I'm Not Special

Great post - you're special for being able to recognize your weakness with the carbs and be honest with yourself!  Great job - it is so easy to get ****y!

Just had a heart to heart about this with the BF. I appreciate his support but I need his help to stay vigilant. He Is so complimentary but Im nibbling off his plate!

I'm lucky, my daughter is greedy with food - if my food moves toward her plate, I get "the look" lol!  Ask you bf to develop a look for you too! (Even if he doesn't mind sharing, it is a great reminder to slow your forks roll.)

Great post! It is not over until it's over - good for you for recognizing your slips for what they are...a threat to your success.

Thanks! I am learning that it is never over.

Thanks for your post... I needed it today. It is amazing the vets know exactly hat they are talking about. It is funny how many posts you can read and kind of think to yourself. -not me...that wont happen to me. Ha! It can, it does, and that just might be your post somewhere down the road. Have a fantastic week!

Although I may not always want to hear what the vets have to say, their words of wisdom are invaluable. Have a great week as well!

Fabulous post!!! Very true and very wise. Thank you!!

Thanks.one of the things I like most about this forum is the support from people who are in various stages of this journey.

Can I ask you, what are the foamies / slimies? Everyone mentions these and I have read and read and still can't find and answer.

Congratulations on recognizing where you were headed and putting a stop to it. This is something I have to keep at the forefront of my mind (surgeon submitted to insurance today) so I can catch any bad habits early post-op. Thank you for the wake up call that this is truly not a miracle fix but a tool that we must be vigilant in maintaining.
