Dear Louise, It sounds like you are doing fine. Remember we have a tool but only we can change our minds about proper eating habits and right choices. May God bless you with wisdom and strength to reach your goal. My highest documented weight was 353 the day of surgery I weighed 317 and I now weigh 154. Every day, every meal has to be a wise choice. Planning and support meetings are a big key to my success. Hugs and blessings to you. Janice
