Oh, the other 'I' word. Actually a part of me is sort of looking forward to the day the pesky little scamp falls asleep and gives me some time to myself.
In all seriousness I agree that actually having it fall under a medical term can be very sobering. When I started I was 'Super obese', which is the next stage after 'morbidly obese'. Kinda weird that it'd be worse, 'super' is a far less ominous term than 'morbid'...
From what you've described it sounds like you're starting off well. Once you've determined what approach will be most comfortable it gets much easier/

Well this is definitely a good place for support. I find I don't post as frequently as I'd like but I often come here to read other people's stories and advice as good motivation. Good to have you here.
