What are you doing/eating today ( Thursday)

I hear what you're saying, but at over 5 years post-op isn't what you're doing just "living life"? Non-surgery people of generally "normal" weight do the same things - eat well, have a treat or over-indulge occasionally, get back on the straight and narrow - rinse, repeat. That is life and you are living it WELL.

Good morning Barb and all. Enjoy your golf today. Congrats on the loss. 20 lbs is amazing. I am still working on mine and yes I too self sabotage. I probably would be fine at this weight. I just do not want t to get higher so keep reminding myself I need to lose. Not sure if that makes sense but as the deep dark winter approaches I need something to stop me gaining.
