Hi!

Hello, I see you are just a few days out of surgery. You are brave to have this done so close to the holidays. Losing that much already will keep you motivated. Your doing great and keep up the great work. Happy New You! Soos

Thanks! it was really hard beacuse i had to sip my chicken broth while everyone else ate their christmas dinner. im kinda used to it now. when it bothers me i move to a diffrent room or ask them to eat somewhere else. sometimes it dosnt even bother me anymore. It was hard but its good practice for the future beacuse down the line people will be eating all kinds of foods that i love but that are horrible for the body and i will have to deal with it so i guess its better to start learning to resist and be strong now. Thanks again.

That takes a lot of courage to do what you need to do while others get to partake.  Your right it is good practice as you will be around many things that are not good for you. And if you should slip up don't beat yourself up over it. We are human and do mess up. I have very much but I am not going to let it control me. I am the one in the driver's seat. Keep up the good work. Have a great day. Cindy

Thanks Cindy. Your suggestions of if i do slip up not to beat my self up is a good thing to keep in mind. I am my own worst critic.

Yes that is the reality of it all!  You are doing great!! Keep up the good work.  Soon you won't care what anyone else is eating because your main focus will be on YOU...whats good for YOU and your health. HUGS  Jeanine

Thanks Jeanine!

Happy new year to you too and you are so right about it not getting easier the farther out you go. I am struggling now because I have slipped back into my old ways. I am in the process of taking control back. I think getting support helps a lot so I will be here more and post offering support and hopefully getting some. Have a great day. Cindy

Hey Soos, Good to see you again.  I hope to be back in full swing and working on my weight.  So keep in touch. Love, Deb in GA
