A lot of people think the people at Goal had it easy. They see photos of successful post-ops and and think they don't struggle. They read through the comments from the people who nailed the Inspire Diet Challenge and lost weight and gained GOOD habits and think "Why can't I be that lucky? It's so hard for me."
Guess what? They do struggle. Just like you, this did NOT come Naturally to them, to me. To anyone.
So how do they do it? What's the secret? They don't give up. They didn't take getting to the weight loss goal they wanted as a reason to ADD FOOD BACK IN.
Why? Because they left it behind for a reason...before surgery they also didn't know what they were doing with food and how unhealthy their eating patterns were. And you know what? It SHOWED on their body. WHY would they add foods BACK in that helped them get Obese in the first place?
You can do this too....use our Inspire Diet to STOP the madness and CHANGE.

If you've been doing our March Inspire Diet Challenge you know that one of your daily tasks on each check-in is to weigh yourself.
There's a few reasons we've discussed before, and on our website (this article: https://www.bariatriceating.com/blogs/bariatric-advice-and-support/the-scale-friend-or-enemy ) but there's a bigger reason than the truly important getting to know your body.
It's to make peace with what your MIND seems to think will happen when you start losing weight again.
You see one of the biggest things that no one talks about, and trips EVERYONE up is that during our initial stages as a post op we are dropping a pond or more DAILY. Now we've said this before and we'll say it again, no matter how hard you are working that first year it's not YOU it's the surgery. People here who couldn't get to goal, and those to got to goal and regained can attest to the fact that your Surgery is driving the bus for at least the firs year, and if you're lucky the first year and a half.
So by ...
We get it....every now and then we all need a fresh start.
Listen to this if you are struggling but ready to get on track TODAY!
