Dear Friend:
The long and short of what I wanted to talk to you about
last night was support. You need support. You need a food and exercise buddy to
work out with you, learn about new foods, go to the farmer’s market, help you
plant things, and help encourage you through the whole process. I couldn’t have
done it without Adam and wouldn’t be able to lose the baby weight without him.
We are together regardless (and without judgment). We learned about foods; how
to cook them, what we like and we are open to experimenting. Everything from
soup to sushi, parsnips to broccolini, crabs to swai, we have tried them all
and learned about ourselves and our bodies. You can do this. The WLS is just a
tool, like a treadmill or a refrigerator full of veggies. It isn’t the whole
picture. It’s not a magic wand and you really have to apply every tool you have
to achieve lifelong fitness.
Sincerely,
Louise
