How I Have Maintain Weight Loss of 200 lbs After Gastric Bypass Surgery

How I Have Maintained Weight Loss of 200lbs After Gastric Bypass Surgery

1. Mindful eating-stay aware of what goes into my mouth

2. Stay aware of what may be causing me to eat when not physically hungry-triggers

3. Identifying my emotional triggers-lonely, sad, angry, tired or happy

4. Am I really physically hunger or is there an emotional need not being met-hold out
from eating at least 20 minutes if not sure

5. Continue to listen to my inner self’ cry for help


6. Learn and continue to take care of self-rest, play, pray


7. Learn self soothing techniques-meditation, pedicures, massages, reading, singing
karaoke

8. Get and stay physically active-ballroom dancing, gymnastics, belly dancing,
walking

9. Drink plenty of water daily

10. Positive speech-speak positive and up building to self

11. Eat delicious and nutritious meals-create inviting meals, get new and fresh
recipes often (Free recipes available at www.KitchenSavvyPlus.com)

12. Food is not the enemy-must address my attitude regarding use of food to medicate
my feelings

13. Remember to use the kids menu when eating out, if not available ask to have half
of my meal boxed and bagged in kitchen prior to table service

14. Create a new self image-enjoy my new look

15. Buy something new once a month-lipstick, sexy stockings, nail polish

16. Celebrate all of the accomplishments I have already achieved and make reachable
future goals


REPEAT THIS STATEMENT DAILY: I FEEL VERY PROUD OF MYSELF. I HAVE WORKED HARD AND I LOOK GREAT!
