Is everyone out there SOOOOO successful that they no longer need the support of this board?  (If so, WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WRONG???)

Anyway, just to get you all thinking, I thought I'd share one of my favorite quotes ~


"To get something you've never had, you have to DO something you've never done."

Chew on THAT for a spell, and REPORT BACK
!

   NO, many leave the board because they have given up, so I will take your question as being rhetorical. Thanks for the quote, we all need to be mindful of the direction we are heading.

Yessir, it was a GORGEOUS morning to be out on the patio!  In fact, I was there until after 1pm!

 I shoulda moved to the other side of the table for a bit...I got a bit sunburned on one side of my face.

Thanks for the quote.  I spend most of my time on the pregnancy board since hubby and I are trying to have another child.  Our son is 61/2 and we finally decided to try to give him a sibling.

I'll try to rememer to check in on this board more often now that I have had a reminder.

Thanks Darla.

No, I think most just get better settled in a routine and get busy.

I still lurk and check in to see how everyone is doing.

I can't argue life getting busy, especially in the summertime!  But in my 4+ years on this board, I just can't get over how slow it has become.  'Back in the day', we'd have more than two pages of NEW posts per day! 

Oh well, as long as it doesn't come to a screeching halt ~

As for the quote I posted, and what it means to me?  It's just very difficult to break old habits - especially when they creep back in once we're a ways out from WLS.  I have to constantly remind myself that food is fuel, not recreation.  I don't need quantity, but quality.  And I will allow myself to have snacks, even things I know I shouldn't have - but if I want to maintain or even lose more weight (WHICH I DO!), I have to break the habits that prevent me from succeeding.

Life got busy for me and haven't been on as much.  I have to get up at 3:30am for my job and by the time I get home, I don't want to do anything!  I can say I am doing great with no complaints...well no complaints about WLS.  LOL

I still need to get on when I get a chance. I am only 16 weeks out with my new tool and just when I think I have it figured out, it reminds me who's the boss! I really could never have gotten to this point without the vast knowledge and support of all of you!
