Had my 1st weight gain:(

Feb 23, 2011

I had my first weight gain since surgery which was only 3 pounds but very discouraging to me. I din't even want to go to the dr. in fear he would be dissapointed in me.Well I faced my fears and confessed of all my wrong doings and they were all so very understanding and are helping me get back on track by having me chart my meals and exercise daily and bring them a copy when I return in March. It is amazing the things you want to eat but will not if you have to write them down and have them see all the bad foods you might eat otherwise. I got a .2 cc fill and have been walking 3 miles 3 to 4 times a week and doing set ups so hopefully with all theses changes I will see success. I run across this poem on my friend Marilyn's Page It gave me
encouragement and I hope she doesn't mind me sharing so that I might encourage someone else.
 
Don't Quit

When you've eaten too much and you're wearing a frown,
And you feel like the biggest failure in town.
You want to give up just because you gave in,
You forgot all about being healthy again.
So What! You went over your limit a bit,
It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit!
It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change,
It's learning the skills to get back in your range.
It's telling yourself you've done great up till now,
You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow.
It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal,
You're still going to make it, just stay in control.
To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,
Take back your will and get back in the race.
Often the straggler looses the grip,
Throws in the towel and continues to slip.
And learns too late when the damage is done,
That the race wasn't over...and still could have won.
Lifestyle changes can be awkward and slow,
But facing each challenge will help you grow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver lining in a cloud of doubt.
When pushed to the brink ,
Just stop and think.
Refuse to submit,
But don't ever quit.


Have a Great Day and God Bless You My Friends:)
