Take my own advise

I just read a blog of someone who is a little down and discouraged because the weight is not coming off as quick as they had hoped. I posted the following message.

 

I was banded 2 months ago. I am currently down 28lbs in total. 13 of that was on the post op diet, which means 15 lbs in 2 months. Try to remember that the average weight loss is 1 to 2 lbs per week. You have lost over 3 lbs a week! Good job. Also try to think back to all the other diets you have been on, have any of them lasted a month and proven to loss 15 lbs of weight thats never coming back???? Its the never coming back part that I love. Ive lost weight on diets before, but its always come back again, and brought about 10lbs worth of friends.......... but this time its not going to be like that. Your doing awesome! Hang in there, its not an over night cure, its a life change. Anything thats going to change something as big as the rest of forever............. is going to take time.

I believe every word that I typed, but have a hard time living by it.
