Oh and heres a big one, buy spanx in a s,m or l size!

agreed never again lane bryant!!

I want to go to macy's try on beautiful clothes, wear a two piece suit again, feel comfortable and sassy in my body, visit my brother in Hawaii, Run, play soccer with my nieces, Go to a water park and not worry if I will fit on the rides. Retake some wedding photos, with my original dress, taken in! Take a zumba class, yoga class and pilates water class without all the "judgy" looks...................

Amen sister!! I do the same thing, hang in there, try and celebrate small things, like you didn't eat the whole jar of peanut butter with a whole bottle of chocolate milk. I know it sounds silly but as I am waiting for my surgery date, and trying to fix my food issues, I can only think keep trying, keep trying, like yesterday I ate 4 chocolate kisses, however in the past it would have been handfuls. So I win! LOL

this is super awesome, I am waiting for my surgery date, but am a little over organized, or as my sis would say OCD, and want to be prepared and these lists are awesome!!

I have to say your first paragraph hit home, I am just starting my journey, and meeting with all the docs etc, and I have never felt so out of control diet wise. I start the day with the best of intentions, but it's like a little voice says oh go ahead, in a couple months it will all change, so you might as well eat it now. I realize as I type this how self destructive this is, I am meeting with a psych doc for clearance and have asked for more meetings to help deal with my anxiety and depression. It is nice to think that this is all part of the path, and I need to take it one hour at a time. Way to go on your peace of mind and I will try prayer, I go to Him all the time with all else!
