Promise to Myself

I promised to take care of myself for the rest of my life. Quitting the cigarettes was the first step. WLS was the second step. Exercising and eating right were the 3rd and 4th steps. I am within 30 pounds of my goal and I am starting to look into excess skin removal. My problem is that I have been slipping with the eating. I have been snacking frequently and eating more than I should in a sitting. Overall, I think that I am doing OK staying away from the really bad foods. Just because I can eat more than a cup of food at once, doesn't mean that I should. Right now, TODAY, I promise myself for at least the next 3 months: I will eat 6-1 cup meals (high protein, vegetables, fruit occasionally) I will get some form of exercise everyday (even if it is yardwork) I will take my multivitamin everyday I will drink a gallon of water everyday. This is not too much to ask of myself. I am worthy of the time and effort to maintain this healthy body. I deserve to feel young, energetic, and beautiful....AND SO DO YOU!!! Be good to yourself, Dorothy

Dorothy, Sounds like a great plan. I know you can do it, you are so worth the effort and the results are fantastic when you stick to the plan. Mary
