When I turned 40, I just knew I had to do something about my weight or I was going to shorten my life. But dieting seemed impossible, so a stomach operation seemed my only hope. But when I looked at pictures of the actual surgery, I got "scared straight"! I liked the idea of lc, and when I saw the Sommersize plan that was an easy version of it, everything just fell into place for me. I knew what I had to do and I set out to do it, knowing that if I failed, then that stomach surgery would be my only choice.
That really helped focus my attitude and made a big difference.
And I've seen that same attitude in your posts (and in Judy's too). I really like to see that too, as it tells me you're really going to make it. I can feel it because that hope and determination keeps coming through.
And that's fantastic! Keep up the great work!!
