Dear Diary

Más información sobre el libro

Writing this book was a very essential part of my recovery. Putting my own experiences down on paper gave me a chance to not only relive the experience, manage the fear, and face the uncertainties but to understand my motivation for doing it. While sitting on the sofa in enormous pain, writing this book was the emotional lifeline I needed. It was a wonderfully therapeutic outlet.Also, where else could I have expressed the joy of going from size 22 and down 3 dress sizes in two months? Since no one knew I had the surgery, this book was the one place where I could shout.This book was also written with others in mind. Those who are deciding which way to turn. Those who felt as I did and secretly dreamed of undergoing the procedure because they were just as unhappy with certain aspects of their bodies as I was. Those who are squirreling away money in the hopes that one day they might also take the next step. I hope my words will comfort and help someone else who's alone with their thoughts and pain as I had been, who will receive that much needed mental hug, and who will know that someone else had undergone what they are considering and are now enduring. At those times, when I was most vulnerable, I kept telling myself that there would be people reading my words and saying to themselves, "This is normal. Kathyne went through this too, so I won't worry."Am I am glad I did it? Read on.
