I think that some of the advice in this post is relevant to our post-WLS lives when we sometimes have to deal with food police.

Chrissy, I see you're 4 pounds from goal... and I just wanted to say congratulations. I love seeing those tickers so close to the end, and like to acknowledge when I can.

YAY!
