1. Honesty with yourself. Get on the scale and weigh.
2. Accountability. Put your ticker up here. Share a bit more of our weight journey here.
3. Find and use your resources. I assume you were under a doctor's care earlier. Make an appointment with the doctor and keep it. Return to your support group. (My surgeon told me that the people who are most successful long-term with WLS are those who stay connected to their doctor's program / nutritionist / exercise person / support group.
4. Focus on the future. The past is over and, frankly, it does not matter at all. Today matters. Tomorrow matters. Everybody's in the same boat on that front.
5. Give yourself a big hug for caring about yourself. Self-love is the best gift we can give ourselves.
