Three Steps Forward, One Step Back

Go to any online wls forum out there, BTV, Obesity Help or others, and you’ll see a number of posts where members “beat themselves up” over different things… often for falling back in to an old pre-op habit that they “know better” than doing.

Ya know what? Good!

Ok, fine, I’m not advocating giving yourself lashes with a cat-o-nine-tails like that albino dude from The DaVinci Code or anything. No, but this is a sign that you are aware of what you are doing, even if sometimes it’s after the fact.

You know the old saying, “one step forward, two steps back”?

Well, maybe think of all this as a progression, so maybe you’re at three steps forward, one step back.

Now it’s time to shoot for four…

About Rob

I had RNY Gastric Bypass on April 8, 2009. I went from my heaviest of over 380 down to a low of 188 (for about a day!) before working on rebuilding muscle and such. Now I maintain at about 205. WLS has changed my life in so many ways, including my career as I now tackle nutritional coaching and other obesity education issues.
