Re: Re: CRUISING AT 8 MONTHS POST GBP

[Guest guest]

So exciting . I love this Lori! Really. I'm down a lot, don't get me

wrong, but I have a ways to go, but even going to the beach this

weekend I'm looking forward to so much more than I was 2 months ago.

It's empowering to be losing weight like this. One of the hardest

things about dieting is the constant let downs and falling off the

wagon so to speak, that just doesn't happen with the surgery and the

more you lose and better you feel the more you want to keep yourself

honest and you're right, you don't think about food.
