The future depends on what we do in the present.....Mahatma Gandhi OK, the past is behind us...our future DOES not include WLS...we have been there, done that! However our future most definintely depends on what we do in the present. I just did a not so good thing...I had a peanut butter Reese's tiny easter egg ball - while I was typing this post...go figure? My future with that choice made in the present is going to result in disaster if I continue along that course...and we don't need that to happen. We do not want to go backwards, we do not want to fall back into bad habits, we do not want to loose the great health benefits we have achieved from our decision to have this surgery and the good results that came with it. So GET ahold of yourselves...me included. We are just a few short days away from March 1st - 2 years ago we all began this journey - and TOGETHER I might add! If you have been slipping...slip a little Thursday and Friday, but make SATURDAY, March 1, 2008 a start over again day - or today if you wish. Make GOOD choices ...make a deal with the that you will succeed over him! Get mad and continue on with this journey...!!!! Let's get all those vitamins in, let's eat protein first, let's drink plenty of water, and by golly - spring is coming - so get outside and WALK!!! Hugs to you all, Barbara

I guess I am the only one who ate today...lol Jannine

well if i was honest and posted what was really going on in my life then I'd get the oh I'm so sorry...and I hate pitty parties, so I'll lie and say all is great! it was 60 yesterday and today it is 20 with snow....who couldn't love weather like that? I bought another pair of shoes today, my 4th pair this week and it's only Tuesday. Yes not only do I have an eatting addiction, I am a shopaholoic as well. miss you guys! Mimi

I am still having problems with drinking just plain water. I try hard each day but for some reason I just do not drink enough. Oh I am so ready for winter to be over! I hate snow and ice (we keep getting more ice then snow). MJ

Barbara, I agree that it isn't always easy, but we must keep on doing the right thing most of the time. There is no simple solution other then doing the right thing every day. I'm all for Spring as well. The good news is the time change is right around the corner, March 9th. I always feel so much better when there is more light later in the day. Have a great day, Rick
