We are champions too!

I've enjoyed watching the Olympics. I will miss the daily inspiration of watching the culmination of years of dedication by the athletes. It has been so inspirational to see the dedication and commitment come to fruition in the athletes doing their thing in their sport.

From Michael Phelps to Shawn Johnson, their stories are amazing. There's also the flip side in the heart break of seeing athletes come so close but not quite make their goal for a medal.

What we see is the show, the performance. What it takes to get to that point we don't see. We don't see the sacrifices and challenges plowed through to get to their ultimate best.

As WLS patients, we do the same thing. It is the challenges of overcoming an emotional eating urge screaming in your head, passing up a trigger food, going through a difficult, painful situation with the abuse of food. I see so many similarities from the Olympians to WLS patients. I believe each one of us are champions in our WLS journey too.
