Just an encouragement

When I went in for my four year check up, I had gained 20 lbs. from my lowest (10 lbs. from my goal).  While my surgeon was still happy with my weight, I wasn't.  It is still below the 10% bounce back weight, but it was more than I am ready to accept. 

So, back to eating right (well, except for a couple of holiday treats ) and exercising.  Nothing extreme in either--just about 45 min. of exercise most days and cutting out the sweets and breads on most days.  And, I've already lost 10 of those extra pounds!  Now, yes, I know they are par****er weight, and the "easy" lbs. to lose, but it just confirms in my mind that I can get the other 10 off.  It might take a bit longer, but that's okay.  It means a lot for me to know that I have some control.  And that I don't have to be "perfect" to get the weight off.

Keep up the good work. You will lose the other 10.  Be encouraged you have come this far and you have the tools.

 Hi Sally,

It's great to nip this in the bud. You're already a success and will lose those unwanted pounds quickly. Good job!
