On a visit to my doctor after losing 30 pounds, I expected to hear some encouraging comment. I was so proud and eager to hear her congratulations. NOT A WORD! After a few visits, I finally pointed to my chart and said, "Look what I did!" Still, no reaction. The lesson I learned is that you can't look to others to validate your accomplishments. You have to congratulate yourself! No one is more vested in your success than you are. <br /><br />Thanks again for your kind words about my book on your blog. I'm glad you found it helpful and enjoyable. I'll check in now and again to see how you're doing. You'll be heading for Hawaii before you know it!Nancy B.

So much that I was scared enough to take action. Doctors really need to learn HOW to go about it if they are going to do it though. I had many devastating appointments, and even after having lost 80 lbs. many doctors don't even acknowledge it, so it goes both ways. But it's lifesaving information to receive and they should be informing their patients.<br /><br />I wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog! I enjoyed reading your book! :)Akhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547463158270283355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405111212752340739.post-35086619815565571092012-01-22T10:56:14.708-08:002012-01-22T10:56:14.708-08:00It's great to have your terrific story in the ...It's great to have your terrific story in the book!

I do limit soda and juice. In fact, my son asked the other day if he could have a Coke sometime when he wasn't sick. (I give it to him to settle his stomach.) I'm just worried about lifelong habits. My husband and his brothers all carry too much weight around the middle, but they can't seem to stay away from the junky foods they've always had -- pizza, subs, donuts, fried chicken, chips, etc. Childhood habits are hard to break.Nancy B.

My youngest almost 15 has always been a little thicker even though is active and eats healthy. Almost overnight when my son hit puberty he shot up 6 inches and thinned out. Encourage healthy eating but allow treats. Make sure there is plenty of physical activity. Keep pop and juice to a minimum. Focus on health not weight. Teen boys are ALWAYS hungry! My sister had the same experiences.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16872905050951347030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405111212752340739.post-49986640060214687312010-07-01T05:58:16.372-07:002010-07-01T05:58:16.372-07:00Thanks for your comment on my blog.

After months of agonizing, feeling ashamed, and overwhelmed I've decided to lose weight. I've read several weightloss books but I want to find what's really working for real people. So I started searching out blogs. I'm a seriously reluctant blogger but I think that starting a blog is a good first step on this journey! Thanks so much for taking the time to put this out there!!!CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12552548571100975382noreply@blogger.com
