Another Year -- Still Holding Strong

March 31st I will celebrate my fifth weight loss anniversary.  I weigh one pound less than last year which thrills me.  I love that I actually wear clothes out and not having to be a new (bigger) size each season.  I work at keeping my weight stable and will continue to do so for my health and overall happiness.

Gastric Bypass is not a long term quick-fix.  You lose the weight quickly however to maintain a healthy weight takes a life change that isn't called a "diet" or "exercise plan"; it is a lifestyle, a healthy lifestyle.

I'm not saying it is easy but it is well worth it.

Life is Good.

Way to go!!!  I love hearing stories of people maintaining for long terms.  I know this tool is working for me and plan for it to continue to do so.

Best wishes as your journey continues on. Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished.   Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago.   I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits!   Wherever you are in your journey  ... It's ALL good!!!
