Re: Almost feeling like I'm ready to give up...

Pam,

A woman I know who went through WLS pointed out that she still has to

live in the real world - potlucks at work and attending banquets are

part of her job, and she had to learn how to deal with them. I

suspect that that's one reason they make us lose that 10% - to show

that we can deal with that sort of thing. Don't beat yourself up about

going to Mickey D's.

You did better than you would have before, but there are choices that

you could have made that would have been better. . . instead of a

burger and fries, maybe a salad with low-fat dressing (and only use

part of the dressing; it's loaded with calories!) Instead of Coke, how

about bottled water (I think they sell it there?) or milk? Or, of

course, you could have Diet Coke - still soda, but at least it's

sugar-free.
