The Thoughts That I Think I Thought

aaah.... ".... if I could get over the "Carb Lust", I'd have been at goal ages ago, but if I were perfect, I wouldn't have needed the damn surgery in the first place!" MAN! How true is THAT! Im right there with you! Its so darn hard! I keep thinking ... "well this here is why you had surgery what now?" welp ... now I just keep on keepin on one day at a time and never give up! I am doing well today so far... but i found myself getting a small roll. Its very tiny but still I thought to myself "when i had surgery I remember that I completley stopped craving bread of any kind" i wish I wasn't where I am now... craving carbs again. I'll eat half and throw the other half away. There I feel a bit better now. Hang in there we can do it! We'll get under that dreaded 200 pounds! Elizabeth M

Hi Elizabeth; Thanks for the encouragement. Sometimes I get so frustrated, I can't stand it. That's the foolish perfectionist in me one more time. I need to appreciate the progress that I have made instead of dwelling on the minor bumps in the road. I know that the 200 lb. mark is only a number and that 199 is really no different from 201, but it's a psycological hurdle I really want to clear. It's so important for us to continue picking one another up when we're down. We're all in this together and together we'll get where we are going!! CHEERS!! Mike
