We have to remember this is not just a one year to year or 10 year diet management plan it is a lifetime change. Can you imagine after losing the weight and afterwards thinking it's okay to eat a piece of bread here a couple of fries there or thinking because we have a small stomach that we can eat anything regaining wait that we've worked so diligently to lose. I thought yesterday that I could peel a chicken nugget and chew it until it was practically liquid I was sick all the way home it hurt it just laid there it wouldn't move. That's self torture so together we can do this and change and reset our brains. Don't get discouraged B positive and do this for you nobody else but you because if you take care of you and love you then you can help other people and help them to take care of themselves. Lots of love take care

What made it so difficult? Was it your energy level? I remember going back to do cardio 2 weeks after surgery and having to do a little less or a little slower. And it was six weeks before I could lift weights again.
