Great advice! I've been just recently slipping back into an old habit of allowing myself to snack. My 27 pound 4 year- old son eats Prezel Crisps all day long and they sit around in a bowl 100% of the time waiting for him to grab a few, and recently for me to grab a few. I think I'll just put a lid on them and keep them out of my sight! (must remember to feed tiny son, however!)

Step 9

Accept plateaus. According to Dr. McGee, behavior change follows a predictable curve, rising quickly at first, reaching a plateau, and then rising more slowly with still more plateaus. "You're going to get discouraged and want to quit because you're not making much progress," says Dr. McGee. "If you know to expect this, you'll be more prepared to stay with your goal."

I know ... Isn't it funny. An article totally unrelated to WLS, yet, this step just rings so true. As I mentioned above, the whole article just struck a chord with me and was hoping it may resonate with others.
