Once the "honeymoon" of the surgery is over, these are the issues we deal with. I like the speed bump analogy. I would like to get back on the interstate and avoid all of those speed bumps, but as long as I keep driving.... Katie do you have Kik? If so, I'm Melissa Losesitall or Melissalosesit (not sure which one). I'd love to join you guys in your journey to lose these last few pounds. We are so close, and we will get there - even if we have to take turns carrying each other!

@Melissalosesitall Melissa I sadly don't use Kik, still with my current blackberry using BBM. But I'll see you on facebook ;)

Thanks for this video! I needed to see this I was banded on 9-21-09 and I'm 16 pounds from my goal, but I've been bouncing around the 160's for weeks now despite my hardcore 360 minute a week spin/weight lifting workouts and the reason is why is because things you describe. Most of this battle is in our HEAD! What is your facebook you tube page?

This was so helpful and that quote is now on my white board. We have had years of learned behaviors and bad behaviors where we think a mistake means we're doomed, but that's not the case. Thank you so much!

yay you actually completed the couch to 5k within the 30 minutes!! woot woot!! I feel like you were speaking directly to me in this video. I was having those mental struggles, and I LOVE the quotes. Thank you so much for your insights.

Great Video Katie. Thanks for sharing...totally needed this. Seems like we are all hitting bumps. But regardless of my speed bumps, I'm going to keep on driving....thanks!!

Thank you Katie! I needed to hear this. Im only 4 months post op. Lately I have been struggling with staying on track. I'm a stay-at-home mother of 3 boys ages 8,6 and 4. Now that they are home for the summer it is hard for me to stay on track. It takes a lot to maintain them and keep up with my eating and exercising. It is a chore to keep track of meals, calories, protein and exercise. It takes a lot of planning my schedule and the kids. But this video calmed me down. Thank you!!
