Did you see the message from free there is a lot going on and for now sounds like she is stepping aside and wants us to be successful.

Ok I am  for whatever it takes to make this happen for all of us

I read a lot of our blogs they were beautiful and so many of them touched home sounding like me, junk food junkie not in support trying to carry the weight all alone, you name it it was me.

We can do this and it sounds like we have some strong members in the group.
Let me know if I can be doing more we are gonna make this happen.

This is how I feel when I am writing talking or whatever helping others I hear myself and that reinforces to me what I need to do. What I do is read my advantages several times a day. If your advantages are strong enough they will keep you going even when you don't want to. Your advantages are your foundation to your success. Think of it this way if you were building a home it's absolutely necessary to have the foundation first, without the foundation that home would not last. Well we work in the same way. We've all had or having some sort of  WLS. In the beginning that tool given to us at surgery, worked well for the 1st 6 months or more. After that we have to use our foundation or newly learned behaviors to keep us going on our chosen paths for the rest of our lives.

It's all about Choices Choose to be Healthy and Happy, or choose the alternative..

What is your Choice?

What are your thoughts???

Melva, I agree that when we help each other by supporting or encouraging it also helps us, we need each other to lean on, to pull each other up. That is what is so great about groups like this.

My choice is to see this program to the end and once the 6 weeks is up I will still continue to work on the days that need improving or tweaking. I choose to stay focused and re train my thinking, re program my WL journey.

I have finally accepted that the way I was trying to lose in the past did not work well for me BUT I am pretty sure that this Cognitive Therapy is the missing link in my foundation. I am in the process of rebooting my thinking so I can get to goal and be healthy.

1st time 01/31/2010 - 03/14/2010 lost 13 lbs

Sit Down, Slow Down, Enjoy Each Bite
Credit myself
Be accountable here daily
Exercise is not an option
Be aware of cravings and desires
Plan meals today for tomorrow
