To reflect to keep it real!
Well Well Well! I haven't posted here in ages! It was nice to read some posts from some familiar people as well as some i don't don't know.
I'm just over 3 years post op. My goal was 160, and i've been at 155 for 2 years now...holding strong. HOWEVER! I stay at this weight, not as healthy as i dreamed I would be. I don't eat as good as I should, and don't exercise as I wished I would. I do well, some of the time, but not consistently. I feel that eventually this inconsistency will lead me to return to some old habits and weight may creep back on.
Today i'm posting here to reflect and "keep it real". I feel as though I fool myself...ahhhh, i say, still 155...i don't know how but i will take it....ahhhhh, the size 8/10 still fits...i don't know how but i will take it!
To keep it real i don't want to wonder how i'm still where I want to be, i want to know what i do, what i eat, how i live keeps me where I want to be, and by doing that I think I could even reach other goals like toning up a bit, running a 5k, being at the point where i WANT to exercise, and be healthy and well in mind and body for many years to come!
Thanks to this forum for letting me get out some of these thoughts i've been trying to ignore...and letting me "keep it real!" I plan on continuing to post accountability and keeping it real posts to help me through this stage. I never want to forget where or who i was and want to always value doing the right things to become who I am now, and continue to reach goals!

Hi Kris,
So glad to have you back! I too am three years out, and also have come to grips with the reality of my situation. I too have been way to complacent with what I have done, but with me, I started creeping up ever so slowly until I was at a point that I was not happy with myself, of how I looked or felt. Through a lot of hard work with my doctor, I have again reached a place that is great, and I am continuing to go on the downward path to losing. It is hard to realize that the things you are doing are not exactly the right things. Reality is something that we must face each minute of each day. Great job realizing that things need to change, and I will look forward to going on this journey with you, as will many others on this board. Great to have you back!
