You can do this!

I, like many of you, have not been perfect in my post-op life. I love slider foods! I hate excercise! I check the scale too often, get frustrated, and then don't check it nearly enough! I have tried to put on clothes only to find they don't fit like they used to! And when I find that I am failing I feel like I can't find someone who understands. We made a choice to change our lives and sometimes we forget it is a complete lifestyle change! It is hard to change your whole life! Sometimes we start going back to "normal", eating the carbs and leaving the protein, treating ourselves to cheat days. We forget that there is a new normal. The new normal is hard and it can be scary! But I am here to tell you that you can do it! You stuck to the program to get the surgery because you knew you had to do it for your health, for your well-being, for your life. This is the same. Right now you are only a few pounds away! Don't be defeated now! If you start now you are that much closer to your goal than if you don't change course! I believe you can do it. You don't have to give up! We all slip up. We all gain. What is most important, though, is that we can all fix our mistakes. Be honest with yourself, what can you change? Why are you sabotaging? Are you willing to change in order to feel better? It is hard to start, but once you do you will feel so much better. You will find more energy than you have now. It will get easier! You can stick to it and be successful! There are people who understand you! I am sorry that you are struggling, but I KNOW that you can overcome it! Yes, you CAN!
