@OutsideMatchInside I won't lie. I did fall off the wagon for about 5 weeks and quickly regained 16 pounds. So after Thanksgiving, I recommitted myself and have lost 17 since then. I really see how it's just a tool and the first 6-9 months are a jumpstart to keep you motivated. I'm never going back to 400+ pounds. I've invested too much.

@WLSResources/ClothingExch Thank you for the encouragement. I have a tendency to be really hard on myself. I'm kind of a perfectionist. I hate to disappoint anyone. Thankfully, he was proud.

Hey, Her, fie on the surgeon. Let's hear you say that you're proud and full of yourself. I know all about not measuring up to my standards for myself. Shall we both take a vow to cut it out? It's a new year and new day.

Yeah it really just is a tool. You can eat around it so easy. The beginning just gives you a jump state and hopefully helps you learn good habits. Congrats on losing after a relapse and not letting the relapse take over.
