It's a hell of a process, isn't it, this weight loss and weight maintenance game?

Yes, I still have some of that tiresome old self-hating litany going on. I work at thanking my mind for sharing and trying to not give it too much space in my head, but that is easier said than done.

I think you have done marvelously!

I, too, love your humor and honesty- thanks!

Surgery can give you the mechanical change..but it does nothing for the head.  It sucks..but work your tool...!! You can make it happen!!

Bette that post was too cute for words.  Don't be so hard on yourself.  You look great.  As I sit here I am really hungry.  Thanks for the reminder about the use of the tool. Yes I am hungry but I have been eating carbs all day.

You have done well, my sister.  Focus on your accomplishments.  And as you say, you are trying.  I am inspired to try harder myself.
