if only people would (just do it) and not over think it......its not a diet.

change what you eat..let the control the amount..exercise and last but not least....BELIEVE in yourself.....

sure our past (dieting) failures had us lose faith in ourselves.....but TRY

one more time......that is what i did.....

i tried one more time......i had the lap band to help me and give me some

balls to spur me on......

if i would have hemmed/hawed and why me and why this......i would not be where i am now....

YOU CAN

you COULD
if you

truly WANT

Back away from the Christmas cookies!!! Eat one, then stay away, they are addictive and dangerous! Have a drink of something low calorie instead.

Thanks CG, you always post the greatest uplifting advice!!Karen..aka..kll724

This is SUCH a great reminder, and BELEIVING in yourself is a huge part of being successful!!! I always see people say "you have to want it", and while that's true, you can 'want' it all you want, but you have to BELIEVE you actually can!!!

Such a great post! Just the motivation I need to get through the end-of-year craziness at work. Normally I would have Christmas goodies stacked on my desk and eat my way through the mayhem. Not this year :) This year I'm thinking of joining the new boxing club across the street from work...much better way of working out my stresses :)

Have a great day!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
