What I know For Sure

I know that having this band is simple, but harder than I thought.

I know that I will succeed in loosing the weight this time.

I know that I am not patient.

I know that I feel much better being 46 pounds lighter than I was.

I know that I cannot do this alone.

I know that food is my enemy.

I know that even if I fall off the wagon today, tomorrow is a new day.

What do you know for sure?

Kim

I know....

My daughter doesn't worry about me leaving this earth early because of morbid obesity.

My daughter is proud of me!

I will never be morbidly obese again.

I couldn't have done it without the band.

I feel 20 years younger since losing 100+ pounds.

I love being smaller than both of my sisters.

I have inspired people to be more active.

If they come up with the "magic pill" that allows me to eat whatever I want, I will take it because down deep I am still a food addict!

I will eventually reach my weight goal, but I am the size I want to be.

I know that I will never be thin, but average-sized is good for me.

I will get rid of this hanging skin on my abdomen some day.

That my Mom is in heaven saying "keep it up Honey, you will get there".

I actually like exercising, and love trikking!

That if I can do it, so can most of you!

Best wishes.

Sue
