That's right, stop comparing yourself to me .. or to others that have lost their weight and kept it off . I get so tired of people asking me .. How do you do it ? DO you eat ... are you bulimic , are you anorexic ... the answer is my friend ... When I had this surgery I did it for life . I knew that my food habits would need to change . My eating habits , my thinking habits , my entire way of life was going to change . The sad thing is some doctors perform the surgery ,but do not explain that this IS FOR LIFE . I will be 7 years this coming May ... and I still look at each thing I put in my mouth .. I exercise ... I drink my water . Why .. because I signed up for it . And if your surgeon did not tell you this is for life .. He did you a disservice .

I challenge you to spend one day with me . Eat the way I do .. spend the calories I do exercising .. Do I eat things I should not ... yes I am only human . But I know that I will have to add more exercise to burn those extra calories .
Our bodies are all different .  And if you lost 100 pounds and are healthy .. Thank the Good Lord you are still not at your beginning weight. Be thankful that your surgery is working . Do not compare . Be happy with where you are .. and if you are struggling with weight loss .. Go back to your surgeon and get back on track . Just know it is for life .. the pouch is only a tool .. Your mind is the back bone of this entire package.     I do mentoring ... and the biggest thing I hear is .. " my doctor never told me that .. or he never told me I had to eat this way .. " I feel like I have to undo everything these money hungry surgeons who have crappy aftercare. Do your homework . Find out what your aftercare will be with your surgeon . Ask him questions about your future .. if he cannot answer you .. Run out the door and find a surgeon that will be with you for life .. One that will help you 7 years down the road .. but stop the comparison ...
Just do it .. Just go back to what you know and live the life .. and most of all ..
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF ... YOU ARE YOUR BIGGEST CHEERLEADER .

I post this because I love you ,
