Thumbs up Wow!

Thank you so much for posting that, Sandi! I REALLY needed to read it - it's interesting to me that seeing the words "weight regain" immediately made me think that this person has regained all that they lost through surgery, when in fact he's been battling 20 lbs, not 220 lbs. What is this "all or nothing" thinking that we do? 80% of the "normal" people that I know are trying to lose that last 20 lbs - why is it the end of the world for us?

Thanks again - it gave me a lot to think about while simultaneously making me feel better about the future.
