When feeling blue or WHATEVER about your “slow” weight loss or a plateau, remember these wise words whispered by Confucius – “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” Be patient and celebrate your accomplishments so far! You didn’t put it on over night, it won’t come off over night (DARN IT!)… RNY 10/31/03 257/140 - GOAL!!! Good luck!

You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family.
