WELL I HAD MY DR. APPT. TODAY. I LOST ANOTHER 3 1/2 LBS. FOR A TOTAL OF 50 LBS. YEAH!! I AM AT MY HALF WAY GOAL NOW. I ALSO GOT A FILL BEING MY 3RD. - 1/2 CC. MAKING A TOTAL OF 5.75 CC IN A 10 CC BAND. IT DIDN'T HURT THIS TIME EITHER. THE DR. ASSISTANT DID IT THIS TIME. YEAH! SO IT IS LIQUIDS TODAY, SOFT TOMORROW AND THEN REG DIET. I HOPE I HAVE ALOT MORE RESTRICTION NOW. I AM GOING TO TRY SOME GROUND LEAN HAMBURG SOON AS I HAVE YET TO HAVE THAT. I AM GETTIN TIRED OF CHICKEN, FISH, TUNA, AND SALMON. I ALSO ATTENDED MY GROUP SUPPORT MEETING TODAY. DR. RYS THE PSYCIATRISH WAS GUEST SPEAKER. HE WAS GREAT. VERY INSPIRATIONAL. THREE THINGS HE SAID THAT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU. 1.) EVERY DAY THAT YOU DO GOOD, REWARD YOURSELF WITH SOMETHING. IT CAN BE AS SMALL AS A CARAMEL, OR A FLAVORED CREAMER FOR YOUR COFFEE OR TEA, OR IT CAN BE AS BIG AS NEW CLOTHING. IT WILL HELP YOU FEEL MOTIVATED. 2.) KEEP A JOURNAL. EVERY DAY WRITE DOWN ONLY THE GOOD THINGS THAT YOU DID FOR THE DAY. THEN READ IT EACH DAY. IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE HAVING A DOWN DAY. 3.) HE SAID EVERYONE FAILS AT SOME POINT - AND WHEN YOU DO, PICK YOURSELF UP, DUST YOURSELF OFF, AND START ALL OVER AGAIN! SOUNDS LIKE GOOD ADVICE TO ME. I THINK I MAY JUST TRY THESE THINGS. SO HERE'S TO A WONDERFUL TOMORROW!!!
