welcome to the board head hunger is harder than real hunger i have been seeing a counselor for those issues and it really helps me continue on the correct path of food for fuel only not for pleasure and security stay focused on why you had the surgery to start with we all have some sort of addiction to food and being lazy (not exercising ) stay positive and reach out to people who want to help with your success cheers !!!!

THE head game is so important on this journey it took me a long time to see the differences i am a large framed man at 6ft 2 not as big as i thought however this surgery has changed me for the better i am no longer the big guy i thought of my self as now i am just me as popeye said i am what i am

just an update photos from 48 inch pants 32 inch

looks like my arm are starting to get some definition again lol

i got no butt at all

ok so here is it in 32 inch pants for the first time since 5th or 6th grade ?

hell yes give me a few at work right now

i can add to that for sure i put on a pair of 32in waist last night and they fit thought the 34s were getting to big lol
