Healthy Behaviors Last a Lifetime

We often get caught up in cutting calories or what the scale says. Sometimes this is more important than anything else. Remember that we embarked on this journey for a lifelong change not a quick fix. This means that what is most important is finding those healthy behaviors that we can live with the rest of our lives that will lead to long term success with our weight loss surgery.

These behaviors include things like not drinking while eating, measuring our portions, eating protein first, taking small bites, chewing our food thoroughly, eliminating high calorie/high fat foods from our diets and increasing the level of physical activity in our lives as the weight comes off. These behaviors will have a lasting affect on our lives and will definitely affect the scale in the long term.

When we do these things, we are destined for success!

Some call it a lifestyle change.  Personally, I am on a diet for life. 

However you may describe it, you'd better know its forever.  Slack off and you're doomed to failure.
