Reflections from a WLS "Vet" - Long Message

Very nice post Donna, very important things to remember

Hey Lee,

I have to CONSTANTLY remind myself...CONSTANTLY!

DD

well dayum if that didn't make me drop my thin mint and sit up and so true. thank you gurl! 

But you did pick that Thin Mint up and eat it, right!?

See, I have to be realistic - Girl, shootz, you don't have to punish yourself - MODERATION IS GOOD!  HAVE A TREAT ER'NOW AND THEN!!!

no ma'am.  reading your thread made me realize i didn't want it to begin with.  mindless grazing.   saving my gluttony for fake _ _ _ cheezits. 

LOL @ gluttony! Girl...I just did NOT realize how much I overate...until 180 more  lbs. piled on my body...and I was given a HUGE ultimatum...Wow!

...nuff said...

 Congratulations on losing those 20 pounds and also on the epiphany.  It's amazing how something seemingly simple can have a profound effect on your life. 

For me, it was the realization that the best way to work my tool is to eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm not.  That's it. 
 

That's exactly IT! Or, the fact that we do not have to feel full to stop eating...eat the 'portion' of each food item and that's all...it is all about a mindset change.

My new pastor has us eating much healthier and it has definitely made a difference.
