Hello everyone. Well, I've been slipping and as a result of my bad choices, I'm up 7 pounds. I know it's not much, but it feels like it is. I'm ashamed and aggravated at myself for eating things I know I shouldn't. It's not worth it! I told my husband it's food...and food shouldn't take precedents over what I know I should be doing. I've had great success with my surgery. I've lost a total of 115 before the 7 pound gain. I have some physical limitations due to a disability that makes exercising at times very difficult. But my sweet husband renewed our gym membership and he guided me through each exercise today and we ordered protein...lots of different kinds...and went to Walmart and bought a temporary tub of protein mix til the other comes in. He's doing it with me! That's a big help! I guess I'm just frustrated that I allowed myself to slip back into old habits that I know are not good for me. And the realization is that even though this surgery is one if the greatest tools out there, it's not the surgery that does the work...it's me and what I put into it. So, I needed to see that number on the scale, feel ashamed, and get discouraged in order to get up, dust myself off, and do what's right and what my body needs. I've come too far to go back to where I was...so tomorrows a new day and I'm going to put my best foot forward and lose this extra that I caused to happen. Guess I just needed to vent. Thanks to all that read this and listen. It's nice to have others understand what this journey is like.

You sliped up, it happens to the best of us. shake it off, forgive yourself and start new. Pull out your old pics (pre 115 weight loss) and put it right on the fridge. Keep that reminder there, going back is not a option. Keep a wallet size in your purse if you need that motivation away from home.

You have a sweet hubby, that support is priceless. Lean on him when your weak. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!

Hang in there! (HUGS)
