If You Want to Lose Weight But You Aren't -- Why?

Millions of us go on diets and have weight loss surgery each year, butsometimes (often?!) do not have the level of success we expect.  Why is this?  Honestly, this article I lifted from Huffington Post via author Margaret Paul, Ph.D is a tough read.  It makes me squirm a little, which probably means there's a bit too much truth in it and we should all go buy her books.

Great article!  I'm five weeks post-op and am so worried that I'm not "on the ball" with all the changes.  Well... I am not on the ball with the changes but what worries me is that I'm not changing my life and will be back here in a few years - that's my fear and my inner demons. 

My head knows I am making changes - maybe not as fast as others but I am making them.  I do want a new life - not just a downsized version of the old life that clearly wasn't working.

Articles like this are so helpful to me.  I get a lot of value out of reading about others struggles and then their success in the end.  Thanks for sharing!

 It's forever.
