I have decided that this whole journey that we are on is better faced with a positive attitude. :thumbup:

I made the choice to have this surgery. I researched all that I could BEFORE I registered for the program. I know that all of my past efforts failed...and sadly it took for me to get to my highest weight before I took things seriously.

I made a promise to myself that I was going to use this band as a tool to keep me on pace. It is not a magic wand that will make the temptations disappear, it will provide that subtle reminder that I don't ever want to go back to the old habits that got me overweight in the first place.

We need to keep focused on the real reason we have made this choice...to stay alive and healthy!

No bad food choice is worth the risk of losing what is really important.....family and loved ones!

I am not going to let negativity slow down my progress!!!!!! How about you?

NO WAY!!! Thanks for the reminder that attitude counts for so much! AWESOME!

Well said Salty, you took the words right out of my mouth.

You brought tears to my eyes Salty. You are so right. We have to stay focused, no bad food choice is worth dying over. I want to see my kids grow up.

Thank you for sharing, Salty!
