  1. It is a holiday weekend, so that's means we should be even more diligent with our choices! Have a great 3 day weekend everyone. :)

  2. Today I am sugar free 40 days! It will end on Saturday tho because we are having a special occasion. But I can only sample one treat 1" by 1". ;o) Then it's back on plan!

      That's great. Takes a lot of positive self talk to make 40 days. Good luck on your special occassion. you can do it! And we all know, that 1 minute of satisfaction isn't really worth it in the end!

      That is so awesome Irene - I am starting the weaning off sugar process and it is really challenging. One forgets how nice it is to not feel hungry all the time when the carbs and sugar are very low ;)

  10. I got to meet one of my WLS fam!! It was a great time, we just cut it up for an hour and didn't even feel like it. :)

      I'm right there with you - gave up sugar just before Christmas, and I'm dropping the regain and suddenly my goal weight seems reachable again. I feel so much better, I'm back to wearing my cute clothes again, and the treats in the break room are less tempting these days. It was hard to get here, but it's so worth it!

      Lil is diva Irene. Glad you posted that. It reminds me that those "little bites" of sweets does effect my cravings for carbs. I ate too many sweets for Easter. I actually got sick cause I had not eaten much sweets since the surgery. And yes those first few days of reducing carbs/sweets can be hell. But it does pass and the cravings go,away.

  13. Every flex and weight resistance we put against our muscles makes them stronger, and more ready for the next push. Just like with every opposing push against us makes our spirit durable, and more capable of handling the next lesson.

  14. Beauty is NOT only skin deep. Whoever said that got it all wrong. Beauty comes from the heart and soul and radiates from the inside out.

      I agree, I have taught my daughter to smile from her heart out and the world will see her beauty! Words to live by!! Fyi I think your beautiful MissDiva!!

      You are beautiful too Bella :) That's a great thing you are teaching your baby girl!

  15. The difference between action and reaction is making your own fate rather than letting fate take over you.

  16. Always celebrate your journey! Whether anyone else likes it or not. =) You're the Captain of your Vessel.

      Agreed. I even made a list of things to reward myself at every five pounds down or if any major Non Surgical Victory comes up. It gives me a lot to look forward to.

  17. I am currently working on a revision from VSG to Rny Gastric Bypass. The reason is because I have extreme GERD and is causing me a lot of misery and dangerous issues, and I'd like to avoid esophageal cancer at all costs. Please keep me in your prayers, thank you.
