Discouraged

 My weight loss has come by a fairly natural result of the reduction of my stomach.  Now after a year I can see that the hard part is ahead of me and I can not relax and forget my committment that I made to myself.  It isn't an easy road to follow and it takes constant thought and planning.  Denial is always my devil and I have to picture him sitting on my shoulder.  I did learn how to lose 35 lbs without surgery so I can surely follow that diet if I need to.  

I know how discouraged you may be but you have to concentrate hard on your exercise and protein.  Try to be positive and obey your original dietary rules.  You can do it.
