my journey is almost complete

I'm recovering from a full Tummy Tuck after my successful wls a year ago 7-12-12.. its been a roller coaster but a true success!! I'm grateful and so blessed to have made it this far. although i didn't reach my goal wieght I'm still ok with my results. (just 12 pds to go ) i attribute my success to what i put in my mouth i no longer eat just because food is available or snack for no reason and food now is for fuel no for gloutney ...yes i enjoy food but it doesn't control me I'm able to ignore/ and battle those cravings those binges and that takes nothing but full will power on my part!! (not easy) i always have leftovers and i never finish a full plate of food. self control has become the norm. (not easy) but i pray and just a complete change of old habits.. although i have great support from everyone around me its really all up to me. i will never go back to that big me i hated! i do get hunger attacks but i battle them with healthy choices. i have critics who say i took the lazy easy way out but they are not in my shoes and this journey worked for me. my advise is if you are ready to start on your journey you have to be truly ready! and find what works for you!

The last phase of my journey once I'm fully recovered is to tone my body at a gym (something i dread and dislike very much) but I'm determined to conquer if the gym doesn't agree with me i will tone at home and continue my mall walks. blessings to all.

Congratulations! So inspiring to read ur story and the very real way u are dealing with ur "new" way of living.

In the great scheme of things, the gym will be a pushover after everything u have achieved. Well maybe not, lol, but I bet if u tackle it with the same attitude u have ur wls, u will be back on here telling us that the last 12lbs have gone :-))))

Good luck in ur recovery from the tt, hope it goes well x
