What's New in Jerse?
Wow, 4 years out and maintaining! That is a dream! I know so many that gain a lot of weight back after the 2 year mark - I am there now and recognizing some pitfalls and cravings that just weren't there the first year or so.....The surgery is a great tool, but not a "cure" I'm finding out. However - I'd rather have the tool! LOL! I also have a "baby boy", but he's home for 2 more years before going off to college.
I am getting forgetful some days in the vitamin department - if there's one thing I'm falling down on it's remembering to take all of the supplements at the right times.
Oh well - nobody's perfect, right?

One of my favorite sayings is "Strive for progress, not perfection."
Its important to keep up your supplements. If you find yourself struggling with that, resolve to do something about it, like finding a pill minder or setting your phone to signal you to take them.
I know a lot of people do regain. Its heartbreaking. But the one thing that seems to be common in those that succeed is the awareness that reaching goal is not an "endpoint." This is a daily battle, and one must fight it forever. It helps to be mindful - of the pounds lost, of all the non-scale victories, of all the ways that life has improved, of the great accomplishments, and of the commitment it takes to prevent going back to a place where we were so unhappy and unhealthy. It takes focus.
Sure there are days when we don't do everything right 100 percent of the time. Its how we handle those detours that will determine how successful we continue to be.
Keep up the good work. Best of luck to you!
