"Feeling healthy and being healthy may be two different things"

mentally? physically? what is the norm for being healthy? Is it mind over matter or are we what we feel we are? I struggle thinking about this a lot. On one hand, I'm more healthier today physcially then I was a year ago...having gastric bypass and lose a lot of weight has decrease a lot of acks and pains from the stress of the weight. (mind you I'm not an exerise freak yet and probably not going to happen!) For the first time in my life I was able to lose the weight I wanted to and still feel full. That's the part of dieting that kills you...and then you don't loose that much...how I'm so glad I'm off that yo-yo dieting. Ok...it's not like I have free rein to eat anything I want either...I have limitations on the quanity so I go for quality when I'm choosing to eat. And I guess I'd have to admit that I was a binging person before and sometimes now...but the difference is there are consequences now! Then there's the second part of being healthy -- mentally...how can you define this while taking anti depressants and anti pyschotic drugs. My mind is there...it's just where it tends to wonder isn't very healthy. I can recognize that to a point but actually changing that process is a lot harder to do. Maybe that's why I blogg. I thinking I really don't care who all reads what my thoughts are going through...it's the process of change. As orginal as I think I am...I realize that I'm not unique. Everyone deals with similar problems and cope just fine. Cope -- hmm I like the saying "I've had it up to here" (with my hand rasied above my head)...Cope...can I just make it through another day!
