This is one of my most FAVORITE words. Coming from a post-op patient who has hit many bumps in the road, in the long run I can honestly say I have PERSEVERED!! Here is one of my favorite quotes from Small Bites Daily Inspirations by Katie Jay
Some days you wake up feeling tired or distracted. You just don’t have the time or energy to follow your WLS regimen at that moment. So you skip breakfast, ore eat that slice of cold pizza that you righteously avoided the night before. Days of discouragement shouldn’t surprise you. They are reminders that food will always be complicated- either a discomfort or a distraction.
The key to real change is perseverance. When you take a misstep, for whatever reason, know that you will continue to persevere in your WLS recovery. You will start over at the next meal – you will overcome the temptation next time. That is how you’ll succeed.
Being perfect just isn’t going to happen. SO persevere.
Action for the day: No matter where you are in your recovery, today you will persevere. Start over every time you stray from your plan. Start over as often as necessary.
** Don’t give up! Keep coming back, share your struggles and successes**
Big hugs (((( ))))
