A Plan For Success:

some tidbits I noted:

~ get a support network.

~ commit to staying exactly on the pre-op diet.

~ commit to post-op diet fully.

~ find ways to celebrate events that aren't food related.

~ keep good correct foods in the house and at work.

~ avoid alcohol to the extent possible. (did I mention I like a glass or two of red wine?!)

~ commit to taking small bites and chewing until food is dissolved.

~ commit to small sips.

~ journal/blog regularly & chronicle success. (admit if I mess up)

~ measure myself monthly & log & take pictures.

~ note NSV's as they happen.

~ focus on hobbies & other interests.
