If you can make some good habits in the early months it will help you as the years go on. It definitely gets harder with each year.

At 5 years I have good and bad days and try to have more good than bad. If I slip I just get back to basics and lose any weight I have gained. It is all about what you want the food or the health

I had the opportunity to go through the pathway to surgery 2 years ago but I knew I wasn't ready. I had to deal with my emotional eating so I found a therapist who specializes in emotional eating. A year later I was ready to start the journey to surgery. I am not cured but I am aware of what triggers me and how to deal with the emotions.

Your mind will impact your success!

I try to distract myself with something, like going for a walk or bike ride, reading, crocheting, watching Netflix.

I also incorporate healthy snacks in my diet, like beef jerky, or Babybel cheese, once in awhile I'll splurge and buy some protein chips (super expensive but I like them****asionally I'll chew gum. Lately I've been making sugar free popsicles, as I tried the sugar free Mr. Freezes and they gave me terrible stomach cramps. I just use crystal lite or sugar free koolaide drops in water, then pour them into my popsicle molds. Yummy, and a good way to get in some extra fluids.
