Instead of thinking about where you are, think about where you want to be. It takes twenty years of hard work to become an overnight success. Diana Rankin

I don't want to dwell on where I'm at right now. I want to keep my eye on the prize and focus on everything positive I need to do to reach my goal. It may take me longer than others, and I know this surgery in itself is no guarantee I will suceed, it will involve hard work, commitment and the support of family and friends. But I think maintaining a positive attitude and having faith will enable me to reach my goal.

Exactly! We can & should celebrate the milestones & NSVs' as they come, but ultimately we must focus on the prize, the prize of being free of not only all the unwanted weight, but also the prize of being free of the bondage of an obsession with food! That is my ultimate prize!!! I have FAITH!
