What

We know what living obese is like.

We know the lost opportunities of obesity.

We know the rush of gluttony ... of sugar racing thru the veins of finally feeling full.

We know fat prejudice.

We know the health challenges.

What we forget:

The courage it takes to make a change.

The power of self love to commit to body altering surgery

The commitment. To this new life...

We’ve been fat longer. We’ve eaten badly longer. We’ve eaten our emotions longer. We are naturally better at obesity then at being post surgery. It’s easy, comfortable even to fall back into familiar stinking thinking and food.

What are you doing for your new way of life that supports staying on track? How are you retraining your mind?

Be mindful of the favorite foods that helped to keep you fat. They will sing their siren song and woo you back if you do not change your thinking.

Is there a revision surgery in your future? Is food going to win....again?

I’m wishing everyone a safe and wonderful Christmas where the food gremlins don’t pull you back into their seductive arms. Be vigilant. Be courageous. Be full of self love and stay the course!
