is probably more personal than I'd normally choose to be on my blog, but the book inspired me to share. I can totally relate to the characters and their weight issues, as I've dealt off and on with it for most of my life, especially after having my son and being diagnosed with pcos and other things. Like them, I get the being overlooked because of extra pounds, the marital issues and hanging on for the wrong reasons, the whole but you have such a pretty face *rolling eyes*, and even the different methods in which they choose to lose the weight. I too have tried it all and it's not the easy quick fix some people think it is. Many things can compound and make it nearly impossible for some people. For me, one of the gastric bypass options will probably be for me. I started down the road as of last year and began dragging my feet for various reasons. I hope to proceed further when Cody goes back to school this fall. It is a difficult and personal choice that isn't always well received by some people, but one I must make for myself. We all want that happily ever after and not just as far as a wedding goes, but to feel good and be healthy, both mentally and physically. This book, even though it's just a great fiction story, has alot of truth and helps a person look ahead to their version of happily ever after. This is a MUST read!!!
