I just keep picking myself up and moving forward

While I have not fallen into an easy groove yet, I am able to say I never give up. Many days are tough, some days are a food disaster, but I refuse to give in. Never will I surender and go back to what I was before surgery. A few pounds is nothing. 70 pounds would be my personal failure. Thank you for your love and support.

Ellen

Love your fighting spirit Ellen!

Ypu can not fail with an attitude like that!

Thank you Maria! It was a great day food wise. I feel proud of myself. Only a few more hours til bed.....:-)

Keep pushing forward. Each step is what counts always keep a positive attitude about things. I wanted to give up but I didn't I continue to push forward. I totally understand how your feeling.  Good luck and remember a loss is a loss and if you gain a little you can always get back to that first number.  Never let the scale control you.

Jennifer,

I try not to get on the scale because when I do it becomes an obsession. Thanks for your comments!

One day at a time.  You can do this.  Make that willpower muscle really strong!!!

Yes, yes, yes! I have to do it, there is no other choice. Thanks Price!

Ellen, take it one day at a time.  Sometimes you need to do one hour at a time.  Do you knit or crochet or enjoy a hobby that takes both hands? 

Grazing was a problem for me so I set times for snacks and that really helped.  Cookies are my red light food.  DH loves them too but I have him put the out of sight. 

Don't get discouraged.  Keep positive.

Like someone else said just take it hour by hour if you need to. That's what I had to do. Sometimes it was minute by minute!!!  I'm not kidding!!! You can do it
