re: Sorry for not responding

Sorry all for not replying to your responses to my previous post. I was away as there was a death in my family. I just got back home and read all of your replies. I'm still unhappy and have been eating bad things. I feel my clothes getting a bit tighter,just enough that I know I need to get back on track. I'm not sure where to begin again. I want to go back to maybe doing just protein and drinks like when I just got home from having surgery and the weight came off quickly. I told myself that I didn't want to gain any weight back, the way I'm going that may happen. I promise to return replies next time you respond. Thanks for listening. Lisa J. in Mass

Lisa, My sympathy on the death in your family. Regarding getting yourself back on track, I think a lot of us are struggling with this right now. We're well past the honeymoon period where it's easy to lose and our pouches are very small. Now we're battling the demons that have always haunted us - how easily those old, bad habits creep back in. I'm trying to be mindful on a day-to-day basis about what I eat and how much I eat. I keep healthy snacks around, plus I keep track of my daily food intake and how much I weigh every day. I know that without daily reminders I will slip back into my old ways and put back on some of those hard-lost pounds. So the only advice I can offer is to be mindful about what you're doing as it relates to eating, drinking and exercising. In the long terms, that's what will help us be successful and keep off the weight we've lost. Good luck to you on your continuing journey - Kellie
