I'm afraid to go to Convention!

Wanda, Can you feel the love? Everyone is behind you and sending you positive energy. You will keep control over food. Food is your nourishment not your life. You know this and you live this daily. Being away from home is no excuse to backslide. Drink your water and eat salads when offered and lean proteins. YOU can do it! Valorie

Wanda, First I've gotta say...You are looking fabulous!!! Good luck to you on your trip. Having just come from two months of access to endless bagels and cream cheese (major weakness for me) and tons of fried food and carbs in the cafeteria I totally comprehend how hard it can be to make good choices. I managed but it was hard and I certainly wasn't good everyday...those darned bagels just called to me constantly. But I did still manage to loose weight. Honestly I think it was all the walking I did. Anyway, don't kick yourself too hard if you indulge a little, even letting yourself do that is sometimes a good thing, just don't do it every meal. You'll do great. You've done so well and it's not just because you had surgery, there is a lot of self control still involved here. You're doing great!! Just take advantage of all those walking trails. And have a great time. It sounds like a beautiful place. Corinna Q
