Will This Time Be Different?

[Joy1961 134]

As you pack away the old clothes ' date=' pack away all your old ways of thinking. This is different you have something inside you that will help you not be hungry, It has worked and it will continue to work.

The only thing that gets in your way is your head . Find other things to do instead of eating and thinking about food. It takes time to learn to think positive thoughts about yourself after years of wishing you were thin.

I gave away everything but one outfit I thought I looked kinda cute in. And now I just look at it and shake my head... For me when I look at that outfit and old fat pictures I realize that there is just no way I will let that pain and defeat back into my life. I am the one that controls that , and nothing I ever ate taste better than being thin and happy with that success.[/quote']

Awesome !!

You will be fine if you remember all of the above notes! I am 58 and I too have lost before, and gained back many times over my years.

I plan on doing what I am doing now and keep doing it, it is a lifestyle change along with a diet.

And hell, if this band of mine acts up I would do another surgery if I had to! (hoping my band is with me till death do we part) I am never giving up, I like the way I feel 91 pounds down and working my next 25 pounds!
