Does it irk anyone, when you see others who have had WLS and they are cheating? I know it isn't my business. But...these are the same individuals who have asked me for help, in either diet or exercise. So, yeah, it kinda does irk me.

Am I jealous that they are snacking on something yummy and delicious? I don't know.

I just know, I'm trying my darnedest to stay focused, to move to the 10 lbs under, to hopefully reach my goal. I know when I've cheated and it always sets me back. Which is why I'm trying not too.

I do not want to be one of those who gains it all back. I have a few friends who seem to already given up. I do not want to be one of them.

Even if I do not loose another pound, I do not want to gain it all back. I'm healthier now. I'm able to function without being out of breath.

So, am I the only one who gets angry when I see this.? I don't want to go back to being shy, scared, and not outgoing. I like who I've become.

It does irk me. But I don't let it bother me. The ones that 3 weeks post op want to eat everything they had before and of course when it fails they blame everyone or everything but themselves. That's the part that irks me. I don't think it's really judging if they put it out there that their wls failed but oh wait they ate a gallon of ice cream and half of that pie just to see if they could.

But I just stop reading those and stick to the success and plastic surgery stories cause that's what I want during this ride. I love waking up and weighing in each morning, and even at only 26 pounds down the joys of shopping! That beats some desire for sugar or sweets that I used to have. Most of us went through too much to even get the surgery, why even want to waste these amazing tools?

Yeah I hate reading the posts regarding cheating. I need more inspiration and motivation. Not if I eat this, or if I eat that. That is literally asking for failure.

And I'm not meaning it to be judgmental, I meaning it because I went through so many hoops to have my surgery, recovery from surgery, loosing weight, and I don't want to go back to be heavy and medicated from obesity.

Stay strong and stay focused.
