Good Morning

Good morning, I'm up early to get ready to go to school. I have to get my exercise in and fix my food for today. Today is STEAK DAY! I'm doing Takeoff one more time before adding back in some foods. I drink this special juice and I can have all the meat and green vegetables I want for 2 days. I keep putting off adding some food back in. I know it will just be healthy food, but there is part of me that don't want to see the scale stop going down. I am wearing a comfortable size 6 and even some 4's right now. I don't want to be smaller, but it is a mind thing. I have a consultation with a plastic surgeon the 16th. And I know that if I have surgery, it would cause me to loose 10 - 15 more pounds. I'm just rambling. Lynette

I'm up early too. I didn't mean to get up this early today.........it's the only day I get to sleep late.........and I woke up early! I'm trying to talk myself into going to do my Wal-Mart walk! Have a great day! Kandy

Lynette, I know how frightened you are of doing maintenance. I think we all get into a rather regular regime and altering that is scary to those of us who have issues with food. How about you look at it like this?? You don't have issues with food anymore!!!!! You have conquered the demon where it counts the most. You have taken control and you have decided in your heart of hearts that you will never again be obese. Your whole life has changed to the point that you will never feel that food is controlling you. I have quite a ways to go before I contemplate a maintenance program and I do have to say getting back to work today after vacation was pleasant because I get to go back to my regular routine. Your body is going to find a place where it is happy. Eating "regular" food isn't going to change that. You are in control now, not what you eat. I hope that helped!!! Donna
