Is Al Roker gaining weight? If he is, I sure can relate!!

Is it my imagination, or does it look like Al Roker is gaining some weight back?<BR><BR>I certainly can understand how that can happen because I had WLS two years ago and am definitely struggling with keeping it off. It sure is NOT as easy as it used to be!! Beware newbie's, your stomach WILL get larger naturally and if you don't get into the habit now of exercising and eating right you will be right back in the same boat that brought you to WLS! I've gained about 10lbs in the last 6 months and am SO afraid that if I don't "nip it in the bud" now it will get out of control. I bought Dr. Phil's book and am going to join Weight Watchers. Have also started exercising more. My biggest fear for myself is going back to that "dieting" mentality and the yo-yoing I remember all too well that took me to 300lbs. I am trying so hard NOT have that attitude this time..you know, the feeling of deprivation that comes with "dieting" and then the consequential "going off it" and then the loading up on all the things that were "off limits". Instead I'm trying to make healthy food choices while incorporating cravings and "junk" within reason. Yes, yes, I know...I should have been doing that all along this past two years but I was SO naive! The surgery itself made losing weight so easy, at least for me! No complications, no off limit foods and a built it "stopper", so to speak. But again, that has all changed and I can now eat a completely "normal" amount of food. (Normal to me means the amount a person at their correct weight SHOULD eat, not the amount I ate at 300lbs!) Combine that with bad choices and it equals weight gain!! **sniff, sniff**
