Getting my mind right...

Well, it has been a little over 2 years since surgery. I was down about 120 lbs. I regained about 20 lbs. I hit a number on the scale that I said I would never see again.  How did I do that? I went back to old habits. Sweets, bread and high fat & calorie foods. I cried in the doctor's office when he looked at my weight. He didn't scold me. He just told me that I have to get my mind right and get back on track.   I pretty much beat myself up over this. I stressed and I cried. I was so disappointed in myself.

Dreaded Doctor's Appointment
