Zen,

Having surgery gave you a tool, as you know we must put it to use. As Andrew mentioned, there is probably alot more going on here.

As some one 2 1/2 years out, I can say that I promised myself a 5 pound range and I do not beat myself up over it. I never made goal, yet, I feel really good and accept that.

My signature says 164, well, I was 164 for 3 hours....but I maintain 168-173. That is my 5 pound range. By accepting t, I don't feel like a failure. I know if I want to work harder I could lose more. Maybe over the summer I will, but for me...having kept this weight off is just as important as losing it.

With that mindset, you then begin loving your self, enjoying your soul and accepting that where you are matters more when you remember where you have been.

It is about embracing your own self, and letting go of the negative.

Do you love your children, no matter what? Well, do the same to your self, because then you take better care of your self, you are deserving of your own love and care!!

Be well!
Rain
