Two year anniversary on Saturday

Today I am 1 day shy of two years post-op. I wanted to say I still think this was the best thing I ever did for myself! While I certainly can eat a lot, I try and stay in control or counter my eating with exercise. I started running in January and am now running 4-6 miles, 5-6 days a week. I am hooked on running. I never thought I could be a runner. I also joined weigh****chers to help me remain accountable. I enjoy the support group talk at w/w, because the dilemma about choosing the right food is the same no matter which program you are on and you need to be on some kind of program! I did not tell them about the surgery though. I am so grateful for this tool. BUT remember it is not a panacea! I thought I would get to goal and never worry about what I ate again. WRONG! I think about it constantly. It is always on my mind because I do not want to gain the weight back. So if you think you will lose weight and relax, that won't happen. You still need to learn to have self control and that is the struggle. I love wearing size 6 and 8 clothing! I love feeling beautiful and confident! and I love being healthy! I love feeling in control! Be well all you who walk this journey and remember, what you put into it is what you will get out of it.

Happy Anniversary Sherri!!! This is a wonderful journey and it sounds as though you have a firm grip on the reality of this tool and yourself. Way to go!!!! Congrats and continued success to you. Christie
