New Houston Support Group starting soon!!!
I would love a support group for maintenance but not sure how often I could make one in North Houston since I live in Friendswood.
I was thinking about that this morning when replying on another post. You still have to diet and exercise to lose weight - no magic pills (or surgeries). The surgery makes it painful to make poor choices so it works great (at first). But it doesn't stay that way and long term the pain becomes less and less (for RNY'ers anyway and maybe for others) and that is what I think is so hard about maintenance. At some point you have to make up for the lack of physical restraints with determination and willpower.
