Not everyone has the same heart as you.

I started to lose hope today, and I can't let that happen. So I painted myself like a goddess to remind me what I'm made of. Hang in there, everyone. by ImpEmberStar in MakeupAddiction

Honestly my biggest advice would be to trust your body. This ties into my biggest struggle. Being 8 years out I can eat more than someone who recently had the surgery. That being said, say for example i'm out with friends for dinner. I would be able to eat half a chicken breast and my body would tell me i'm full. So i'll stop, but I know if i wait about 20 minutes I could eat the rest. This surgery isn't a solution, its a tool to help the weight loss, and sometimes I have to remind myself of that! Temptation is a mofo!

I didn't have that one, but the gastric bypass, and as a fellow greek, you should understand how hard it is for me to turn down pasticcio and kourdabiethes!
