Sue, thanks for the link, this is a wonderful and encouraging article, and the way of thinking applies not only to the weight loss journey, but i can be applied to life in general, even if one hasn't had surgery.

Great article. I'm going to print it when I have a chance and keep it around to read. Having kids who are marathon runners and watching them for years, I have seen all those stages and it's a great analogy. It will also help me explain it to them in terms that are familiar and understandable to their lifestyle.
Thanks for sharing.
