Another Lesson Learned

Over the past few days, I have learned how important it is for me to stay calm and not stressed out. I really had hoped after surgery, I would change how I react to things, but the past few days have proven otherwise. I still jump to defend myself and beliefs and get too animated (the Italian and German mix is to blame on this) and worked up for my own good. I have learned that since having the lap band installed, I feel it if I get myself too upset or laugh too hard. I am scared that it will slip. I don't think it's that easy for it slip, but I really don't want to find out. I prefer no more surgeries, if I can help it. Clearly, everything in excess in my life just has to go. Plain and simple. Deep, deep breaths.
