WLS Success-through Powerful Positive Attitudes
What is the difference between school and life?
The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson. ~ Tom Bodett
What lessons have you learned throughout you weight loss journey?
Things I have learned:
Protein, Protein, Protein
Hydration is just as important as getting in my protein
Taking 30 min to eat is vital and just as important as all of the above
Exercise - makes me feel better
Taking care of #1 should be at the top of my list but I'm still working on that one!!
Food is JUST food, it's not my friend, it's not my relative, and I have to remind myself to have a healthy relationship with it and use it solely to fuel my body.
Reach out for help when I need it!!! Very important, my WLS community is a wealth of information and support.
Support group is just as important 3years post op as it was 1 month post op and is necessary for my personal success.
Follow up appointments with my surgeon and my dietitian are vital in my success.
Educating my family and the community on obesity as a disease is very important to me.
This is a Lifelong Lifestyle change and is something I deal with on a daily basis.
I own my actions and I choose to make healthy choices....
Those are just the ones that came to mind... Please share yours!

Thanks Tracy, this is one I had thought I did not need anymore but since I have started going back to my monthly support meetings I am more mindful of my WLS healthy life decisions. Thanks for this reminder!!
