I did not lose the weight

[Guest guest]

Hi , I ate all the way up to the orientation and then even a

week after. I had a list of favorite foods that I could never eat

again so I ate them before orientation and for a week after. I don't

know if I gained weight or not. But I set a deadline so that all that

food had to be eaten by that day. They said its a journey not a race,

so here I am about 4 months later and about one pound from my goal. I

haven't eaten any of those forbidden foods. As a matter of fact, I

just eat mostly protein, some salad and tangerines to keep my

bloodsugar up. I have to be careful of that too. I feel this long

journey, very difficult, has led me to the point that I will have

little problem going over to the other side, almost seemless, unless I

have complications. I am 65 and my doctor, Baggs, told me I was high

risk. Hummmm. I exercise now every day, too. How? I'll never know

how. I just plodded along. Lilka

Lilka, congrats on your success so far. I know that

you can get that one pound off. You just have to stay

at it and not give up. You should be so proud of

yourself for not touching those foods that you THOUGHT

you could never do without. It is amazing isn't it

the limits that we put on ourselves because we really

don't know just how STRONG we are until we are faced

with a situation where we have to tap into our on

abilities. Hang in there. You are a trooper!
